Having trouble understanding the lyrics to Joe Cocker's With a Little Help from My Friends? This video will help.
(It's been posted on the board before, but it's always worth another look!)

Just check out the Beatles original! Ringo is pretty easy to understand. I always thought Cocker's version was too over the top, although I like it.
I have one. The Rolling Stones' Sway, which I heard eariler today, I thought was 'it's just that mean ol' life has got me in its sway'. It is 'it's just that demon life'....
These are all so imaginative. When I was in college we used listen to a slot on a radio show called 'looney lunchtime lyrics' which was just that - mishearing the lyrics of songs,
Some people may remember Katrina and the Waves song 'Sunny Street'. Instead of 'we're all livin on a Sunny Street' it sounded more like 'we're all livin on a Soda Stream'. Actually I won a Genesis album for sending that one in.
Another was from Bon Jovi's 'Livin on a Prayer'. The line 'Tommy used to work on the Dock' came out to us as 'Tommy used to work on the Dart'. Very logical since this is the acronym for our 'Dublin Area Rapid Transport' train system!
'I must be leaving soon... its your world now'
