Hold me closer Tony Danza

[Tiamat]

So there you are driving around in your car hanging out with your friends jammin' down to the radio singing your heart out only to have your friends start laughing their a$$es off cause you got the words so wrong?

Sir Elton would be rolling in his grave if he was dead when Hold me closer Tiny Dancer turned into Tony Danza up at work one day. One of the waiters where I used to work kept going around singing the Tony Danza version. When we finally quit laughing at him somone took pity on him and told him the right words. Ever been that far off on lyrics?

I guess he never saw that episode of "Friends".

Wikipedia has an article on this phenomenon, which it calls "mondegreens" after one of the first recorded instances. I especially like how some people thought Donald Duck called Daffy a "goddamned stupid ******" in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."

To tell on myself I always thought for the longest that Van Halen's Jamie's Crying was Janie's crying course I was thinking that cause Janie is my real name, then I got corrected.

The Black Crowes "Twice as Hard" was re-written as "Time says Pappa". Whenever I hear that song on the radio I sing the re-written version (sing being relative).

I didn't know half the words to Layla, including the title and all the times the name is repeated, until Clapton did the unplugged version.

The best one I ever heard was:

Lord it's hard to find nice things...on a four-sided cow.

www.Kissthisguy.com is a website to misheard lyrics. The name of the site is from someone who heard a song called Kiss the sky, but didn't get the lyrics right

[Asher]

That's from Purple Haze ("'scuze me, while I kiss the sky" duhduhDUH duhduhDUH etc)
