'The national anthem of the United States is highly susceptible to the creation of mondegreens ... "O say can you see, by the dawn's early light" ... has been misinterpreted (both accidentally and deliberately) as "José, can you see" ... countless times.'

"Free Association Radio" 😄 How about misheard lyrics (mondegreens)? My favorite is a misheard lyric from J.J. Grey and Mofro which I hear as "Am I a thief with my Maker?" from their song "Brave 'Lil Fighter." More poetic and philosophical than the actual lyrics, imo. Used in a short story.

I’ll try most of the 1DS if for nothing else just to remind myself how little I know about everything but that one was just not happening…

Let's have some fun; we all know one or three 'Mondegreens', those lyrics we mishear? Bluesky folks, your mission, should you accept it...

Mondegreens! "And you come to me - on a submarine" is always my go-to from the Bee Gees. That and the theme song from Ghostbusters "Those bastards!"

"'Scuse me while I kiss this guy." Might be one of the first musical mondegreens I remember hearing.

Am I wrong in always misreading 'defecting' as 'defecating'?
Is there an optical analogue to Mondegreens?

These are called Mondegreens. There’s an Irish poem with “lay them on the green” and the audience asked: Who’s Lady Mondegreen? Phish did an entire phestival full of songs like this. Check out The Moma Dance by Phish.

All these years, I've wondered about the name of the brown-eyed squirrel!
That is so perfect. You don't know how many mondegreens I've collected in my years of playing in cover bands. "Gimme Free Sex" "Bathroom on the Right" "Kiss this guy" "The Thunder Chief" etc #AT40
