misunderstood Stevie lyrics! :)

[SummerlongBoots]

OMG I will probably regret posting this.

It's not so much "misheard" because I know they lyrics, but my brain "inserts" words and I cannot control it, lol. Like in Sisters Of The Moon;

And so I followed
As friends often do

SWALLOWED!

WHY must my brain insert swallowed?

Sigh.

And she sings "Sara" in between.I thought she was singing "Tara".lol

Edit: She might be singing Tara,actually. This has been debated before.

Actually its "Aaron"..."Seven Wonders" was originally called "Aaron" written by Sandy Stewart...i KNO conformation of this is on this the ledge somewhere because i thought it also said "Tara" until i read this...i think it makes it very interesting

Another misheard lyric my niece would sing from "Imperial Hotel"...

"Well you can get her, but you can't keep her...and you can't catch her farts..."

[pryderi]

Seven Wonders "Well, you are a sorry butt"

Sometimes it's a Bitch - I laid down with dogs and I woke up with lice.

ahahaha! Oh man...these are some good ones. They made me laugh so hard I almost spit out my coffee!

Three more that I got confused:

SDMHA
What I heard "Make an innocent bright-eyed kid"
I thought it was just a random line that was put in there because it didn't go anywhere. Then I thought I was mishearing the word "make" and that maybe it was "like" which made more sense combined with the lines before and after it; "Ain't got nothing better to do. Like an innocent bright-eyed kid, You need someone looking after you!"

What she says "Than make a meal of some bright-eyed kid"

IDWK
What I heard "I don't wanna know the reasons why I love yOOooouu right on walkin on down the line"

Instead of "I don't wanna know the reasons why love keeps right on walkin on down the line"

Outside The Rain
What I heard " Love is a word that some entertain and, if you find it, you better ruUUuun and GET IT!"

Instead of " Love is a word that some entertain, if you find it, you have won the game"

STAND BACK
"Do not turn away my friend...black widow, I can bend!"

TALK TO ME
"Well I showed you all my GODS now isn't that enough?"

RHIANNON
do do do, do do do do..."Leannaaaaaaaaa..."

EDGE OF 17
"Just like the one we love, sings a song sounds like she's SAYIN'..."

ROOMS ON FIRE
"...it seemed to be the only thing that's drivin' the light..."

My best friend Chris recently told me he went for many years thinking she was singing...

DREAMS (this one's naughty)
"...when the rain washes, you cream your load..."

SORCERER
"Little woman on a star stream...in the middle of a snow drift..."

And finally, when SYW came out, my neice was 9 years old and would sing along...

GOODBYE BABY (this one's my favorite)
"I hope your heart's not broken, don't forget me...yes, I was out smokin'..."

What about you guys? Any funny things that you'd sing thinking it was the real lyric?

My name is Leanna. My mom used to change the song to Leanna and sing it to me as a lullaby and so I thought the same that's what she was really saying
