Hey, AD. I thought it was "Suzanne D'Flanzimay". Thanks for a funny post. Some of these comments had me howling with laughter!

Well, in all fairness to Manfred Mann, Blinded by the Light, (and Spirit in the Night, (same album)) WERE Bruce Springsteen songs. (Originally released on
Greetings from Asbury Park)

And I sometimes think Mr. Springsteen has left a few reality connections behind...

Chiming in late here, but only because I seem to be the only one who misheard the lyrics for Greased Lightening...

I've got shoes,

their both a flyin'

and I'm losing control

unfortunately I told this to my friends when I was a pre-teen, and never lived it down.

And to anonymous, I also mishear the England Dan & John Ford Coley song "I'm not talking about the linen"

There are a couple of books on the subject, including "He's Got the Whole World in His Pants"

The kids in chapel at my Episcopal school sang "Amazing Grapes" ... with the line "that saved a wrench like me"

My dad thought Hank Williams was singing about "Jambalai, horsemeat pie, file Gumbo.
(Jamabalai, crawfish pie, file gumbo.), and my brother thought it was "There's Mr. Abby, the tower car man" in England Swings.

And who can forget the moving Christmas Caro, "Oh, lit up town I bet me ham", or the hymn, "Gladly, the cross-eyed bear"?

...Always sort of wondered at the plight of the guy in the 80's who was "livin' for Audrey, lovin' for Ramona"....also, felt a little left out when I heard that "only the lonely get laid" ("Reverend blue jeans" and the "one winged dove" were issues for me as well). Thanks for the humor--wow, I needed that!

there is that fat holy guy "Round John Virgin" (with his mother and child)

And just so you know that this is not a new phenomenon, mom used to sing "O spee spees and barley grow" (Should be "Oats, Peas, Beans, and barley...") and that was in the twenties.

I always thought it was Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you. IIRC His friends were planning to surprise him JT with her being at a concert and the plane crashed.

A friend of mine sang Bruce Springsteen's "Tenth Avenue Freeze-out" as "ten devils in tree sap". I laughed so hard I cried.

In margaritaville, I thought that the words " so drunk he couldn't find the door" were "so drunk he could find the floor". For all of my college years, and many years thereafter, I thought that Jimmy Buffett was beyond brilliant not only for his music, but because he had truly defined "drunk." Imagine my surprise when I mentioned it to a friend, only to find out it wasn't floor, but door. I think Jimmy should change the lyrics. I mean if you are so drunk you can't find the floor, then damn, you are drunk!!!

My ex-husband, when we were in high school, was overheard singing AC/DC: "Dirty deeds and the Thunder Chief" --- which of course spawned a nickname that he still carries. Imagine a stadium full of football fans chanting "Thunder Chief! Thunder Chief!" and having no idea where it'd come from...

My daughter thought Black Betty was a sheep. Perfectly logical really. After all, "Black Betty had a child" and "that thing gone wild, BAM THE LAMB".

Black Betty's child went feral and had to be shot; why else would anyone Bam a Lamb? This, obviously, made Black Betty a sheep.

Like I said, perfectly logical.

Guy my dad worked with - his little boy was singing the Kenny Rogers song "Lucille" and thought it was "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille - four hungry children, a-crappin in the field."

Heh Heh.

My friend always though Thompson Twins "Hold Me Now" was:

Hold me now...oh, oh, wash my car.

[Hold Me Now, Warm My Heart]

There's plenty of songs now-a-days that I just shake my head and think...what I'm hearing CAN'T be what they are singing, can it?

I loved hearing my daughter warble along with This is the Guardian of the Angel's Aquarium...
Guess it was a Sixth Dimension?

(never shoulda made her listen to oldies.)

For those younger than dirt, It's the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

In her defense, she was only 9 at the time!

Alanis Morrisette always sang about the "cross-eyed bear" that she gave to me!

Linkin Park, 'Papercut':

'I feel the light betray me'

Morphed into:

'I feel like I'm Dick Cheney!'

Three of us heard it that way and we were ALL staring at each other in confusion. 'He feels like our Vice President?' (this was back pre-Zero days).

Billy Joel's Big Shot, I thought was :

"You had to be a big shot, ninja

All your friends were so knocked out"

Well, it kinda made sense :)

For years and years I heard Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U as

“I went to the doctor n’guess what he told me

Guess what he told me

He said girl you better try to have fall in love

No matter what you do”

and not

"He said girl you better try to have fun

No matter what you do”

No idea how I turned a one syllable three letter word into three one syllable words. But I always thought it was awesome that it was awkward and didn't really fit in there because it shows how she’s breaking down and can’t get a clear sentence out, which all of us do sometimes when we are very emotional and or stressed out. Which to me, fits what is going on here in the song. Except that I was wrong, so umm...yeah. Nevermind.

When I was a kid I used to argue with my mom that the lyric was "every time you go away you take a piece of MEAT with you."

When I was a teenager, I used to sing along with Nirvana's "Come as You Are:" "And I SMELL and I don't have a GOD..."

The Pussycat Dolls have a song I used to hear on the radio a lot, "When I Grow Up". One of the lines of the chorus was, according to my ear (and likely my preference for a certain portion of the female anatomy):

When I grow up

I wanna see the world

drive nice cars

I wanna have boobies

Actual word is 'groupies', but until I looked it up, I was a little disturbed by that.

This is too much. My eyes are watering so hard I can't see. My all-time favorite has to be the Rolling Stones' "I'll Never Leave Your Pizza Burnin'".

I still think that "One Ton Tomato" sounds better than "Guantanamera".

And I'll take my brother's warbled version of "Simian Angel" over "Send Me An Angel".

I never could figure out why John Fogerty was saying:

Don't go out tonight-

It's bound to take your life.

There's a bathroom on the right.

Maybe he was concerned about my bladder health?

And it was recently a friend of mine told me that for the longest time he thought that Led Zeppelin was anti-semetic. Really! Listen to the end of Stairway to Heaven:

"And if you listen very hard

The Jew will bother you a lot."
