Today I’m taking a look at – for my money – the king daddy of all misheard lyrics… one that the band knew about when they were recording it but couldn’t do anything about. A tune that was written by a boss – but made popular by an earth band. The misheard lyric for today is from Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – and is Blinded By The Light.

If Manfred Mann’s Blinded by the Light is the king daddy of all misheard lyrics, then Bette Davis Eyes from Kim Carnes is the Queen Mother. This tune came from her sixth album Mistaken Identity and held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks -- was a number 1 hit in 21 countries – becoming Billboard’s biggest hit of the year. The song won the grammy for Song of the Year and Record of the Year – and just missed the top 10 list of the Top 100 Songs of the first 50 Years of the Billboard Hot 100.
