Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter...one of my favorite songs, but I have no idea what the fuck he's saying & I never bothered to look it up for a while.  When I finally did (since I'm not a big PJ fan), I read that EV likes to change the lyrics when they perform it live & there are multiple version.  Oh well, as long as it never shows up on a karaoke machine I'll be safe just singing the wrong words in my car by myself.

The worst ever was I took one of my friends to a NIN concert and he was singing " Tell a Lie, Tell a lie" instead of " Terrible Lie, Terrible Lie" It was awful.

Just remembered on tonight. When I'd hear Cult of Personality, the part near the end where they say "I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of" always sounded like "I ate a pork chop, I ate a pork chop".

To feed off your post Lleeder I had a friend who started singing that NIN song and was yelling "DEAD OR ALIVE....why are you doing this to me?...DEAD OR ALIVE!"
My friend and I turned to him and said- "Dude- the name of the song is Terrible Lie...How can you fuck that up?"

The one that to this day I cant figure out is a song that is constantly played on classic rock type stations...I dont know the name of the song or the artist but when I post/sing the the lysics you'll know what song Im talking about....OK...Here it goes...

"Blinded by the light...Lit up like a douche in the middle of the night...Blinded by the light...lit up like a douche in the middle of the night"

I know he isnt singing "douche" but I cant figure out what else it could be.

Blinded By The Light

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"

There is one song that was ruined for me by a friend...if you are a White Stripes fan do not read the rest of this post....

In the song 7 Nation Army there is a lyric in the song that goes... "Make the sweat drip out of every pour"
A friend of mine thought they were saying "(N-word) sweat drip from every poor"

To this day that's all I hear.

"Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring is a great song, but the chorus is almost unintelligible.

Until I learned the lyrics, I would sing "Help I'm slipping into the Twilight Zone; get into the house, I feel like being blown."

Of course the real lyrics are: "Help I'm slipping into the Twilight Zone; this is a madhouse; feels like being cloned."
