A Flock Of Seagulls', "I Ran"

I walk along the avenue.
A Flock Of Seagulls', "I Ran"

In Iran, a land so far away.
Original Lyrics:
And I ran, I ran so far away.
A Flock Of Seagulls', "I Ran"
Misheard Lyrics:
Iran's so far away.

I ran so far away.
Iran IS so far away, especially for the band Flock Of Seagulls (since they're British) so I guess the misheard lyrics WOULD make sense. ;-D
Flock Of Seagulls', "I Ran"
Misheard Lyrics:
With burning hair and tired eyes
Burning eyes I'm hypnotized, I'm through
Hypnotized, I'm through
And Iran, Iran's so far away
Iran, Iran all night and day
I couldn't get away.
Burning eyes I'm hypnotized, I'm through
Hypnotized, I'm through
And Iran, Iran's so far away
Iran, Iran all night and day
I couldn't get away.
Original Lyrics:
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away.
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away.
This song became popular while the United States was actively involved in what is most commonly referred to as the 'Iranian Crisis'.
