What’s your favourite mondegreen?

"Away in a manger, no crepe for a bed."
Have a look at Peter Kay's misheard lyrics on YouTube, its hilarious.

"I was sick and tired of everythiiiing
When I called you last night from Tesco"

SuperTrouper by ABBA. Should be "when I called you last night from Glasgow"

Mine was “I believe in milko” instead of miracles!

Really enjoying this, and I’d never heard of mondegreen either, so thanks GN for a new word. Mind you, someone had to explain “gaslighting” to me recently. Must get out more...

My little DGD would sing that Miss Polly called for a doctor with a dick,dick,dick

When I was a child I used to think that the line "round yon virgin mother and child" in the hymn Silent Night was "brown young virgin".

Or ‘take your teeth out’ as my mum used to say!

Years ago Noel Edmonds had a 'misheard lyrics' phone in.
My favourite was,
'You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. four hundred children and a crop in the field.'

I thought a Hawaiian guitar was a hwang guitar. because of the slidey sound they make

From metrical psalm 121 " I to the hills will lift mine eyes". Good idea Grandma!

"Thy foot heel not let slide"

It would help if people gave us the original version. I don’t get many of these references. I had to google the Auntie Violet one.

My daughter used to get the giggles over the Lord’s Prayer. She thought it was Hello Ed be thy name.

Every time you go away you take a piece of meat with you. (Can’t remember the artist sorry!)

My two DDs when they were young would sing:

"Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen.
Robin Hood, Robin Hood with his bandy men."

My brother's rendition of Jingle Bells:

"Oh, what fun a hist'ry ride..."

Also Taylor Swift's "Blank Space":

"Gotta lot of Starbucks lovers..."

I didn't know the word mondegreen either, interesting one for word games.

"Ruby don't take your gloves to town" we still mention that to my daughter now now 52.

When ever we visited GD, DD2 would run to the dining-room the minute Pa said, "we'll close the curtains to keep the draught out"

Then one day, many years later DD2 said, "I never saw the giraffes at GDs."

The carol Gabriel’s Message apparently contains the line “Most highly flavoured gravy”.

(“Most highly favoured lady”,)

Our eldest daughter is called Susannah which is why our children always sang 'Sing Susannah' rather than 'Sing Hosanna'!

Another one courtesy of DD2 - always around food ?
The lords prayer
....and give us our rice crispies for ever and ever Amen.

Every now and again I have to look at this YouTube clip. It has me in hysterics. There are others similar, with different interpretations.

This thread keeps jogging my memory.
Here's one I try to forget because DM laughed so much. Coming home from school I told her we'd been learning about Copper Knickers.

Copernicus

From Uptown Top Rankin by Althea and Donna.
Sime in my halterback, Sime give your arse a slap (heart attack)

Lucca, call me stupid but, why?

It was a novelty song published as Mairzy Dotes.
