    Yeah even Tony Kornheiser from PTI admitted on his old radio show he was tripped up by those lyrics as well.

      How about "dirty Deeds done Dirt Cheap" my buddy used to say "Dundder chief!?!?!?!?
      Noy sure where he got that but okay.

        You beat me to it! That is the one I was going to say as well. I thought for the longest time as a kid that was what Jimmi was singing in that song. The first time I heard that song I was like what?!? I never was a big fan of him because of that misinterpretation. I used to think that he was kind of funny if you know what I mean. Long since that time of course I have come to know better and know what the song lyrics is actually about.

          "Louie, Louie"

          The whole song was incomprehensible until I read the lyrics in an Esquire article once.

            Reading the lyrics is kind of like the directions to put something together. Who ever does that? That kind of takes all of the fun out of it.

              I admit it, I've done this, and I know the word you're referring to!

              When I was a kid I used to sing "Boogie Up and Dance" instead of "Boogie Wonderland".
              "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
              'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
              Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
              If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                  The one that always got me was CCR's "There's a Bad Moon Rising" It sounds just like bath room on the right.

                    Steely Dan - Show Biz Kids

                    Original Lyrics
                    "Go to Las Wages, Los Wages, go to Las Wages..."

                    Lyrics I heard
                    "Bolan's not Swedish, not Swedish, Bolan's not Swedish.."

                    I thought they were singing about Marc Bolan from T-Rex not being
                    Swedish...and I thought "They are right, he's not..."


                    Marc Bolan...Not Swedish.

                      Another one for me is Led Zeppelin's BLACK DOG .......

                      The real lyrics
                      A big legged woman aint got no soul.

                      What I hear
                      Big lipped woman aint got no soul.

                        Kenny Rogers "you picked a fine to to leave me Lucile"

                        The correct lis is

                        "with 4 hungry children and crops in the field"

                        I thought it said

                        with 400 children and crops in the field


                        Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

                                That one is toooo funny. I heard an radio interview with Jeff Lynn who said they eventually began singing the wrong lyrics on purpose because everybody thought that's what they were actually saying.

                                It was actually - Grouse

                                Grouse - to complain regularly and continually, often in a way that is not constructive.
