Misheard

What do you guys think?

I am curious. How many of you have misheard song lyrics and then found out they weren't the real words? How many of you then took what you thought you heard and said to yourself, "Wow, that is really good!", then used it to write a poem? It works I think because we often hear what we want to hear.

    I agree, I do this all the time! Not only for lyrics, but also when I am reading, I will often read a line to say what I think it should -- when I go back, I find it isn't at all what I thought! What tricky organs our brains are. Lita

    I do that alot... ok...way too much considering my husband is constantly correcting me... a rare occasion when he corrects me then I look up the lyrics and OMG! I WAS RIGHT! hehehe Great idea Mark, And I think you are right, we do hear what we want to hear... most of the time

      Yeah. But remember just because it's on the 'net doesn't mean it's correct. I've found websites that got it wrong themselves. lol
