Manfred Mann has a lisp so it actually does sound like douche. Plus his version changed the lyric from “cut loose like a deuce” in the original Springsteen version so the rhyme there is gone too.

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."

Takin' care of blisters, and working overtime

(What? Made sense to young me, hearing it on scratchy radio. The guy's been working overtime, of course he's got blisters.)

One that I actually heard properly, but since my husband sings it this way, I can't un-hear it, is "therrrrre's a bathroom/on the right"

I think it was this thread that taught me that it's not "just like the one-winged dove", but a "white-winged dove". Even though I know it now, still can't train my brain to hear it right.

It’s actually a “right-wing dove”; in the song she’s singing about a hardline conservative with a non-interventionist foreign policy streak.

They've deliberately sung it that way live, before. Also Hendrix, with "scuse me while I kiss this guy".

A friend of mine was convinced that the line in "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls was "wanna suck his dick, ah" rather than "wanna zig a zig, ah." I still hear it both ways because of him.

vvv He totally would be that guy.

I was convinced that it went "if you wanna be my lover, you gotta get rid of my friends" which I thought was a real horrible way to treat your friends.

I had only ever heard 'get with' to imply hookups/dating, so I was still horribly confused despite hearing the lyrics correctly. Polyamorous propaganda for preteen girls??

:yossame:

The Refreshments - Banditos, I used to think the line was “...cause he will speak English anywhere.” Actual lyric is “Well, give your ID card to the border guard. Yeah, your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard Of the United Federation Of Planets cause he won't speak English anyway.”
