What are your favorite Misheard Lyrics? I have many (thanks to a minor neurological issue as a child with hearing certain sounds in speech, there was a time when I was the king of misheard lyrics), but the most fun are the ones you know must be wrong, but you enjoy hearing them that way. An example:
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with colitis goes by...
For what it is worth i just realized that the Whitney Houston song i had always heard as "Climb every mountain" is in fact "I'm every woman." IT IS THE TITLE OF THE FUCKING SONG AND IT TOOK ME 30 FUCKING YEARS TO FIGURE IT OUT.
Had a similar issue with an Adele song i thought was about a dead end job in a collection agency. "Should I give up or should I just keep chasing payments, even if it leads nowhere." Title of the song is "Chasing Pavements". Work it out, moron.
Also, a song whose lyrics i always heard as "We'll be smoking grass today". Any guesses?
Though not actually a mondagreen because I knew the right lyrics, I used to cheese off my college roommate by unintentionally singing a line of our school Alma mater, played for alums before football games, that sang of "ivy covered halls" as "ivory covered halls".
