File this under "ruined in a cute way".... My little godson (6.5 yrs) was at Christmas Mass singing at the top of his lungs: "So bring Him insects golden fur. Come pheasant king to owe Him." Who knew.
hymn/Christmas Carol: What Child is this? (sung to the tune of Greensleeves) correct lyrics: "So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh. Come peasant (and) king to honor Him." The proverbial apple of my eye.
I wouldn't say it's ruined and it's never been on the top of my list anyway, but whenever I hear the song now, I can't help but hear "Take your teeth out, tell me what's wrong". And it really is "chiquitita tell me what's wrong" (ABBA). The girl who got it wrong thought it was about old people and dentures, apparently.
Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama". Every day, on my way to work, KLBJ would play it. Every. Single. Day. I can't stand to even hear the first four notes.
Y'know, ABBA would sing their songs in the language of the country where they'd be touring. One of the males described a particular song, saying "It sounds crazy in Spanish".
Queen - "We are the Champions". For years it seemed every H.S. graduation I went (had) to it was the class song.
Lately, Pandora has been haunting me with Jet Airliner. You'll be happy to know that I sing along using all the alternate lyrics: Big ol' jet airliner Big ol' gal named Dinah Big ol' chair recliner Big ol' trashcan liner It's the little things.
For me, it was hard to pick up on the lyrics of some of his early songs like Bennie And The Jets and Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting.
Stressed out by Twenty One Pilots. Have the album, like it, then the single gets on pop charts. It's played every 45 minutes on rotation on the station at work. For 9 hours..... Everyday
