misquotes

So according to wikquote:

I woke up this mornin' and I got myself a beer."

• Correctly, according to the book "Light My Fire" by fellow Doors member Ray Manzarek, Jim Morrison was in fact singing "I woke up this mornin' and I got myself a beard", as the song allegedly tells of Morrison waking up after 3 weeks of drug induced sleep

They must have scurried to change the lyrics subsequent to the first time it was misheard and appreciated.

When i read the following, something inside me died.

• "Beam me up, Scotty" - James T. Kirk
  • From the Star Trek science fiction television series. Several variants of this do occur in the series, such as "Beam me aboard," "Beam us up home," or "Two to beam up," but "Beam me up, Scotty" was never said during the run of the original Star Trek series. However, the quote "Beam me up, Scotty" was uttered in Star Trek: The Animated Series. The movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home included the closest other variation: "Scotty, beam me up."

• "Damn it, Jim! I'm a doctor not a..." - Leonard McCoy
  • From the Star Trek science fiction television series. McCoy had several lines of this sort, except that he never said "damn it". Only one "swear word" was used on the original Star Trek series (prior to the movies) and it was "hell," uttered on only a couple of separate occasions.

Somehow, the world is a little greyer without the common usage of these quotes. I need a moment. Jame T. Kirk is god.
