This doesn't really count, but I used to thing the lyric to 'Papa Don't Preach' was 'Papa don't preach, I'm in double deach'. There is, of course, no such word as 'deach', but that didn't stop me. The real lyric is 'Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep'.

Yeah, that annoys me. 'axed' and 'arksed' and even 'arsed'.
