Ok.....admit it.....I can't be the only one who gets lyrics wrong...I just realised that John Denver's song "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" says...I got me a farm wife" ( I think).....I thought it said .."I got me a farm LIFE"

and for years I thought The Turtles in "Groovin"...said "You and me and Leslie"...heck yes..I thought it was about a 3-some for years......

Come on......admit it!!!

Groovin' was the Young Rascals.

And John Denver's song says,
"got me a fine wife
got my ole fiddle
sun comin' up
I got cakes on the griddle
life ain't nuthin' but a
funny, funny riddle

Thank god I'm a country boy"

I thought the lyrics to Boston's song "More than a feeling" were "Bored on a feeling."

I joined my church junior choir in 1st grade after everyone had learned the lyrics to "go tell it on the mountain".

I stood up there singing "goat tailed on a mountain".

Don't ask me...

I take a word or several words and try to make other words using any selection of the letters in the same order.
Example: Please Flush
has many words like: lush, us, lease, ease, pea, leaf, etc.

That's cool, Slim! I do play games with words in my mind. Mostly lining up the rhythm of certain phrases with other word groups or sound alike resulting in puns (some very smelly ones too!)

I don't have any trouble understanding the lyrics on any of David Allen Coe's songs on his Adults Only LP.

My sister, when little, thought that the words to "Away in a Manger" included
"The little lone ranger lay down where he lay"

and my neice said the Lord's Prayer as
"Our Father who art in Heaven, Howard be thy name".

We still thank Howard for many things.
