    When I was a teenager I "transcribed" the Hotel California lyric for my band. This was before the internet, you know, and I didn't have the album with the lyrics to the title track yet. Plus I'm Finnish, so....
    There were some hilarious bits. I thought "we are programmed to receive" was "go back to your seat" with some mumbling before it (as I couldn't make out the "we are" bit). "The pink champagne on ice" I heard as "they drink champagne on ice". I'm glad I don't remember how I heard "colitas"!
    Reminds me of a hilarious transcription I made with a friend of mine of Lady In Black by Uriah Heep. We didn't have a clue what was sung most of the time, so occasionally we deliberately came up with our own bits. "My labour is no easier" was changed to "my neighbour is no easy one" by my friend!

    When I lived in Saudi Arabia, we couldn't buy rock'n'roll music or any American music. It was illegal, outlawed by the religious police. However, you could easily obtain copies of tapes on the black market. These copies would include lyrics typed up by the Saudis who were selling the cassettes. You can imagine how off-base they were! I think the most egregious was their attempt to transcribe the lyrics to Fine Young Cannibal's "Wild Wild West" - but that's another thread.

    Just listening to "Long Road Out of Eden" the other day and I remember when I first heard it, I thought "Far away and fast asleep" was "Far away, the master sleeps" (ie, a dig at Bush).

    I still think of 'far away and fast asleep', even though I know the real lyric!

    I thought of one the other day, when I was listening to Tequila Sunrise in the car. Maybe it's Glenn's accent, but I always hear the first couple of lines as: "It's another tequila sunrise, stirrin' slowly across the sky" instead of "starin'". A sunrise stirring across the sky sort of makes some poetic sense to me!

    Here's another thing I've been meaning to ask about... In Best of My Love, when Don sings "but the words come out too rough", I swear he puts a "k" sound on the end so it comes out like "ruck". It's really weird! You may have to listen to it loud or on headphones to catch it, but I've always noticed it (and I listen to that song A LOT...) Any ideas?? Please tell me I'm not imagining it!

    You're not. FINALLY, after all these years, I have found someone else who hears that. Wow. I've never understood why it happens and I've always heard it at normal volume.

    Yes! It's really odd... It's definitely there, and I have no idea why. Unless it was one of those weird throat noises that happens sometimes and they didn't catch it/didn't have the time or energy to edit it out. lol. Who knows!
