‘Stairway to Heaven’ – Led Zeppelin

Misheard: “There’s a wino down the road”
Correct: “And as we wind on down the road”

Despite being referred to as “the best rock song of all time,” “Stairway to Heaven” never reached the charts. The song was never made available as a single; instead, promotional singles that were sent to radio stations are now valuable collectibles.

Correct: “See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen”

The only one of ABBA’s string of hits to make it to #1 in the U.S., “Dancing Queen” also hit #1 in 13 other countries. It might also be their most misunderstood song. According to a poll conducted by Blinkbox in 2014, 22% of listeners reported hearing the famous lyrics this way.
