My son Adrian (9) loves the concept of mondegreens & on several occasions we've heard "Every Time You Go Away" on the radio & he belts out: "..you take a piece of meat with you!"
on a related note, I was talking to a fellow dad at school during pick up time today and we were discussing a recent incident in which his son, both of mine & a couple other boys were having difficulty settling who got to be in which tent at their campout last weekend. I said that first one boy, and then my youngest, Gabriel, "volunteered to go to a different tent and extricated themselves from the situation".
Adrian was within earshot & started complaining, how come *his* tent didn't get any extra cake!

For years my brother's friend would hear these lines in Tom Petty's Jammin' MeTake back your mess o' red tape,
Take back your those basketballs.
Take back any morphine
Give em all a place to go
the actual lyrics: Take back Vanessa Redgrave
Take back Joe Piscopo
Take back Eddie Murphy
Give 'em all some place to goI think we can see which ones have stood the test of time...  |

"the girl with colitis goes by"
"Every Time You Go Away" on the radio & he belts out: "..you take a piece of meat with you!"

Think of it as a hobby. Something you do to relax. You're an "assassination enthusiast."

DCFC, "Little Bribes" -- am I the only one who thought they were saying "you were like a walking condiment" (instead of "compliment")?

One that never occurred to me in 43 years of hearing "Groovin'" by the Rascals, but WLNG's Brian Bannon just said that he used to hear "you and me, endlessly..." as "you and me... and Lesley" (!)

I've heard others say the same thing. I never would have come up with that on my own. |
