Story about this misheard lyric by: Hans Holzherr I didn't mishear the line, but it seems that most singers who are not native speakers of English get the line wrong. I have never ever heard the correct line in Switzerland. Nobody cares to look up the lyrics because it doesn't cross their minds that they might have misheard. |
