Post your fave Stevie mis-heard lyrics. Farting with the angel is always a plus!!

oh I've got a million of 'em...

but let's go back to the 70's...
I was driving cross-country w/ my uncle & Dreams was #1, so everytime it came on, I made him turn it up..
He said. "What's this stupidity you're listening to??""
I said "WHAAAAT???!!"
He said "wash your ha-nds, and wash your nose"

I also worked w/ a girl who swore Stevie said
"When Lorraine washs you clean you'll know"

When "Stand Back" comes on, I usually sing "TAMPAX, TAMPAX".

Mine are from the Dance because there was no lyrics sheet and it was my intro to Fleetwood Mac. The first one is the only funny one, really.

Sweet Girl (also applicable to Angel): "Traffic goes through a fog."

Sweet Girl: "Everyone said I'd never love."

My Little Demon: "Big or little, yeah I wanna take you home." (I hoped he was not shallow.

)

Silver Springs: "You're shining on the ocean crashing."

I'm So Afraid: "I've had this hole in my heart too long."

Bleed to Love Her: "If this hope is gonna turn out right."

Now if we include the GOS demos in this, as compared to what the lyrics sheet said in SYW... now THAT would be embarassing. lol

That's how I heard it, too! LOL!

I know I have a few more, but I can't think of them at the moment. Maybe after work....

I always thought the opening line to Gold And Braid was "Though you'd send some old shadows" instead of "Though deep set, somewhat shadowed, her eyes, her mystery"

And the line in Rhiannon that goes "Once in a million years a lady like her rises", I used to think she said "Wants to feel in the years alone like her rising"

I thought it was "Cry out loud for frozen love"

Until someone said otherwise, I thought she was saying "that plain plain beauty again" at the end of "Seven Wonders," though I realize that doesn't make a whole lot of sense

I played "Stand Back" while studying for American history once and now I think "Stamp Act! Stamp Act!" when I hear it

Oh! I just remembered a funny one! I used to think Lindsey was singing, "I didn't want to be this lame" in "Not That Funny." I still think it could apply.

In Greta, this verse goes...

She's got her bags packed...
And she's off to the valley where the
sun meets the sea
You understand that
She wants to live by the ocean...
And no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains...
The next day...
the next day she leaves the station

and this is how parts of it sound to me...

She's got her bags packed...
And she's off to the valley weather
sun eats the sea
You understand that
She wants to live by the ocean...
And no one has cheese
She gets a helmet in the mountains...
The next day...
the next day she leaves the station

When i looked on the Nicksfix, and realized what the right lyrics where, it was just too funny!!

lol, one time I was singing along with Seven Wonders while driving home from work, and out of the blue I sang "...the denseless beauty" on that part. For a split second I just kind of had this look on my face like, "Denseless?! Where the heck did THAT come from??"
