Default Guessing GL song titles

Err Umm

Are you lot trying to make me believe that I am going nuts??

Firstly tsomebody drags out a 10 year old review of a Humphries concert written by a
person who clearly did not know much about Gordon
But seriously I have to sympthise with him because getting GL song titles wrong is something I invented all of 40 years ago see my setlist for a 1968 Montreal concert
(I hand wrote a setlist including a then new-to-me song that I took to be called
"Tweedledidum Tweedledidee")
Then somebody elae called "cocochula" records Gord singing a song in Phoenix obviously
entitled
"If You Could Change My Mind"!! An interesting montage presumably caused by an unrelated
old audio or video file of "Changes" on his computer corrupting his video file of IYCRMM.
I will now have to download the video to check that it was not me imagining things or that the corruption was not caused on my computer. or possibly youtube itself. This reminds me that there is a humoroUs ditty written and sung by Christine Lavin that she called
"Good Thing He Can't Read My Mind"

Has anybody else ever had a problem with a GL song title
I will also mention that at the May 1981 Royal Albert Hall concert in London Gord actually for once gave the full title of one of his then new songs that he was about to
sing and introduced it as:-
"This one here is called.. it goes by the unlikely title of
'Heaven Help The Devil May He Have A few Unpleasant Memories'"
It was a memorable rendition featuring both Pee Wee and Mike
