There's a bathroom on the right??? Weird thing to write a song about, but, ok.

Ahhh...the days before Google, when we had to pray that our new cd (tape, album or even *gasp!* 8-track) purchases came with lyrics in the liner notes, or we might be left running around singing about Flintstone microwave ovens. Wait, what?

Read on for some of the funniest misheard song lyrics and decide for yourself if it's worth correcting after all this time (or if you like your version better, anyway).

EDITOR'S NOTE: Lastly, for, well, all of us that could only sing about some informer doing a licky boom-boom down and were forced to mumble the rest as best we could, the actual lyrics are: “Informer, you no say Daddy me Snow me, I'll go blame A licky boom-boom down. 'Tective man says Daddy me Snow me stabbed someone down the lane.” K.

Somehow, I don't feel better for knowing this.
