Talking Mistaken song lyrics

I remember a while back, a friend of mine was so 'sure' that the Jimmy Buffet tune 'Wastin' away in Margaritaville', had the line:

" I blew out my flip-flop,
Stepped on a pop tart"

You ever thought you heard something that wasn't?

Kids these days have no clue what a pop top is, so I bet they all be deep in the confusion.

Time to dust this one off again. Always a classic.

"Excuse me while I kiss this guy" instead of "Excuse me while I kiss the sky".

My friend used to sing "Heard about your son, now he's not a tomatoe" instead of "Heard about your son, now he's married to Mable" from Cream's "Badge".

I always thought Nirvanas "Smells Like Teen Spirit" said 'a mosquito, my libido, yeah' but that makes absolutely no sense at all. That crazy Kurt.

Steve Miller's Jet Airliner!

The lyrics are: "Big ol' jet airliner, don't carry me too far away"

I've heard people sing: "Big ol' jet had a light on, don't carry me too far away"

But this one slays me:

One of the most ironic is Lynyrd Skynyrd's song "They Call me the Breeze." It came out right after the plane crash. The lyrics sound like "They call me Debris"

I always wondered, why would anyone wrap up a douche?

That was what he was singing. no, it makes no sense, that's the idea behind the song. He was mocking the teen angsty random chaotic lifestyle.
