The Rolling Stones, "Beast of Burden:" "I'll never leave your pizza burning" instead of"I'll never be your beast of burden"
John Mayer, "Your Body Is a Wonderland:" "And if you want love, we'll make it / Swim in a deep sea of bacon" instead of "... Swim in a deep sea of blankets"
Taylor Swift, "22:" "You look like Batman" instead of "You look like bad news"
Wilson Phillips, "Reckless:" "Talking 'bout the washer and breakfast" instead of "Wanna be impulsive, reckless"
The Beatles, "Something:" "Something's in the way, she moves" instead of "Something in the way she moves" (A subtle but silly change.)
