In Blue Swede's 1974 version of "Hooked On A Feeling" I thought the lyric was "Got A Fart From You Girl" instead of "Got A Bug From You Girl"
I was 11 at the time so I thought that was hilarious.

Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" - "Last night I dreamt of some bagels"
Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55" - "They take my glasses / Oh, that's jive!"

Hearing the song on last week's show reminded me that in the outro of "That's What Friends Are For," I used to think Elton John was singing "I don't mean for sure... I don't mean for sure," which I thought at the time was kind of mean.  |

Note to self - 62 years late, but anyway -
It's not "he's dancin' with the chicken slats" - it's "he's dancin' with the chick in slacks".
I thought it was a girl with really skinny legs like the Joe Tex one - thin legs like those of a chicken. Of course, maybe she had really skinny chicken legs in addition to wearing slacks, so...
But chickens don't have skinny legs, do they? If they did where would drumsticks come from? Why did I never think of that?
First impressions are so important. "Chicken Slats". I don't think I have enough time left to reprogram this in my brain.

I don't mean for sure," which I thought at the time was kind of mean. And then Elton says "yeah" right after Stevie says "that's what friends are for" at the end of the song. I always thought it sounded like sarcasm when Elton said that. Like "yeah...right, Stevie! Keep dreaming!" Maybe the whole song (or that particular recording of it) was meant to be sarcastic, like Kiss On My List. Or maybe Elton took it that way, mistakenly. Or maybe he was cleverly undermining the good intention of the song. Or maybe Elton was serving a contradictory role, as John did on Revolution I with the "count me out...in" |

Someone called Opie and Anthony about 15 years ago, pointing out that it sounds like Brenda Lee is singing "later we'll have some (f-in) pie and we'll do some caroling".
And it does!
It's like the Subliminal Seduction in the magazine ads 50 years ago. Once your brain buys into it, it's very real. It's like conspiracy theories and things like that. It's a fascinating thing. Manchurian Candidate territory.

In "Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting," I was positive Elton sang "I've had it with your Death Star plans" instead of "I've had it with your discipline."

Another one. There's a line in "She Blinded Me With Science" that goes "Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto, you're beautiful." I thought it was "Good heavens, Miss South America...."
