Always thought that Hendrix's 'Wind Cries Mary' contained the line 'the jets are in their boxes'. Closer inspection reveals the jacks are in their boxes. Shame really as it destroys my smart arse observance.

Yeh right.......when the song is actually called "Manic Monday" or did they think the song was also called "man named Monday"Danepak said:A friend of mine thought Bangles were singing:

Nirvana - On A Plain
”Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who don’t make sense” - I used to wonder what they had against Ranulph Fiennes. To be honest I was mostly surprised that Cobain had even heard of him.Turned out he was singing “to write off lines that don’t make sense” which is far less interesting but a lot more logical really.0 - Sponsored links:

My sister-in-law (as a teenager) for many months sang 'well I hurdled through the grapevine'
real lyric is of course 'well I heard it on the grapevine...'
It still hurts her 45 years later when mentioned.....!

Pet shop Boys. West End Girls.
I always thought the lyrics were ' in a West End Town in Danwelt'
My girl friend thought it was 'in a West End Town the telling was'
We were both wrong of course.
Kaiser Chiefs I predict a riot. Sounded like ' I put it aside' to me for years even tho I know the title!0 -
Few years ago during a supermarket visit, they were playing Constant Craving (K.D. Lang). My daughter asked me why she sang: Can't stand gravy ?3

Madonna……”I fell in love with some Dago “Isla Bonita”……it honestly sounds as if that’s what she’s singing.
Just realised I already posted similar earlier in the thread….Ooops.🫣2 -

A 70-year-old story:-
I had recently started infant school, and my new friend Trisha had come for tea. We were out in the garden and she was singing at the top of her voice a well known {??!!!) hymn.
"Drown him, drown him all ye little children. He is love, He is love" she carolled.
"Don't you mean 'Crown him'?" my mother enquired mildly.
"Oh no!" Trisha insisted, " And I know I'm right, 'cos I go to Sunday school"
Sunday school was at a Baptist Church, but somehow I don't think that full-immersion adult baptism was the source of the confusion!!1 -
