To be annoyed about incorrect lyrics

Lighthearted one... I heard the Hoosiers song playing in a shop recently and my kids asked me to play it when we got home. I couldn't remember the band so was trying, and failing, to Google the song about being 'worried about rain'.

It turns out they aren't worried about rain. I'm irrationally annoyed. Who the heck is Ray and what is happening with him? I thought it was a song about being worried about the future - symbolised by rain clouds as a way of representing bad things.

Aibu to (very minorly) annoyed that I've been singling the wrong lyrics for years? Please help me feel better by sharing your own misheard lyrics.

And why was that Eiffel 65 fella so worried he would "die in Aberdeen"?

Op I can't make you feel better as I think it's not even Ray but Mr A. Best I ever heard was Simon and Garfunkles bridge over a tub of water...

I've said this before but I can't believe I was singing Alright by Supergrass completely wrong for the last 30 years! It turns out 'we are young, we run free, we part-y, basically' aren't the correct lyrics at all. The real words are something about running green and keeping teeth nice and clean. I only found out because it was on Broken Karaoke!

Macy Gray - I try

"I wear goggles when you are not here" when it should be 'my world crumbles when you are not near'.

Goodbye Mr A is a different song by the same band

I was very upset that Shaggy wasn't making jam in NY. I only realised it when I heard Sting singing about being an English man in NY.

Though Prince was singing rags miracle rags instead of raspberry beret.

And I love cookie was in fact Albuquerque.
