Kat from Minnesota shares the following:

Since I was little, I’ve always had an amazing memory, especially when it came to memorizing words to songs. HOWEVER, I wasn’t always so brilliant when it came to figuring out what the words ACTUALLY were. If I didn’t know I just came up with my own fill-in-word that sounded like the mystery word I couldn’t figure out.

One day, while driving with my husband, Billy Joel’s “Big Shot” came on the radio and during the line, “Ya had to be a big shot, didn’t ya,” with the latter part sounding like “dincha” but to me, I though ‘teacher’ sounded pretty good. So, while singing along (loudly) I belted out, “Ya had to be a big shot, TEACHER, had to ….” My husband busts out and says, “What did you say the words are?” So, what do I do? Repeat myself, “Ya had to be a big shot, TEACHER” (BTW, my husband IS a teacher).

“It’s DIDN’T YA! Not TEACHER! HAHAHAHAAHAH”

God, I felt SO dumb. Until this day, if we hear the song, my husband gets the ‘grin’ and starts giggling. “TEACHER” I will never live that one down.
