    1. What are some of your personal misheard lyrics?

      I’m sure most people know of the common examples (“Hold me closer, Tony Danza”), but I’m interested in lyrics that you or someone you know has gotten wrong in the songs you regularly listen to....

      I’m sure most people know of the common examples (“Hold me closer, Tony Danza”), but I’m interested in lyrics that you or someone you know has gotten wrong in the songs you regularly listen to.

      Also, I’m interested in the story of how you found out it was a misheard lyric.

      • How long had you heard the wrong thing?
      • How did you find out the what the actual line was supposed to be?
      • Was there a dawning realization or comedy wrapped up in it?
      • Do you still sing it your way in spite of the actual lyrics?
      • Is the song actually improved by your lyric swap?

      If it’s not a burden, link to the timestamp of the song(s) where your misheard lyrics occurs.

      If you want to prime people to hear things your way, feel free to put the actual lyrics in a <details> dropdown to hide them, so people can listen to the song with your words in mind first.

      I have traditionally used APC's UPS products for my NAS, router, media centre and desktop computer. Nothing fancy, just something to survive short power outages and to allow graceful shutdowns if such an outage lasts longer than a few minutes.

      Unfortunately, I have had three of APC's devices malfunction in the past decade and while their customer support has always been excellent, I would prefer products that just work and don't cause me additional headaches. Do you know of any UPSs that you would recommend for home use and are reasonably priced? I'm located in the EU, if that makes a difference.
