Lyrics on the intertubes are not always correct.

Billy Joel's "Don't Ask Me Why" sounds more like "Don't AXE Me Why"...

Just heard the Buckingham's "Kind of a Drag" on the radio today and realized that 46 years after it was a hit, I still had no idea what the second line of the song is. "Kind of a drag / When you beh beh beh badoo"? Just looked it up on YouTube; those words never even crossed my mind!

46 years and that trumpet ain't in tune yet.

It's been even longer for the trumpet on "When a Man Loves a Woman," and nearly as long for the one on "Everlasting Love."

How about The Mamas and the Papas, California Dreamin'-- "on such a winter's day..." I used to hear it this way: "...I thought you'd wait a day..."

Another tricky lyric line from both Brook Benton & Dusty Springfield on You Don't Have to Say You Love Me-- "You don't have to say you love me,
? just because of that?   
? just stay close at hand ?   
? just because I'm fat ? 
? just because I'm flat ?"

Who can solve this riddle?

It's "just be close at hand"

The Mamas & the Papas, to me, were infamous as far as having I guess what you'd call multitracking & layers of voices to where often the actual lyrics are camouflaged.  "I Saw Her Again" is a good culprit of this, and when you listen in stereo to "California Dreamin'", near the end, it sounds as if either Cass or Michelle dragged out "dreeeeee------minnnnnnn" in the backup.  It has me thinking maybe something "between the lines" is there (like Peter, Paul & Mary sing out-front about in "I Dig Rock 'n' Roll Music").

I always thought it was "Son Of A Drag"

First line of "That's the Way of the World" by Earth, Wind and Fire is:

"Hearts of fire creates love desire"

Always sounded to me like:

 "Fight the fire, teenage love desire."
