What are some lyrics you got all wrong for years?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46811points) December 4th, 2018

(The first 2 lines are from the internet, the second 2 lines are what I always heard, even though I knew it didn’t make any sense….)

♪On a dark desert highway
Cool whip in my hair
A parapalegic
Rising up through the air…♫

And, of course, “Wrapped up like a douche, another rumor in the night….” I know, I know. No need to correct me on it.

You don’t even want to hear me sing “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress”!

So did I @rebbel. It’s a joke.
But I never did quite understand the 3rd line, and “paraplegic,” came close. Yes, I know I can google it all in a heart beat. Just play along.

Journey: Don’t Stop Believin

Smelly wine & sheep perfume”

“In the desert
You can’t remember your name
Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no fame…”

“Oh, moon of Armageddon” rather than Alabama.
In my defense, Armageddon is more fitting in a song by the Doors.

Credence Clearwater Revival – Down on the Corner in particular:

“Rooster hits the washboard And people just got to smile
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while”.

Sure, make fun of me but listen to the song and tell me this is what you hear.

The Eagles song Doolin-Dalton.
The sentence I hear is “And I risk thee for the pain”.
It’s actually “Red eye whiskey for the pain”

Dixie Chicks-Wide Open Spaces

As they sing it-“She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes”

I hear “She goes to Ohio State”

Go Bucks
