Here'sToYa!:
Soy un perdidor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me -->

Obviously, the CCR, Hendrix and Paul Young choices are classic and well-known, but nobody, anywhere, ever thought REM was singing "let's pee in the corner". Seriously.

No question Ozzy's Brummie accent makes it sound as if he has a mouthful of marbles. But why do these mondegreen articles always have to stretch so far to find other examples besides the typical "scuse me while I kiss this guy" and so forth?
"We built this city on logs and coal"?!?!? Oh please...

Dunno if he still does, but Jon Carroll used to do a mondegreens column about twice a year, and there were always a ton of "examples" from readers that were clearly bogus and silly ones that no person had ever actually experienced.
