I messed up Aerosmith's Dream On for far too long in my youth

Sing women (with me), sing for the year
Sing for the laughter sing for the fear (tear)

My mother always tells me about when I was little, talking 4 years old here, that I would run around in the nude and sing " Save big money at my Nards " while ummm... making obscene gestures with anatomy.
OK, that made me chuckle.

Baking carrot biscuits, every day!
Baking carrot biscuits, every way!
Baking carrot biscuits, it's all mine!
Baking carrot biscuits and working overtime

It took me a VERY long time to notice the hooks are all different in Hard to Handle by the Black Crowes.

Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Boys will come along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little babe, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around
Maybe he just couldn’t remember the actual lyrics and made em up every verse.

One I messed up as a kid when my dad had the oldies on was "Judy in disguise".

"Judy in disguise, with glasses"

Judy in the skies, molasses.

Not song lyrics but I recently realized I have been spelling these two things in a professional setting...

- Spelling "fog" as "phog" because of my Big 12 basketball fandom
- Spelling "mist" as "myst" interchangeably half of my life because of being a video game nerd

Just hearing Proud Mary reminded me.

I always thought it was:

"Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans" where 'tane was an abbreviation of octane. Meaning he worked at a filling station pumping gas.
