Years ago (ok, decades), I was going somewhere with my girlfriends when the Eagles song, Heartache Tonight, came on the radio. So I'm there in the back seat, singing along: "There's gonna be a party tonight, a party tonight, I know." When one of the girls in the front seat turns around and says, disgustedly, "It's heartache. Not par-tay. It's a heartache tonight." Ok, so now I know. But I still think my version makes more sense with the lyrics than heartache does. Some people like to stay out late Some folks can't hold out that long But nobody wants to go home now. there's too much goin' on. This night is gonna last forever. Last all, last all summer long. Some time before the sun comes up The radio is gonna play that song. There's gonna be a heartache tonight, A heartache tonight, I know.

Oh - and as a little kid, when I sang the A-B-C's ... I always grouped L-M-N-O into one word -- "ellemeno", so I would sing: "H-I-J-K- elemeno - P"

There's an old song called "he aint heavy, he's my brother" and I worked with a Tongan guy who would sing it at the top of his voice "Ian Harvey, he's my broker" - he honestly did not know it was wrong.

Ok - this isn't one from a book or anything, it's my own personal experience -
Song - Daughter Artist - Pearl Jam
The Lyric - "center of her own attention.."
I heard - "center of a rhododendron..."
Never made a damn bit of sense to me, but I always just figured Eddie was trying to be symbolic.

When my friends and I listen to A Stranger by A Perfect Circle we always sing "I f*cked a tomato" instead of "you f'ing tornado." Listen to it. I swear that is what he is saying. :)

When White Lion first released "Wait", I thought he was actually singing "Wayne" for about three weeks.
"Wayne...Wayne...I never had a chance without you..."
