As far as I'm concerned this article is ridiculous, I don't think for a minute any of these lines are what the average listener hears (except for maybe the 6th one), but I'm posting it anyway to hear what you think.. Personally I think the author just made this up, nobody thinks these are the words. Below are excerpted just the lines in question, I think we already know what songs they come from, but if not see the full article:

Have you heard this?
Many songs have I heard something other than the actual lyric, too many to mention but just for an example the song by Manfred Mann "Blinded By The Light" I heard:
"blinded by the light, rapped up like a douche and in a runner in the night" Endless examples like that.
