That would have been a much better song.

Years ago, when I listened to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles, hereās this one lyric that doesnāt sound too bad:
āA girl with kalidescope eyesā
But my dad told me that it sounded like:
āA girl with colitis go byā
Donāt believe me? Listen to the lyrics, and hear for yourself!
It was so hilarious that I laughed a bit too much afterwards.

Enyaās Orinoco Flow.
I used to think that the chorus was āSave a whale! Save a whale! Save a whale!ā

Well, what else could it be? Certainly not something as hacky as āSail away! Sail away! Sail away!ā

Hereās one just from today. I was listening to my compilation of Disturbed songs (no full album just the songs I like) and āIndestructibleā came on. I realized that some of the lyrics I was singing could not possibly be the right ones so I looked them up and I was right. They were wrong.
Here are the real lyrics in the chorus:
Iāll have you know
That Iāve become
Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Iāve been singing
Determination that is incorruptible
From the AMAZON
A terror to behold.
Yeah, no.

Hereās a reverse one. In Michael Jacksonās āP.Y.T.ā thereās a lyric where he calls the pretty young thing ātenderoniā and when I sang it my boss stopped me and said āHang on a minute, thereās no way thatās what he actually says. Is this like the Richard Scary thing again?ā This time I got the last laugh because ātenderoniā is indeed what he says

Look, I just want to know why it was so important for Johnny Cash to tell us that his friend was from Sweden.

Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a buzz or he couldnāt get to sleep.
(I still think that would be the better line.)

It was not until Princeās death that I learned that what I thought was āLiving Cometā was, in fact, āLittle Red Corvette.ā I even knew Prince had a song called āLittle Red Corvetteā and assumed it was some other song Iāve never heard. To this day, I still have trouble hearing anything but āLiiii-Ving Co-Met!ā

Ugh, SO MANY bits in this song that I still forget the real words to.
āFor forty days and for forty nights, I was out of sight [correction: the law was on her side], but who can stand when sheās in demand, hurts knees of the land [her schemes and plans]ā
And thatās just one example

Yes! I always thought that was the lyric, but then, when I was looking for it I kept seeing grey. When I looked it up, Seal has apparently refused to say what it means, claiming that there is more than one meaning to songs. Honestly, when artists say something like that, I feel like theyāre either lying because they donāt want to say (which is their right, I suppose) or else they really donāt know either. At least Nirvana admitted that the lyrics didnāt always mean anything.

Iām positive they donāt know what it means, they just thought it sounded cool. Sometimes the curtains really are just blue

I wonder whether it means youāre getting a kiss from a rose thatās on the grey (whatever that means) or that the rose is going to kiss you on the grey (whatever that means).
Either way, Iām not sure why Baby would want to be compared to it. Eh, itās one of those songs that sounds good if you donāt pay attention to the lyrics.

Itās true. I actually like the song, but when I think about it, I wonder what it means.
