Seventy percent of respondents said they get annoyed hearing other people sing lyrics wrong. We’re not happy about these garbled lyrics, either. Jimi Hendrix took the second spot (19%) with his line “Excuse me while I kiss the sky,” from “Purple Haze” being confused for the less abstract, albeit more open-minded, “Excuse me while I kiss this guy.”Īnd in third place, 14% of respondents said they’ve heard “Rock the Casbah,” by The Clash, mangled into “Rock the Cat Box.” Listen: Spotify’s top misquoted song lyrics Fifty-two percent of respondents reported hearing “Wrapped up like a douche/when you’re rollin’ in the night” instead of the correct lyric: “Revved up like a deuce/another runner in the night.” The winner? By a long shot, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band confused the most folks with “Blinded By the Light,” the 1976 hit written and first recorded by Bruce Springsteen.
