Blinded By The Light Manfred MannRevved up like a deuce, running in the night
Miss heard wrapped up like a douche in the night
For you who don’t know the real lyric it refers to a 1932 Ford hot rod called a deuce and they were drag racing. The song was written by Bruce Springteen.
I love that song. And most of my childhood I sang the wrong lyrics.
My husband just told me to add Blinded By the Light. I told him too late. Bahaha

My husband always sings it that way...on purpose! He knows the real words just likes being silly.
When I was about Four years old in the early fifties, I heard for the first time the Christmas song “i saw mama kissing santa clause.”I was crushed and angry that a mother could cheat on her husband. I hated that song, but gave Santa a pass since he brought the presents.
A few years later a neighbor girl enlightened me that Santa didn’t exist and the father was dressed as Santa and parents provided the gifts! What a relief, but i still hate the song!
Whe I taught lower elementary we had to do the Christmas PTA program. The other teachers wanted to do that song and it irked me! Even thought we know it’s daddy dressed up I wasn’t sure 2nd graders would know that. Hahaha. I was out voted and the little 7 year old got up there singing it. I NEVER liked that song.
It took a few times to figure it out. The song is "you're not much since I quit drinkin' " The lyrics were I'm feedin the dog and sackin' the trash." I heard I'm beatin the dog and sackin' the trash. All I could think was why was the dog getting picked on? Then I got it straightened out.
Jimmy Hendrix, Purple Haze. “Scuse me while I kiss this guy.”
I’m a believer The MonkeysI’ve seen her face, now I’m a believer

That's awesome!
Rol “gonna leave her.” That’s a new one for me. Now I can’t I hear it.
Randall that may win the prize. Of course, this is 2025 so who even would look. Bahahaha
Well this on isn’t really misheard lyrics, just redefined. Haha. It’s for us older people that walk into a room and can’t remember why they are thereStealers Wheel Stuck in the Middle
Lyrics:
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Whole new meaning to me as I get older. Bahahaha.
all good ones! You guys are too funny!
In my high school rock band the guy who sang that song thought that might be the real lyrics of “Purple Haze”. We dissuaded him, nonetheless, keeping Jimmy’s intended lyrics. On the other hand…??
Well Jimmy would be proud you shared. Hahaha. Of course, we didn’t have google back then to look it up. It may have been the real lyrics that they changed them. Hahaha. I’m laughing so hard.
REM Losing my Religion:Misheard: Let’s pee in the corner; let’s pee in the spotlight
Lyrics: That’s me in the corner; that’s me in the spotlight
The song "I'll Be Home for Christmas" famously causes the Mandela Effect, with most people remembering "you can COUNT on me," while the actual original lyrics (and most modern recordings) use "PLAN on me". Both versions exist, leading to confusion, but the original 1943 Bing Crosby recording and many subsequent artists like The Carpenters and Vanessa Williams use "plan," though "count" resonates more with listeners.
Wow. I had to look that up. My dad would be shocked. Hahaha. He taught me that song when I was little. If only we had google in then60’s. Hahaha.
