Misheard lyrics

you'd think that they would have learned from Luh-Lee-Luh-lah to sing more clearly LMAO
 
haha
for the longest time i thought the line in 'bad moon on the rise' was 'there's a bathroom on the right'
 
Who knew?

A mondegreen is the mishearing (usually accidental) of a phrase as a homophone or near-homophone in such a way that it acquires a new meaning.

My favorite example:

In Manfred Mann's cover of Bruce Springsteen's Blinded by the Light, the line "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night" is often cited as a prominent example of a mondegreen in popular music. The line is often misinterpreted in Mann's version (the pronunciation is very exaggerated) as "wrapped up like a douche" (Springsteen's original lyric was "cut loose like a deuce"). Deuce, in the song, refers to a 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe, and not a hygienic procedure.

when he says "And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly...."

It sounds like "a little birdy wordy made my anus curly wurly.
 
dude, everyone knows the Blinded by the Light one. It's muh favorite. Who doesn't want to be wrapped up like a douche? ;)

EDIT: HAHAHAHA I hadn't seen the wishmaster one before. That's awesome!

Not to threadjack, but Bruce Springsteen is in my gym right now. I'm a personal trainer at Gold's Gym in Pier Village (Long Branch, NJ) about 10 minutes from his house. Kinda cool seeing the old fart put around and lift weights. He's in surprisingly good shape too. Just wanted to brag, I'm done.

End threadjack.

"The girl with colitis goes by..."
"Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy "
"Jos can you see?"
"Our Father, who art in Heaven, Harold be thy name..."
"rock the casbah" as both "lock the cash box" and "stop the cat box"
