    Elton John revealing a secret crush of his:

    "Hold me closer Tony Danza."

    As a JW teenager I was shocked that the FCC (U.S. broadcast regulators) would allow the following racy language by Elton John on the radio in his song Bennie & the Jets.

    "She's got electric BOOBS, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a maga-zah-eeee-een."

    Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" has one of the most famous misheard lines in all of history.

    Misheard: "All the lonely Starbucks lovers."

    Actual: "Got a long list of ex-lovers"

    I like this one because I think that the misheard line still fits in perfectly with the song, is catchy, and even a bit clever. It's even an amphiboly: are "lonely Starbucks lovers" romantic partners in failing relationships who meet up at coffee shops, or are they hopeless romantics who dream of falling on love while sitting alone in coffee shops?

    I have always made up my own risque lyrics to Songs , the fun thing was, I did it to the Dreaded Dirges, also known as "Kingdom Songs", my wife used to nudge me and tell me to stop, but it helped to pass the time.
