My daughter sang along to Michael Jackson.

Hold me, like the river Jordan.
Cos I am a centipede, and you are my friend. smile

I love these. My favourite, courtesy of a little niece, is that well known song by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John, from Grease, “You’re the Wizard of Oz, ooh ooh ooh”.

Also from Bohemian Rhapsody:

“Spare him his life from these pork sausages”

You know, those song lyrics that you always misheard. From the the folk song The Bonny Earl of Moray when the line

For they've slain the Earl of Moray and they laid him on the green

was misheard as

For they've slain the Earl of Moray and the Lady Mondegreen

Have you any favourite mondegreens? A couple of mind are

From Bob Dylan:
Knock knock knocking on Kevin's door

From David Bowie's Oh You Pretty Things
You better make way for the Mother Superior
