Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Brandy"
Misheard Lyrics:
There's a girl in this harbor town
And she works laying whiskey down.
They say, 'Brandy, fetch another round'
She's heard of whiskey and wine.
Original Lyrics:
There's a girl in this harbor town
And she works laying whiskey down.
They say, 'Brandy, fetch another round'
She serves them whiskey and wine.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Donna Gelpigi

When this song first came out back in 1972 and was frequently being played on the radio, I misheard it as above. It had me thinking, "Duh! She works as a bartender by all appearances, and they feel a need to tell us that she's heard of whiskey and wine? Gee, if she were an obstetrician, would they feel a need to tell us that she doesn't believe in 'the stork'?
