Mondegreens

[SiorX]

For years I thought that Brown-Eyed Girl (rather bizarrely) started "Hey, Roderigo!"

At least Google tells me I'm not alone in this.

I'm a huge fan of the Cocteau Twins. You can just about imagine what it's like trying to pick lyrics out of THEIR music. (And they did it on purpose, I know this. Elizabeth Fraser manages to make total gibberish sound like heaven... )

Come to think of it, their song titles sound like someone's Mondegreens.

Don't go 'round tonight
it's bound to take your life

^^ Aw, c'mon -- EVERYBODY's heard that one. John Fogerty himself sometimes sings it that way on the final chorus, as a joke.

Please refer to the opening post. We're going for more ORIGINAL mondegreens here, folks.

It makes more sense if you look at it this way:

Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl O' Moray,
And Lady Mondegreen.​

(The actual fourth line is "And laid him on the green".)

"J'veux ton amour
Et je veux ton revenge
J'veux ton amour
I don't wanna be FRENCH..."

Hey it would make sense...
