Ignorant all these years!

I don't believe I misheard T Rex's 20th Century Boy, all these years of listening to Hauraki!

REAL: Ev'rybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll

MISHEARD: Ev'rybody says it's just like Robin Hood

I feel like crap. I don't feel like talking. G'night!

T-Rex was british.

That's an old one. There's a whole discussion devoted to misheard lyrics on the Weblog board.

t rex was british but whoever did the answer my friend etc was american or atleas sounded american, it is old but i only picked up on it a while ago. my brothers one ammused me a bit, i posted it on an old one but i doubt anyone read it.
Real - talking bout bits and pieces
Misheard - talking bout mixed adhesive
Or something similar

//Whoever did the answer my friend etc
Your fucking kidding, right?

Well Bob Dylan did it but im sure many people did it before him and me firts and the gimme gimmes have also done it so i dont know who did it first.

even u2 have done it

I'm pretty sure Bob did it first. What with writing it and all.

probably but seeing as i didnt listen to music in that era if i was even alive,i think that its alright for me to not know

nah i'm sure at least one line in 20th century boy IS "just like robin hood". i'm gonna cling to that anyway.

my best misheard is manfredd manns earth band 'blinded by the light':
real: "revved up like a deuce"

misheard: "wrapped up like a douche"

I had it as "wrapped up like a deuce"
