The theme this is week, submitted by Alana at Ramblin’ with AM is Misheard Song Lyrics. I know I have sang the wrong lyrics many times but I can’t think of a single one at this moment. These days, I just can’t remember the words like I once did and new stuff I misunderstand 80% of what’s being sang.
I ran through a few articles on this subject hoping to jog my memory. The closest I came is I vaguely remember getting the words of ABBA’s 1976 hit, Dancing Queen.
BusinessInsider wrote… According to NPR, a British poll revealed that this particular line from Dancing Queen “See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the dancing queen,” but some seem to think it’s “See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen.” was the No. 1 most commonly misheard lyric in 2014.
Another article I came across also referenced different misheard lyrics from the same song.
The Hollywood Report shared…A line in one of the band’s most popular songs is often sung as “feel the beat on the tangerine,” but the correct lyric is “feel the beat on the tambourine.”
I know for fact I also sang the first line wrong but I heard a different lyric arrangement from those polled in 2014. The point being, our brain is prong to doing weird things. Why is that? I guess that’ll forever be a mystery.
What song lyrics have you misheard?

One more thing before I sign off, Marie sent an email that came in late Thursday. She had a bit of health scare and was in the hospital. Apparently our girl had a “slight heart attack”. Also, she’s still dealing with problems with her computer. Her health is the most important, so please keep her in prayer. As I learn more, I’ll share the news. Have a boogietastic week! X💋X💋
