My brother would walk around singing "Secret Asian Man" to the tune of Secret Agent Man.I let him do it for 30 years still cracks me up.

I did that, too.

One last song--not an incorrect lyric...but an "added one"...

In middle school they would play this at school dances all the time...and 3 middle schools...the SAME thing would happen.

It is DIS inappropriate so I can't type it...

But the song is "Moni, Moni" (spelling?)

Whatever the lyric is....

".....say moni moni"

And then an entire gym or cafeteria full of middle schoolers would add...

"hey everybody get ______ get _______"

such naughty naughty pre-teens. I just cannot listen to that song without my brain automatically inserting the "extra verse". So I don't listen to it.

Same thing at karaoke! But it's funny and almost a tradition if someone sings that song

My most infamous mess up is a song called "Dust on the Bottle" by David Lee Murphy. Not only did I flub the lyrics, but the title and actually in my mind created a whole new story to the song.

TOTALLY forgot about that song! One of my friends in HS thought it was "Dust on Bible"

" My wienie's wet, my wienie's wet"

My poor coworkers practically busted a gut howling with laughter. They were literally on the floor.

1 - now I can't get the refrain out of myhead, and
2 - I will NEVER listen to this the same way again!!!

RE: the Lion Sleeps Tonight-

I used to sing "Window Wiper,Window Wiper, Window Wiper,Window Wiper,Window Wiper,Window Wiper...."

Right line from Billy Joel song: I thought I was the Duke of Earl when I made it with a red-head girl in a cheverolet

As a kid I heard: I though it was the kookaburra when I made it to a redhead girl...

We had just learned some silly folk song in school that was like "kookaburra sit on an old gum tree, merry merry king of the bush is he..." So I thought it was the same word!

The all time classic from my era: "bathroom on the right" for "bad moon on the rise". (Crredance Cleerwater? I think)

OMG! I thought the same thing as a kid. I remember we were driving somewhere for summer vacation, and I guess I was used to looking for rest stops along the way because I was singing along "There's a bathroom on the right!" My parents almost died laughing!
