when i was a wee lass, i had a webpage devoted entirely to mondegreens. if you don't know what they are, they're misconceptions of song lyrics. for example, the earliest one i can remember is how i thought, as a child, that roy orbison was singing "holy baloney" instead of "only the lonely" in his classic hit of the same name. so i guess the purpose of this thread is: what is YOUR favorite mondegreen? **i wish i knew where to find that old page of mine!** http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,66#msg-66 Wed, 22 May 2013 00:14:33 -0700 Phorum 5.2.9 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,413#msg-413 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,413#msg-413 baronightwolf Anything Goes Mon, 20 Nov 2006 07:54:33 -0800 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,399#msg-399 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,399#msg-399 The Smoking Loon Anything Goes Thu, 16 Nov 2006 22:19:17 -0800 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,377#msg-377 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,377#msg-377 baronightwolf Anything Goes Thu, 09 Nov 2006 10:32:00 -0800 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,361#msg-361 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,361#msg-361

The Monkees' PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY--

"Oh, thoughts all seem to stray/to places far away..."

As a kid I thought that "to places far away" was "two places of firewood"...as in, you know, two STACKS of firewood in the backyard or something...

Weird. But I WAS NOT dropped on my head as a baby, I assure you.]]> Bob Cryptonight Anything Goes Sat, 30 Sep 2006 01:03:08 -0700 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,211#msg-211 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,211#msg-211 baronightwolf Anything Goes Sat, 16 Sep 2006 12:22:09 -0700 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,145#msg-145 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,145#msg-145 nomoneymark Anything Goes Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:44:07 -0700 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,129#msg-129 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,129#msg-129 The Smoking Loon Anything Goes Sun, 27 Aug 2006 02:36:01 -0700 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,86#msg-86 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,86#msg-86 LAME!]]> shakesomeaction Anything Goes Sun, 20 Aug 2006 07:15:58 -0700 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,81#msg-81 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,81#msg-81 Anonymous User Anything Goes Sat, 19 Aug 2006 21:31:04 -0700 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,78#msg-78 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,78#msg-78 shakesomeaction Anything Goes Sat, 19 Aug 2006 21:18:56 -0700 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,76#msg-76 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,76#msg-76 letsdanceon Anything Goes Sat, 19 Aug 2006 20:30:24 -0700 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,66#msg-66 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?14,66,66#msg-66 so i guess the purpose of this thread is: what is YOUR favorite mondegreen?
