“Reverend Blue Jeans”, and other mis-heard song lyrics
If you’re like me, you have a history of mis-hearing song lyrics. And, once I’ve heard them ‘wrong’ in my mind, I can’t shake it.
The first time I heard Neil Diamond’s “Forever in Blue Jeans”, I thought he was singing ‘Reverend Blue Jeans’. And that’s what I hum to myself whenever I hear the song.
It only gets embarrassing when I sing out loud.
So make me feel better, if you will. What are some of your own mis-heard song lyrics?
We’re not alone - I’ve linked below some collections from Amazon, including that all-time Elton John classic, Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza.
