Best (misheard) song lyrics!

[bearded bloke]

Due to watching The Chase last night I now know there is a single word to describe mis heard lyrics ... Mondegreen & it's because a young girl mishead a line in a Scottish poem ...


Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl o' Moray,
And laid him on the green.

Last line was misheard as ... And Lady Mondegreen

You might remember this one - "I'll be your substitute" by a band called Clout (1978). I was 11 and misheard the lyrics and went around the house singing a similar sounding word which starts... pros. Until my mum heard me and put me right!

[Jay-ell]

Hurray, hurrah , what a nice day, for eating trifles

Much tastier than

Hello-hurrah, what a nice day, for the Eton rifles

By The Jam (raspberry I'm assuming )

Bon Jovi Livin on A Prayer .........'It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not' - should be:
'It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not ' ......... oooer

[jonny the plant pot]

The killers if I had a parachute. .
Sounds like if I had a barrel of $#&£

LadyWayne always sang "I know, she knows, I'm not from the Boscombe" (Nope, me either ) as the line in the Kooks song "Naiive".

For ages I thought it was "I know, she knows, I'm not from the roster"
