Misheard Lyrics
Well, for the longest time, I thought that he was singing "You've got to, got to do a little tavern dance."
This got me to look up other misheard lyrics, and some of them were pretty funny!
Song: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana
Actual lyrics: Here we are now, entertain us
They heard: Here we are now, in containers
Song: "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" by Eurythmics
Actual lyrics: Sweet dreams are made of this
They heard: Sweet cream is made of cheese
