Hahaha...shows how out of touch with pop culture I am, I didn’t know who that other guy in the side by side was...I thought it was a comparison...:)
It doesn’t really look like him, but with all the plastic surgery these people do, who knows these days!
I just spit my drink...
Here’s an acoustic version with Rod on vocals in case you still have doubts.

I think there is a double meaning intended for this song.
I always thought the Monkees theme they said. “Went to Betsy singing, to put anybody down.” I didn’t know who Betsy was but there seemed to be a lot of popular songs where they threw in some random girls name.
Like “Just Give Me Some Calasandra” (Some kind of sign girl).
Those tinny transistor radios weren’t known for their high fidelity sound.
Lastly. On John Lennon’s version of Stand By Me, I SWEAR he sings, “The Moon is the only flying pussy.” I’ve told several people about that and now they say they can’t hear it any other way.
When the Go Go’s song came out I heard it on the radio several times. Was talking to my buddy on the phone and he said “I really like that GoGo’s song, Our Lips are Sealed.”
I said, “I don’t know that one. I like Honest I See You.” Which he didn’t recognize.
It was Our Lips Are Sealed, but that’s how I heard it coming out of the radio.
"'Scuse me while I kiss this guy..."
You'll be pleased to notice the Zaftig mandolin player. This piece moves me!
Thats classic! lol
Rush used a Mellotron on a few songs.
With regard to lyrics, in the Rush song “Bastille Day”,
those who don’t know their history hear Geddy Lee sing about “lemony cake”.
How about Or steal my daddy’s q and make a living out of playing fool. Q as in IQ
Hot legs, bring your mother, too!
>> It always sounded like playing pool to me, but I never liked his music.
I second this opinion. I never heard anything other than “playing pool’. And I don’t think I can name any other Rod Stewart song except Maggie May without hearing it again first.
Neither can I, but another freeper above posted a song I'd forgotten about - Stay With Me - which is good EXCEPT for the parts when Rod Stewart is singing. lol
A song about donuts?
We Swifties have our own favorite misheards:
Starbucks lovers, Im a Barbie on the boardwalk, 100 donut speeches I never said to you.
I’ve always heard the words as “playing pool.”
Dunno how you got frying food. First time I heard the song I heard it as playing pool. What do you fry with a cue?
when my kids were little they heard “all your CoCo Puffs” (Santana) and “Broken Arms” instead of Steve Perry singing “open arms” So now i come to you, with broooken arms!
