I know I've messed up plenty of lyrics, but the one that comes to mind is one that someone else sang:
********
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger (80's rock!)
Risin up
back on the street
<take my dime, take my ten cents>.
REAL LYRICS:
did my time took my chances
********
I'll come up with my own lyric-mess up when I'm singing in the car!

Oh, got one! I can't believe I'm even admitting to listening, let alone singing, to this song, but here goes:
****
Blinded by the Light - by Manfred Mann's Earth Band
My version:
Wrapped up like a douche
Real lyrics:
revved up like a deuce |

You need a special post for your 1000th. :D
Anyways in Nine inch nails song closer I ALWAYS hear
My Whole existence is Flan
I know that's not it, and I always knew it was wrong, but I can't help it. If Flan is wrong, then I don't want to be right!

I thought it was "wrapped up like a deuche" until sometime in college so you aren't alone.
LOL at Esteban's.
I thought that "Evil Woman" by ELO was "Medieval Woman" and I didn't get it. Were Medieval women known for being bad? |

Dakota - "My Whole existence is Flan"?????
Did you have a hankering for something sweet when you first heard the song? |

I love it!!! Especially since I am sure Elton John would have happily danced with Tony Danza. |
