I Believe in Marigolds?
About ten years ago or so, Goldmine (a record collector's magazine) ran a misunderstood lyrics contest. The two winners were both Beatles related. (see below) Well, here at San Diego Scene, we've done some of our own research and collection of sound-alike lyrics . Here then are some of our own favorites:
