The Police, "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"
Misheard Lyrics:
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know I love 'The Purple Song'.
or
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know 'The Color Purple''s on.
Now I know I love 'The Purple Song'.
or
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know 'The Color Purple''s on.
Original Lyrics:
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on.
Now I know my love for her goes on.
Editor's note: This song came out in 1981, but the novel "The Color Purple" did not come into existence until 1982, so this mishearing is not plausible.
