By Craig Rosen | Stop The Presses! โ Thu, Jul 11, 2013 5:18 PM EDT
It happens to every music fan without a lyric sheet. You think you know that words to that song, so you sing along, but often times you're just plain wrong.
Music-streaming service Spotify has taken note of the phenomenon and has released a survey of the 10 most commonly misquoted song lyrics.
But don't let these corrections crush your groove. We've always thought that feeling and passion are often more important than the actual correct lyrics, but for the record, here is Spotify's list with the misquoted lyrics and the correct words.
1.Manfred Mann's "Blinded By The Light" got 52 percent of the vote.

Anyone know the words to any of Sting's songs? I had to buy the lyric book of his just to understand him. Now I know what We Work the Black Seam Together really is about! I also remember Louie Louie being pretty racy!

One of the things I love about Aerosmith is their twisted and double meaning lyrics

The song,"Louie,Louie"' probably has more different words and interpretations in it than most. I would give you some examples, but I'm sure the AARP censors would have a fit if I quoted some. I googled the lyrics of it and was amazed by the history.
memadeania that was a good one about Madonna.

NO DOUBT. LOUIE, LOUIE WAS AN AMAZING SONG FOR IT'S TIME

This same song I thought was "Hark the Harold Angels Sing". My father was Harold and I thought he had his own band of angels.
I also thought it was "Ormewood Christian Soldiers". We attended Ormewood Park Presbyterian Church.
In Response to Re: Misheard Lyrics:
I had to play with one of the words big brother AARP censor.
Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God**mn sinners reconciled
