I have heard the Louis Armstrong version of it many times and have been getting the words wrong all this time!

I heard it sung slower in that MCI commercial...when the words go "And the dawn's sacred night.."

I thought it was "And the dogs say goodnight!" That's what Louie sounded like he was singing... LOL But then this ad cleared that up....I laugh so much whenever that MCI commercial is on now!

I can't be the ONLY one who had made that mistake...
 
I thought that old Beatle's song with the lyrics, "there's a kind of hush all over the world tonight" was actually "there's a can of fish all over the world tonight". I was singing it in the car one day and my mom nearly drove off the road laughing.

All together now...."there's a can of fish.....all over the world.....tonight!":teeth:
 
Stephanie!!!!! THat is NOT a Beatles song. It may be either Jerry and the Pace Makers or Herman's Hermits. Definately not the Beatles. (My DH would faint if he heard this balsphemy! (JK!!!!)

How is your little princess? And best of luck on the interview tomorrow. You know it will be a not to good all the time job, but the full time benefits will be a huge help for you and the princess.
 
I hope you will both excuse me for this, but I fear you may both still be misinformed...

GoofyGirl, I think the lyric is actually "...the dark, sacred night."

Stephanie, I believe that was actually Herman's Hermits; I'm certain it's not the Beatles

If I'm wrong, please correct me and forgive me for butting in :)

BTW, there is a really cool sight, www.kissthisguy.com all about misheard and misunderstood song lyrics. It's fun to read some of the things that people think there
 

LOL....well, there you go. :blush: I thought the Beatles were singing about a can of fish. Turns out I was wrong all arounf! LOL!! :)

Thanks much on the well wishes for tomorrow! Will update you after I get home :) Miss Maddy is doing great...she "graduated" today to the next level at Kindercare...she's no longer "the big kid" in her class :)

Yep, just told my dad the same thing last night......only I figured it out a few years ago. Thought I was the only one.
 
With some authority, the song in question is by Herman's Hermits, not the Beatles:D
