Misheard Lyrics:

"Cheap Wine" Misheard Lyrics: Baby you can shout at me But you can't leave my eyes ...

Mending every minute of the day before Watching the ocean, watching the shore Watching the sunrise, and thinkin' there could never be more Never be more, yeah	"Choir Girl" Misheard Lyrics: One nurse To wheel her down the corridors of feelin' ... She's no connection, yet I hold on ... Oh dear, the doctor (oh dear the doctor) He had no sense (of) responsibility Original Lyrics: One nurse To wheel her down the corridors of healin' ...

Story about this misheard lyric by: Rick Price

I’m devastated that after nearly 40yrs instead of the image of him cuddling up with a 19yr old Sheila and drinking wine, I now have the image of a homeless drunk who hasn’t attended to his personal hygiene!

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Taipan"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

If the heat don't get you,taipan will
Six o'clock, the whistle sings
CSR is the sugarcane king

Why They're Nonsensical:

WTF does CSR being 'the sugarcane king' have to do with the rest of the song? It sounds like Don couldn't come up with a line to rhyme with 'sings', so he just wrote something completely vaguely connected with the subject of the song.
