Lennon's "Mind Games." When I was a kid, I always thought it was, "Keep on playing those nightingales forever," although I had no idea what that meant.

It's actually, "We're playing those mind games together."

To this day, I still hear the incorrect lyrics and I have to remind myself.

A sincere compliment to the contributors of this post! I so needed a good laugh! Well done!

Here are mine:
In first grade I belted out: "cows and horses eat potatoes with their uncle Charlie!"

Real lyrics: cows and horses eat potatoes with their oats and barley.


Tune : Lady in Red.
Thought he sang : Ladys a sped . ( sped was a derogatory term back in the 80's,)

Tune: R.O.C.K in the USA!

Thought for years they were saying: I Love CK in the USA! ( translated: I thought they meant Calvin Klein the designer) .

It was only a couple days later when I learned the correct lyrics. I had excitedly told my best friend that there was a song about her. I heard the the chorus as,

Jane, Jane hold the ladder steady
Jane, Jane, I'm packed tonight I'm ready
Jane, Jane, hold the ladder steady
I'm a'comin' down to youir ar-ar-ar-rms
I'm a'comin' down to your arms.

An ol' 1962 tune sung by Sue Thompson, (yeah, I listen to 'oldies').

To my great embarrassment, Sue was singing about "James", not "Jane".

p.s. I have not told my Jane yet. Hopefully she'll forget all about it.
