Bee Gees: More Than A Woman Misheard lyric: “Bald headed woman”
I remember back in the '70s whenever KFI Los Angeles air personalities Lohman and Barkley played that Bee Gees song they always said "Bald Headed Woman."

Save me
Oh save me
It’s a real submarine
-ELO (Showdown)
The real lyric is “it’s unreal, the suffering”, but Jeff Lynne started singing “it’s a real submarine” live.

Toto – Africa Actual lyric: “There’s nothin’ that a hundred men or more could ever do.”
Does that include beating a gorilla?

Honestly, it was several years before i learned it was not “Secret Asian Man” but “Secret Agent Man”.I about died laughing when I watched the Jackie Chan movie "The Spy Next Door,"(2010) and THAT was the song they played over the closing credits. I thought, no way is that coincidence!

Surely the Wallflowers’ hit “One Headlight” was inspired by Steve Miller Band classic tune telling us that “Big old Jed had a light out…”

LOL...I was just going to ding you on “Tony Dancer”!
To: nickcarraway
Most of these are a huge stretch.
This one is real: “Life would be ecstasy, you and me and Leslie/Groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon”
In the Willie Nelson song "On the Road Again," I always thought the line "The life I love is making music with my friends" was "The wife I love is making music with my friends", which gives the song a very different meaning.
"Ventura Highway" (1972) by the band America has a line "alligator lizards in the air", that I always thought really must be something else, but those are the real lyrics.
