Did I hear that right? (Misheard lyrics)

[Prettymaid]

I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I love stuff like that!

[Outlawman13]

I've heard that before (in my earphones) and had to ask myself if I was hearing that correctly. I love hearing it.

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!

Nope, I hear it too. You're not crazy !!

Wow...I just listened to the song with my headphones on...and yepper...I hear it too...can't believe I've been listening to this song for how long now?...38 years and never heard that before...amazing...

Okay, just read this thread while on a coffee break. Very cool.

Have you ever had a case where you know you're hearing a lyric incorrectly but your brain refuses to accept it? When I was a kid I always heard "There's gonna be a party tonight, a party tonight, I know" when Heartache Tonight was playing... To my young mind it made sense... Fast, upbeat sounding song, party... Cool.

To this day, I STILL cannot unhear party tonight... My brain just won't hear heartache tonight... Sad but true!

I know what you mean, SJ. I guess it's hard for us to untrain our brains of something we heard ( or in this case thought we heard ) over and over, especially when it is put to music.

Oh, and for the record, I hear 'ruck'. What the ?

In New York Minute I always heard "You better hang on to their neck" instead of "You better hang on tooth and nail"

Anybody else heard the same?

[sodascouts]

Not I, but I have had that phenomenon occur before! I still sometimes sing "When it comes down to bein' friends" at the end of Tequila Sunrise, for instance.

Oh yes, I think we've all been there. For years I didn't know the lyric in HC was "Tiffany twisted." I thought it was "definitely twisted." I still catch myself singing that sometimes without thinking. There's tons of other songs my other artists I do that with too. Especially if it was a song from my childhood. We didn't have to convenience of looking up the lyrics on the internet so if the album didn't come with a lyric sheet we were screwed lol.

That is EXACTLY what I heard too and I couldn't figure out how it made sense in the song so thank you so much for clearing that up for me...although I'll probably still sing it as neck hehehe
