"Feelin'... like a ham n mustard shake"... and other misheard lyrics.

[IsIt1984Yet]

The real lyrics are:
...you might as well face it, you're addicted to love.

But they were misheard as:
...you might as well face it, you're a dickhead in love.

This one is the best:

The real lyrics are:
My Angel is a Centerfold
