Did I hear that right? (Misheard lyrics)

[Brooke]

It's moan for me too!

And I didn't know that an engineer was a 'driver' across the pond either.

I've been listening to BOML a lot recently (I love the way they do it in the HOTE shows) and it reminded me that until I saw the sub-forum on here, I always thought it was 'cheap-talkin' wine'. Kinda makes sense I guess...

That's what is sounds like to me so I had to look it up - "cheap talk and wine". Will it sound like that now I know?

OK, two things here... I've lived all my live in the US, have not traveled abroad, and most of my life I lived in areas of the country most would consider 'redneck' areas. In my experience, most people use the word 'autumn'. Mostly because you can't say the 'fall leaves are falling', it sounds ridiculous. Everyone says 'the autumn leaves are falling'. I wouldn't consider the word a British word at all! I will say that we do use both words and don't stick with just one.

Reminds me of Autumn Leaves that really melancholy jazz instrumental too.

And back to Eagles songs - I have one that I came across last week. In Midnight Flyer is it "Engineer, won't you let your whistle blow" or "Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan"? I think it's the latter.

Thank you for reminding me that I wanted to look up who wrote that song. Paul Craft, a songwriter from Memphis. Aww, he died a few months ago:

I've just seen a fantastic misheard line! I was reading Don's Wall Street Journal interview & a comment below suggested he write a sequel to the song about 'that tired old man with the electric cane'(!), who, the commenter then says, 'ended the Cold War'.

[Funk 50]

Great one Freypower, it's so feasible isn't it. Always wondered how the old dodder-er managed to be the most powerful man on the planet (Reagan).

[NOLA]

Really enjoying this thread, because I've mistaken many of the same lyrics!

- LITFL: Always thought the word was "heavenly."

- TKOH: Soda, ITA with "sex-starved monkey." Thought it was a great slang expression that paired well with "power junkie."

- MF: "moan" vice "blow."

I'd like to add two more:

- LE: "refuSe" vice "refuGe." Trashy life or trashy mansion?

- LBG: "They write me letters, tell me I'm great." Thought Joe sang, "They write Tim letters, tell him I'm straight." As in heterosexual or sober??

[GlennLover]

The LBG lines you heard could be right. Joe often changes the lyrics in concert. I have heard him say "They send Tim letters" before. When I heard it he said after that "tell me Glenn's great".

[AlreadyGone95]

On the Eagles Live album Joe says "They write Tim letters, tell Glenn Don's great". He's also changed letters to emails.
