Misheard prog lyrics

[Sturgeon's Lawyer]

I always heard that with a comma: "The music, dance and sing." But "muses" makes more sence with the next line, which begins "they make..."

I just figured a more plausible "reconstruction" actually

The children dance and sing
They make the music really ring

[Sturgeon's Lawyer]

That works too...

[Batchman]

Google's first hit (or their own summary) for "yes roundabout lyrics" shows:

The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring

So that makes another case for "muses" being a better choice than "music", as it is the probable antecedent of "They" in the second line of the pair.
(Not that I subscribe to that theory, and I hesitate to embark on a plan to rewrite all of Jon Anderson's lyrics to make more sense.)

[Czyszy]

The stoner gibberish is what makes Jon's lyrics so iconic. I just like to nerd out like all hell, from time to time.

[Progbear]

I usually think crossovers are vapid and stupid, but I really wish we could have had a Yes album with Elizabeth Fraser vocals and lyrics, and a Cocteau Twins album with Jon Anderson vocals and lyrics.

[Czyszy]

Well, we already have a Roine Stolt solo album with Jon Anderson vocals and lyrics. xD

How about in The Remembering by Yes...

Will we reach
Windsor/Slough

When Kermit the Frog sang it ain't easy being green. Oh wait........................I thought you said misheard frog lyrics.

Simone Rosetti does a pretty good Kermit impression every once in a while, gotta give him credit:

The lead singer of Canned Heat, on "On the Road Again" and "Going Up the Country," has been described as sounding like Kermit the Frog, but I always felt he sounded just like Mickey Mouse.

[Mister Triscuits]

The lead singer of Canned Heat, on "On the Road Again" and "Going Up the Country,"

That was Al "Blind Owl" Wilson. Canned Heat's regular lead singer was Bob "The Bear" Hite, but the Kermit guy got them their biggest hits.

I used to think that Zeppelin's "No Quarter" was by Canned Heat!
Before I get reamed for that, some background is in order:

I was still a kid who listened to AM radio. My older brother got a stereo with FM radio (pretty exotic for my family) and I started
hearing a ton of things I hadn't heard before. I didn't know the names of any bands, I just thought it had to be the same singer.
(at least on the quiet verses of "No Quarter")

Dear God, he sounds like he's choking to death.
