it has to be a cover up... no way they were singing those words. I heard they recorded it with one over head mic and other wise primitive equipment. I still have my original 45, but it is severely scratched.

I realize this one is not exactly familiar to the SimHQ demographic, but the kids make us keep the radio on a top 40 station.
Anyway, A couple of years back, Ariana Grande song One Last Time was on heavy rotation.

The actual lyrics are:

I was a liar
I gave into the fire
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest

but it sounds an awful lot like

I know I shouldn't have farted
At least I'm being honest.


looks very modernishy-phoney-windows eighty-tabletty like

You have my deepest condolences.

Wifey always sings this song from Bad Company incorrectly...

Rock and Roll Fantasy - Bad Company

Lyrcs: "Here come the Jesters, one, two three...."

Wife: "Here come the Jetsons, one, two, three...."

D'oh! Me too...lol.

**edit**

Just listened to it again. I always thought "I left the rain"


Someone mentioned "Better Man" by Pearl Jam earlier. My 24 year old daughter still gets a kick from when she was young and thought it was "Butter Man".

Ho Ho Ho it's Magic, You know, Never believe it's not so

My Mom's version when she was still kind of new to the English language:
Ho Ho Ho it's my d!ck . . .
