Yep. Up in the top ten misheard lyrics of all time I would guess.
Much like "there's a bathroom on the right", "excuse me while I kiss this guy" or "wrapped up like a douche like a roller in the night"

It's still more fun to sing douche.

Also I was surprised to learn that Who Are You has profanity in it. I blame CSI.

"hold me closer Tony Danza!"

I always thought fatboy slim's "Praise you like I should" said "praise you like a shoe" when it first came out.

20 years later that's still how I sing it

First time I heard this I thought they were singing "Hot tub luv". Even once I knew better it is still what I hear in my head.

And now we've moved on to dub step.

There's a word at 0:55 in this video that's always bothered me. For decades. Literally, decades. One of my favorite albums of all times.

Many lyrics sites on the net claims it's

And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks
The one you'll know by

But, that's not grammatically correct, is it? (I foreigner am, yes, yes)
And it doesn't make much contextual sense, does it?
Always sounded like "fix" to me, by that doesn't make any more sense. Later in the song it sounds like "pitch".

So, what do the OT intelligentsia think?

They're song lyrics. Grammar takes a back seat to artistic license. Published lyrics take a back seat to listeners' interpretation. For me, they forever will be "Wrapped up like a douche, you know the roller in the night." and "'Scuze me while I kiss this guy."

You want bad grammar in a song?

So you're saying I can just decide it's "pitch" and I'll be correct because that's what I hear and what makes sense to me? Done :-)

Also, another two of my all-time favorite songs right there. No, three. I like the Boss' original AND the Manfred Mann cover.

Why do I feel like I'm repeating myself? Oh. Because I kinda am :-) https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show...5&postcount=43
