i was looking up lyrics for the song and artist thread and found this site. it has misheard lyrics on it. The Beatles', "A Hard Day's Night" Misheard Lyrics: And when I get home to you, I find a broken canoe. Correct Lyrics: And when I get home to you, I find the things that you do. Groove Armada's, "At The River" Misheard Lyrics: If you're fond of sad dudes and salty air Crazed little fingers just here and there Correct Lyrics: If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air Quaint little villages here and there http://www.amiright.com/misheard/artist/index.shtml
Slightly off-topic, but in line with the "misheard" idea ... By way of background, ages ago I spent about 7 years in patent work from both sides of the fence, for the U.S. Patent Office and later for patent attorneys. Patent claims, which are the legal "heart" of a patent, are worded as broadly as possible. They almost invariably include "... means to [accomplish whatever function] ..." rather than actual structure, so that any structure doing the function is covered by the claim. Standard practice in our office at the time was to dictate into recording machines for our secretarial staff. One application I was working on, I included in the claims " ... bearing means to avoid undue wear ...". It came back, neatly typed: "Baring" means to avoid underwear.

I always thought they were singing "Reverend Bluejeans", when they were saying "forever in blue jeans". Alot of people get the lyrics wrong, that's what makes it all fun!
