    Have you ever misheard the lyrics of a non-Eagles song? If so, what did you think was said vs the reality? Fire away!

    Where do I start?

    My all-time favorite is actually one my ex-husband misheard. I knew what he kept singing, I just thought he was trying to be funny. But 'There's a Bad Moon On the Rise' (by CCR) he really thought was 'There's a Bathroom On The Right'.

    I knew somebody who once thought the line "Shoe the children with no shoes on their feet" (Fly like an Eagle - Steve Miller) was "Shoot the children with no shoes on their feet."

    Apparently, she thought Steve was a bit unsympathetic!

    Someone in our family (not mentioning his name) has been known to change a lot of them.

    One day we were in the car and Rhiannon came on. We were all singing along and HE sang, "Briana". Katie about came unglued!!!

    Pop Singer by Mellencamp was "never wanted to be no Bob Seger" instead of "never wanted to be no pop singer". Said he never could figure out what Mellencamp had against Bob Seger.

    Paper In Fire also by Mellencamp- the line "like paper in fire" was "like black widow spider".
    He sings it high, he plays it low

    Lol these are cracking me up!

    I've heard some say they thought the lyrics to Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen were "just like the one-winged dove" (as opposed to "white-winged dove"). That puts a lot less positive spin on the metaphor!

    I always thought it was ''shelter'' the children.

    In Baby Please Don't Go by Them, I turned out to be right about 'you had the shackles on' but I thought 'before I be your dog' was 'bought me a dog'.
