Bang me in the chest...

Our correspondent from the Copper Belt in Zambia, David Wegener, suggests:

Ask people on the blog to write in lyrics to songs that they've gotten wrong and always thought the singer was singing one thing, when in fact they later discovered that he was singing something radically different.

I just heard about example A-1 a few days ago and I'm still laughing to myself about it. Your son knows about it and so do my girls, but they just told me. John apparently used to think that Paul McCartney was singing "Bang me in the chest," when in fact he was singing, "Bennie and the Jets."

Maybe we shouldn't limit it to lyrics, but also include mistakes like thinking "Bang me in the chest" was done by Paul McCartney? Anyhow, the pit is open...

When my sister and I were young we always heard the weather men talking about the "windshield factor" in wintertime. (Which made a lot of sense to us, because when it's cold already and then you drive down the road...)
