  ahahaah classic! I just love when someone like my super sensitive close friend is so dedicated to their version that they won't listen to reason. We almost came to blows over green day's "another turning point ,a fork stuck the road".His," a four stuck in a rut" . Made perfect sense he said. it matched the scene in last episode of Seinfeld ( all 4 sitting in jail) pointed out probs not specifically written for the scene???!Edited 26-Sep-22 21:13pm

Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London"... "And his hair was perfect" I always thought was "and his hair was purple". Which, these days, it could very well be.

1976 - AC/DC - Long way to the top (if you wanna rock 'n' roll) As Aussie school kids we changed that to - Long way to the shop (if you wanna chicko roll) To non-Aussie's out there in Rewardialand - chicko roll is an Aussie chicken savoury snack invented in 1951 (which actually didn't contain chicken!)Edited 26-Sep-22 08:06am

	We've all been there, certain for years that we had the words of our favourite tunes impressed into our musical memory . Deep in the corners of our oh ,so imaginative minds,we thought yeah , I got this down.! ... but then you got the actual album and read the inserts , or nowadays can read the lyrics at a mere tap of a finger and even get the meaning (thanku internet).like wow unheard of ! I came across a classic one the other day on twitter .a parent overheard their 8 yr old quietly singing to himself "Dancing queen ,young and sweet Only seven teeth" Really puts a whole new imagery on the song I thought! Would love to know your experiences Cos music makes this Lil world go round :)
