I have heard this song for at least twenty years, probably more. I have sung it, hummed it, thumped it out on my dashboard, enjoyed it. Thoroughly - all these years. And all these years...I have sung it wrong! I have heard of people who do this, I have even corrected several who have done it to other songs...but I tell you - I was blown away by the fact that I had been wrong.
Sure, you are dying to know the song aren't you? You all probably already know this, you will laugh at me I know...but be kind, remember, my birthday is next week -- I am old and getting older.
For years I have sung along to a song by the Marshall Tucker Band, the phrase... "purty little love song, can't be wrong!" The real words.... "HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG, can't be wrong!!" I feel so silly -- I wonder how loudly I have done this and where all I have been singing this -- I am sure many people have laughed at me. I laughed at myself this morning. I must have really thought that Southern rock band had a real Southern accent -- "purty" -- not even "pretty" -- PURTY!! So funny to me now, so funny.
Well, here it is... go and listen for yourself...
Have you ever done that - gotten lyrics COMPLETELY wrong? Share - don't let me feel so alone and silly!!!
Living Happily in the Moment....Cause I Heard it in a love song!!!

Tragedy--by the Bee Gees. If anyone was paying attention they'd here me singing, "Hercules". Did I wonder why they were singing a song about Hercules? Yes--it did cross my mind--but not long enough to make me think I may be singing the wrong lyrics!
Just recently, two friends and I all admitted there was a phrase in the Journey song, "Dont Stop Beleiveing" that we just kind of mumbled through with what we thought the lyrics were. So, we googled it and found out he is saying, "Livin' just to find emotion". I thought it was something about full devotion.
And--is there anyone who has ever figured out for sure What they are singing in "Blinded by the Light" and what it means??? Even when I have googled it I have found the lyrics to be different on different sites.
OK--one more. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. When they were saing ".....done dirt...." I could have sworn they were saying something about the tundra. Again--why were they singing about the tundra?? Who knows---but they were! : )
I'm sure there are many more. I just cant think of them right now!
