Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates.

That "wywrdsn"... always makin puzzle caches with the song lyrics. You know, some of us aren’t so good with song lyrics. My wife tells me I just never listen, but I think it’s the way those kids sing their songs. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve MISHEARD song lyrics.

Here are some lyrics I ‘ve been told are wrong. First you’ll have to figure out what the correct lyrics are supposed to be. From that, you can identify the artist and song title. Finally, find the year that the song was released in the U.S. and use the last digit to fill in the coordinates below (unless otherwise indicated). In the few lines that involve some simple math, do the calculations based only on the final digit of each release date, not the entire year. Oh, like the lyrics, the coordinates may not be dead on either, but +/- 20 feet isn't bad for one of those containers previously used for baby butt wipes.
