I'm not a big fan of Christmas music, but hearing Winter Wonderland reminded me of how my eight-year-old mind heard this Christmas classic. Because I didn't know what a Parson was, I heard:
In the meadow we will build a snow man
And pretend that he is parcel brown
Further along in the song I heard:
Later on we'll perspire as we dream by the fire
So when I saw Miss Cellania's recent post on Christmas Mondegreens it put me in the mood to visit my favorite site for misheard lyrics whose url contains one of the most famous mondegreens: 'scuse me, while I kiss this guy. This site requires a SPEW WARNING else you'll be mopping up your monitor while counting head lice on the highway
from Tiny Dancer or watching as the girl with colitis go by the Beatles.
Here are three of mine that may or may not be on this archive.
The Beatles: But the fool on the hill / Sees the sun going down / And the ice in his hair / See the world spinning round.
Janis Joplin: Take another little piece of my hard on baby
Abba: Wannado, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Love these!
