What lyrics have you misheard and sung wrong for a long time?

As a child, I heard the Carmen Miranda song Mama Yo Quero in an episode of Tom & Jerry, and I misheard the lyrics as "Mama yo quero, mama yo quero mama, and Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper is the American way."

In and around the lake, [mollusks] come out of the sky and they stand there.

@SW-User That’s a first for me! Jon’s lyrics are…out there to say the least. But mollusks? That made me enjoy a good hard laugh! Thank you. 😊

@stratosranger good! 😅 i was fully grown when i finally heard it correctly, and then suddenly it was proper poetry.

i just accepted that it was plausible, being there was a lake and all, and mollusks don't move around much.
@SW-User …or that it was the early 70’s and the acid was better back in those days…😝

@stratosranger i was just a kiddo at the time, and the song had been out for awhile. i was trying to learn to play the intro on my guitar.

my first psychedelic experience was with mescaline at Disney World while in college in the early 90's. i heard about how pure the LSD was back in the 60's and 70's, though! 😊
Wow! Never tried mescaline. Mushrooms yes. At Disney? 😆 That’s brave. I do recall suggesting we go see Who Framed Roger Rabbit while on the shrooms and was voted down. Which was fine. Seeing people become walking/talking vegetables was even better. 😆@SW-User

@stratosranger mescaline's so gentle and lovely, nice smoooooth come down, no resultant temporary depression. just sublime. btw, that was my only trip to Disney, so i may have a seriously skewed view of how magical that kingdom is, really. ;) almost tried shrooms once, but i was already slap-sprung-to-the-curb on cherry vodka, so i passed on the opportunity.
Good call. I would not mix dis with dat. Things tend to splat. @SW-User

@stratosranger you should be writing PSA's, my dude. 😅
@SW-User You should have seen what I started doing to the Grinch Who Stole Christmas…(rated X). It was a choice between Horton Hires A Ho, Fox In Detox or The Grinch’s Ten Inches and another lady on here challenged me to tackle the Grinch….😆

@stratosranger you're a mutha'fuckin' genius, and i am not even lying. 🤣 copy pasta'ing this to my bro immediately!
@SW-User Go for it. I’d never try publishing this. I can just imagine the whole Suess cabal screaming at my door and firing lawyers through my windows
SW-User
@stratosranger parodies sometimes get approved, but yeah... Suess and Co., i don't see it happening. i just know my brother will have the best night just to read your words, giving you full credit of course. ☺️
Let me know if he likes it @SW-User
SW-User
@stratosranger he loved it! multiple laughing emojis... and then called and sang it to me! 😂 it was a lovely sibling bonding moment. thank you!
@SW-User LOL! Great! I am glad it made you both laugh. Next time the caffeine gets my brain bent I’ll try to write more of it.

@stratosranger don't be shy about sharing it with me when you do... you're truly gifted at it. it's almost like i've found another brother from another mother. 🤗
