We have all been guilty of singing the wrong lyrics to songs and I will admit, I am still guilty. I don't think there is one song that I don't flub the lyrics on. Whether it's part of the chorus or just a word that get's miffed, I definitely have the wrong lyrics embedded into my head and like a bad habit, it's hard to break. So while I have now learned the correct lyrics of songs, I still continue to mis sing them. Here are some of the lyrics (Some of which I am 100% guilty of singing wrong) that have been submitted by you, our doyouremember.com fans. 1.

Lennon consistently denied this, insisting the song's fantastical imagery was inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland books, a claim repeatedly confirmed by Paul McCartney. “LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS” Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Ah Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds And you're gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Ah Picture yourself on a train in a station With plasticine porters with looking glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Ah Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Ah Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Misheard Lyrics: “The girl with colitis goes by.” Actual Lyrics: “The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.” Want to see more songs?
