Mondegreens are awesome and are the source of endless amusement to me. The origin of one of the bandnames I was in when Martin thought Mark said Sir Cadillac.
Usually mondegreens occur when you can't figure out song lyrics. A few of my favorites:
Lilero used to think that Rock the Casba was saying "block it with asphalt"
I thought Dirty Deeds Done and They're Done Dirt Cheap was "thirty theives and the thunder chief"
When I was about 5 or 6 my sister told me that Big Girls Don't Cry was actually saying "niggers don't cry". If you listen to this song maaaan does it sound like it.
I can't remember all of but hit me up with some cause I love every one.

The best ever was Mark thinking "Cause I'm long, and I'm strong, and I'm down to get the friction on" in Baby Got Back was:
ReplyDelete"Cause I'm long, I'm strong, and I'm down to get the freak shit on!"
I like my baby got back lyric muuuuch better.
ReplyDeleteThe one I'm always ridiculed for is when I thought No Sleep til Brooklyn lyrics were "got his own room in the bachadabus" when it was really "...back of the bus." I sadly couldn't figure it out.
Also, the sir cadillac story was the reverse.
