The Question: Is there a song to which you (someone you know) sung the wrong words until someone (you) corrected you (him/her)?

My 2 Cents: The song, “Oh, Happy Day” is the song to which I sung the wrong lyrics until my ex-husband corrected me. The actual words are “He taught me how to watch, fight and pray.” I used to say, “He taught me how to walk right and pray.” Haha. Oopsie.

If you’re interested in seeing other lyrics that people have butchered, check out the site Kiss this Guy: The Archive of Misheard Lyrics. The site was named for a Jimi Hendrix song of which people sung the wrong lyrics. It’s pretty funny.
