Although I do like The Doors' version, I feel that Quo's version has an edge over it. While the version that was included on Piledriver is pretty close to the original, I also love the early live performance Quo did for the Granada TV programme "Doin' Their Thing" ; I'll post a video of that performance below.
In regards to the so-called incorrect lyrics, it's probably the case that Alan misheard them; or possibly changed them deliberately so that Quo's version wasn't a complete carbon copy?

The most influential b side ever? Not that I am a particular advocate of either song, but surely Maggie May by Rod Stewart and We Will Rock You by Queen would contest that title? I Am The Walrus?

I don't like admitting that this is good 😲 she's very talented & seems able to turn her hand to most any kind of song did reinforce earlier comments though - the word "bungalows" just isn't very rock'n'roll

However, I disagree. For a start the line you quote has the word "street" in it - that alone is already more rock'n'roll than "bungalows"
