Default Commonly Misheard Song Lyrics

Driving along too lazy to change the station a song comes on Classic Rock station that I've heard a million times before by with lyrics that sound like "wrecked up like a douche" (Manfred Mann's Earth Band: Blinded by the Light). For a change I decide not to be lazy and look it up and apparently the actual lyrics are "Revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night" about a young boy persuaded to be a drug runner because he's blinded by the glorious lifestyle.

Passing it along in case you couldn't go another day without knowing that. [8D]

YES - "Owner of a lonely heart"

How about:
"Get off your bikes and ride!"

also,
"Come on baby, don't fear the reefer"

"Bingo jet had a light on" which is supposed to be "big ol' jet airliner"

When my sone was about three or so, he used to sing alternate lyrics to "Dude looks like a lady". They were "Duke is like a laven"...so cute!
