It's Mondegreen Time At The OK Corral!
"When I was a child, my mother used to read aloud to me from Percy's Reliques. One of my favorite poems began, as I remember: Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,The internet has thousands of examples that are a bit too tortured for my taste. I think the best ones are almost indistinguishable from the correct lyric. And really...it almost has to be from a song. As tempting as it is to torture lines from novels or poems, the only reason we call them Mondegreens is because Wright's mom was reading the poem. So at the very least they should be confined to spoken or sung lines. Here are a few of my favorites, and the original lines should be obvious. "The girl with colitis goes by" "and there's a wino down the road - I should have stolen Oreos" "I really don't like him... Doctor Cashpot, Doctor Cashpot" "I'll be with you darling now; I'll be with you till my skis have dried off."" And Open Thread....but only after you provide at least one good Mondegreen.
Oh, where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl Amurray,
And Lady Mondegreen." The actual words of the ballad are: Ye Highlands and Ye Lowlands,
O where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl of Moray,
And hae laid him on the green

I refreshed once, because I stupidly read the content. I then paused for a moment, because I have a couple of these, but can't remember the song for the artist. Then I took a chance.
Anyway, one of them is a song about New York, where the female singer declares that it's the place where dreams are made of, but I always heard her singing of wintry tomatoes.
See? Makes no sense. Might as well be Joe Biden, FFS.

By the way, does anyone remember an amusing Whoopie Goldberg film in which she tries to decipher the Rolling Stones' "Jumping Jack Flash"? I loved the scene because I still can't understand Mick Jagger's musical blather.

For decades I thought the line in "Can't Get it Out of My Head" went "Walking on a wave she came..."
Then I got the CD with lyric sheet and discovered it's: "Walking on a wave's chicane..."
Which is a terrific, if the only, use of the word "chicane" in a rock song.

If you are singing that lyric, the best trick to remembering the proper Latin pronunciation is "In eggshell sis day-o" (In Excelsis Deo)
and a note for purists, that's probably medieval church latin, which is different than classical latin.

Closer to "in eggs chell sees day-o" or at least that's how I learned it way back when. Latin wasn't a dead language yet.

I have been hanging out here since just after the beginning (2004 - 2005ish), and I agree. Ace and the Horde have kept me from going totally batshit crazy over the years. And, having met some of the Horde in meat space only bolsters my belief that these are some truly wonderful people.
This is unique venue. it has a neat underground feel to it. And I know that this is not accidental.

That hatred was prior to Cream. When they were with the Graham Bond Organization band they got into a fight and Baker pulled a knife on Bruce. Clapton said he spent the whole time trying to be a peacemaker between them. I found this story from Forbes:
The story goeswhen late bassist Jack Bruce was a few hours from
death in 2014, he phoned up close friends to say goodbye. When he called
his ex-Cream band mate Ginger Baker, he told him, "I'm dying, Ginger,
f*ck you," then slammed down the phone. Baker tried to call back several
times, of course, but Bruce wouldn't pick up. If that is nota true story, it is certainlyplausible.

I was surprised when the WOPR child never really got into the current music. I think the problem is it is just cookie cutter. What are the odds a song about chess would make the top 40? The songs were simply more varied. Sure you have to sappy love songs. But, you had off beat songs that were good. Rap and hip-hop were a disaster. No instruments, no melody, nothing. Plus, most musicians weren't kids but actual adults. How many kids today would understand the Biblical references in Modern Day Delilah?

Is there anyone there 'cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe"
Apparently it's little girl, not lizard, and "her", not "our".
Their diction on that song is terrible, BTW. There's another line I can never make out but sounds like:
"You should know better you never listen to what I said
Puts in your pillow arriving when the n*****s sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I dare!"
Apparently it's:
"Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did"
Which is actually reassuring.
And in the bridge:
"When there's a cure
There's a drug
There's a painful love
And it's me
But it's all in control
There's a thrill
When you sail
When you feel
That I break on the waves
That you're acting on"
The actual lyrics are:
"Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me
That has all the control
Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold"
And in that case, f*** Maroon 5, the misheard version of their lyrics is way better on the bridge and I refuse to stop singing it.

Having never been to Memphis, I had no fucking clue was "bleat" was. Very off-putting.

his ex-Cream band mate Ginger Baker, he told him, "I'm dying, Ginger,
f*ck you," then slammed down the phone. Baker tried to call back several
times, of course, but Bruce wouldn't pick up. If that is nota true story, it is certainlyplausible.
Posted by: TheQuietMan at August 15, 2020 09:36 PM (lCCR+)
Sounds about right.....I liked Jack Bruce. He was very talented. I thought he had a good voice. Ginger always came across as an asshole.
Posted by: Hairyback Guy
I have read that both Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker were both very strong willed (i.e. gaping assholes). Ole Eric Clapton was stuck in the middle.

On the other hand, one of Greg Kihn's hits was The Breakup Song. And he said "the Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh" part was something they meant to fill in with words, but never did. Greg is a cool cat.

Probably my favorite lyric ever, bar none. You've got a double meaning on "class," a homonym on "principles/principals" and then the snottiest, most punk rock punchline ever.

And play just what I feel

They call Al Manna the pins all died
They call me deegan blues

Just watching the video for Tracey Ullman's girl-group throwback "They Don't Know" and there's a scene where a grocery store manager grabs her ass as she's walking down the aisle (it's not shown but implied) and she just makes an annoyed face and goes on singing and shopping.
I was like, yeah, these days she'd have him arrested on the spot, and he'd never work again. In the 80s it was played for laughs. And she got lucky with Paul McCartney at the end of the video.

British alternative group who identified as "Christian Socialists" drop their instruments and nail the a capella shit out of an Isley Brothers Christian song. And it was no studio trickery. They could and did pull it off live. No auto-tune, no backing tapes. Sounds as great today as it always did.

Original:
"I never wanted to be no Pop Singer,
Never wanted to write no Pop Songs."
I heard:
"Never wanted to be no Bob Seger,
Never wanted to write no Bob Songs."
Made perfect sense. Though I did not like Mellencamp much, I hated the never ending replaying of the same Bob Seger songs on the radio. All I could think was "Hey, Johnny boy grew some balls! Awesome."

I saw it on a Web site called "www dot KissThisGuy dot com" (not sure if you allow live links in the comments) and was hooked on the topic. In the early days it was all natural mistakes, but I think a great many of the later entries were kinda faked "mis-hearings" just so people could get their name up on the web site.
However, to this day, I giggle every time I think of Alex the Seal. (Original song - Our Lips are Sealed - obviously)
