Steve Miller Band's, "Mercury Blues"
The Lyrics:
You know that gal I love I stole her from a friend
Fool got lucky stole her back again Because she knowed he had a Mercury
Fool got lucky stole her back again Because she knowed he had a Mercury
Why:
I can't imagine Steve thinking the past tense of 'know' is 'knowed'!

Steve Miller Band's, "Take the Money and Run"
The Lyrics:
Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
Why:
"Facts is" replaces the correct "facts are" to force a semblance of a rhyme.
