We are sharing our #MistakenLyrics for #TuneTuesday. I was a kid in the 1980s, and this song was constantly on the radio. Back then, I swore they were singing "We milked this city." I REFUSED to be corrected by my parents 😂 I blame the poor speakers and the dairy industry influence on my young mind because I don't hear it like that now. (Also I discovered Jefferson Airplane later and it's hard to believe this is the same band 😬) Starship - We Built This City https://song.link/y/IDI2WQJyE7I

The #TuneTuesday prompt for today is #MistakenLyrics and I'm drawing a blank. That said, I've never been able to sort out what's being said on the fourth line of "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie–for a long time I would just fit in the name of the Icelandic volcano famous for disrupting air travel, so Pressure Pushing down on me, Pushing down on you, Eyjafjallajökull Apparently it's Pressure Pushing down on me, Pushing down on you, No man ask for Anyways, enjoy!

#tunetuesday #mistakenlyrics i really had to go through the rolodex for this one because i havent thought about this band (or listened to them) for at least 20 years....i also dont have any of my hardcore records anymore so i only had my memory to go on. anyways, the beginning of this song sounds like "it was a puppy dog" and i havent made an effort to find the actual lyrics because i like to think the song is about puppies (which it is not). eyelid - abami https://youtu.be/19BfPj1w9U8

I've heard several mondegreens for different lines in the chorus of Boston's "More Than a Feeling", but mine was always the second line. The correct lyrics are: "It's more than a feeling (More than a feeling) When I hear that old song they used to play (More than a feeling) And I begin dreaming (More than a feeling) 'Til I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walkin' away" But my brain changed "When I hear that old song they used to play" to "When I heard that old song yesterday". I must have sung it that way for decades before I happened to look at the lyrics. Boston, "More Than a Feeling" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4QK8RxCAwo (Incidentally, after watching this video I am convinced that Tom Scholz was an early pioneer of the Shoegaze movement) #TuneTuesday #MistakenLyrics

#TuneTuesday #MistakenLyrics I cant claim this one. It's funny so sharing The Beatles - Ticket to Ride https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyNt5zm3U_M The lyric: She's got a ticket to ride but she don't care The mondegreen: She's got a chicken to ride it's in my hair

#TuneTuesday #MistakenLyrics I always hated the song "The Ketchup Song (Aserejé)" by Las Ketchup until I learned it's about a guy singing a song passionately but wrong on the dancefloor. It's a nice silly story and we all do it. With my friends it's only a good party if my sister storms the dancefloor singing "whacka maka bone" instead of "rock the microphone" when "Freestyler" by Boomfunk MC is playing. 🤣 Btw the song in Aserejé is "Rapper's Delight" 🤯
