My sister used to mis- hear song lyrics and have us in hysterics when she sang them; eg. ...from 'Message in a Bottle' by the Police......' a year has gone since I broke my nose...!' Has anyone else done or heard any of these?

lol Like in that new commercial on TV! There's this commercial about Napster or something and the song "Rock the Casbah" by the Clash is playing. This one guys starts singing "lock the cash box, lock the cash box" instead of "rock the casbah." So the other guy looks at him and is like, "isn't he saying stop the cat box?" So, then they start singing "stop the cat box, stop the cat box." And then at the end of the commercial it says, "you dont have to understand your music to enjoy it." lol It's just so funny, it makes no sense. I remember making mistakes like that as a child. My grandparents love to tell this story about one of my mom's cousins. When he was younger he used to sing this little tune. I don't remember exactly how it went - something like, "you can't ride my little red wagon, the seat is broken and the axel's draggin'." Anyway, he had the lyrics all wrong and would sing, "you can't ride my little red wagon, the seat is broken and my *** is draggin'." lol Of course, he was only 5, or so, so they found this hilarious and still enjoy telling the story.

Yeah! In another Sting/Police song, Da DooDooDoo, Da DaDaDa, the line is: "When the eloquence escapes me", but I heard someone once sing: "When the elephants escape here!"
Then there's the famous mis-sung from Jimi Hendrix, where the real line is ""Scuse me while I kiss the sky., but a good many people have heard and sang it as: "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy"!
And there are so many more out there that I'm gonna give someone else a chance!
Have a great day!

i admire the automated one, I hadn't heard that! the superb ones i think of of contain Madonna (l. a. Isla Bonita) which i'm not likely to variety out using fact this could be a public communicate board, Credence Clearwater Revival (undesirable Moon growing to be) 'there's a undesirable moon on the upward push' heard as 'there's a bathing room on the dazzling' and my conventional via The Police (Message In A Bottle) 'A 12 months has exceeded for the reason that I wrote my word' and not 'for the reason that I broke my nostril' those are commonly used as 'mondegreens' ever for the reason that somebody misheard an previous human beings music that went 'they have slain the Earl and laid him on the eco-friendly' and concept it grew to become into 'the Earl and female Mondegreen'

Of course! In the Rod Stewart song "Stay With Me" he says "lets go upstairs and read my tarot cards"..a friend of mine sang " let's go upstairs and read my cat a poem" and now every time I hear that song I can understand why my friend thought that!
My husband thought the line in Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody that said "spare him his life from his monstrosity" was "spare him his life with a one sausage Inn" He never thought how ridiculous the line was because he was a little kid when he sang it. It wasn't until he was in his 20s till he found out the right words! I still laugh out loud when I think of it!!

I have a friend whose husband misheard an Alabama song that says "Chubby old groundhog, croaking bullfrog" which he thought said "chubby old grandma". We thought that was pretty funny and not so nice to grandmothers everywhere.

message in a bottle by the police is a great example, i always interpreted it as 'a year has passed since i broke my knob'
