Vaguely amusing quiz foibles

Now and again there's a song that comes up in the quiz the people really don't have any idea what the title is, or what the correct title is, or how to spell the title. I can only think of three now, but can you lot add any more to this list? (Mistakes in brackets)

Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name (Of)
Procol Harum - (K)Nights in White Satin
Bob Dylan - Rainy Day Women etc. (Everybody Must Get Stoned)

Now back to my presentation for Monday (yawn).

The clue is in the question. You can always catch them out with brackets in titles. The one that immediately sprung to mind was [I Can't Get No] Satisfaction. Having Googled I found a Guardian blog with quite a few examples.

Good luck with the presentation. I don't envy you that!

I meant that I was putting the mistakes in brackets, rather than looking for song titles with them :oP Cheers though.

Yes I know you did. I was saying that often people get titles wrong when they contain bracketed words. So they are good for catching people out. :helpful:

Um - Nights in white satin was the Moody Blues...

Procul Harum did whiter shade of pale :0)

That's twice in a week I've mixed those two up. Ah the irony...

Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) - Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. I get that one right but usually end up fighting with others as to the correct title. Why don't people believe me :(

People too happy to stick with their own assumptions :o)
