Happy New Year. My goal is to learn the accurate lyrics of many of the rock & roll songs I’ve loved throughout my life. Here are three tunes that have been somewhat hazy until I did a little research.

Well, OK. I didn’t do much research so thanks to the youtube nuts who did.

BTW, the headline refers to Elton John’s often misheard lyric “Hold me closer, tiny dancer.”

BONUS: Joe Cocker takes a clearly understandable Feelin’ Alright song and turns it into a garbled classic.
