Not knowing the title of the song from Smokey and the Bandit, I'd always misheard the first line as, "He's bound to die..."

Re: Misheard Lyrics
Aimee Mann would be one of my top 5 artists/groups.
Lost in Space in my favourite Aimee Mann album
High on Sunday 51 is one of my favourite songs on Lost in Space
Yesterday I found out that she is singing:
Do I fall through what I might have been?
and not
To rifle through what I might have been
I've listened to this song hundreds of times over 19 years.
<mind blown>

Yep - I wonder how many other lyrics I'm certain I know but am wrong about. My proud record of catching them before 20 years is still intact for now.Olaf wrote: ↑29 Jun 2020, 11:17amHa!

I thought the Moody Blues "Ride My See-Saw" was Ride, Icy Soul.

I can assure you it's not:

But I wish it was.

Still my all time fave has to be "Michael's mad at me".
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.

Sister Sledge - He's the Greatest Dancer
I just found out that the main part goes:
Oh what, wow, he's the greatest dancer
And not:
I wonder why he's the greatest dancer
I always thought it was a silly question... you clearly have to spend hours practicing to get to the position of 'greatest dancer' but now it makes more sense.
