It's usually a great disappointment when you read the lyric sheet of an album and discover the real words for the first time. Yours were usually better despite them not making any sense.
It's a bit like when you discovered that the theme-tune to Only Fools and Horses wasn't sung by Nicholas Lyndhurst.
My favourite misheard lyrics are:
• Apology Accepted by The Go-Betweens:
"Too proud to hang my head
In shame beside your
big butt."
• Fast Cars by the BuzZcocks: "Sooner or later, you're going to listen to Darth Vader"
• Naïvely thinking that the P.W.E.I. 'classic' was called something more innocent than it's actual title, Beaver Patrol.
In the Indie clubs of my youth, I'd yell "Vivaaaa Controllll!!!" Only years later would I realize my error, an error I'm actually quite proud of now.
My mind has gone blank for more examples. Would be nice to have a contest and find the best!
