  2. My ex-fiancee used to think that Alice in Chains’ “Man in the Box” lyric screamed “Jesus Christ” was “Change the skies” and that Days of the New’s song “Touch, Peel, Stand” had a lyric that said “You are the one, two, one two” instead of “You are the one to abuse”.

  3. “Wrapped up like a douche in the middle of night” and “don’t fear the reefer” and “there’s a bathroom on the right” were always my faves. :)

  4. I had never heard the “hold me closer Tony Danza” mishap. That song is forever changed to me now.

  5. “Wrapped up like a douche in the middle of night”

    I long thought it was “revved up like a deuce in the schooner in the night,” though knowing all along that couldn’t possibly be right.

    Turns out it’s a song about a game of baseball.

  7. I was forever confused about why Tina Turner kept asking Dr. Doolittle for love advice. You know, as in, “What’s love? Dr. Doo, Dr. Doolittle?”
