    At work we have a radio playing & they played "The harder I try" by Brother Beyond. I had to do a double take as I thought they were singing

    The harder I try (Ooohooohooohooohooo)
    The further away from me it's slipping
    I`m going shagging (Ooohooo) to make you love me
    (Love me, love me, love me)

    & couldn`t believe what I thought I heard. I ended up looking it up & it turns out its

    The harder I try (Ooohooohooohooohooo)
    The further away from me it's slipping
    I go on trying (Ooohooo) to make you love me
    (Love me, love me, love me)

    Have you ever misheard a lyric & been convinced that your version was the correct one?

    Neil Diamond - Forever in Blue Jeans

    Money talks
    But it don't sing and dance
    And it don't walk
    And long as I can have you here with me
    I'd much rather be
    Reverend Blue Jeans

    it sounded weird, but I thought who was I to question Neil ?? It should have been - Forever in blue jeans

    There is of course the classic from Jimmy Hendix - Purple haze....
    'Acting funny, but i don't know why,,,,,, excuse me while i kiss this guy''
    but actually reads ------- while i kiss the sky

    Also for years i thought Louis Armstrong, in the song What a Wonderful World sang.....
    ''Bright blessed day,,,,,, Dogs say good night''
    but is of course -------- ''Dark Sacred Night''

    I still like the images of my neighbours dogs barking at each other at 1am and that they were saying goodnight.. lol..

    Just found this site with loads of them on - some classics too!

    If you're at work or in a public library :laugh: , you may want to turn your speakers down, as there's a really annoying intro at the beginning...
