@idoubtit @Long_live_rock_n_roll Ahh yes - a classic 👏🏼

I will admit to one or two - John Fogerty and his “southern, country, swamp rock drawl” that he got from living in the Bay Area was not always that easy to decipher🧐.

What's your favorite mondegreene (misheard lyric).

The most famous is probably "Existy me while I kiss this guy" by Jimmie Hendrix but I think my personal favorite is "we have seen Buffy" a mishearing of " we have sympathy" in King of Silence by Civo Matti

I love Matt Pokora's À nos actes manqués, but I first heard it as "Exactamonkey", and I honestly can't hear anything else now. youtube.com/watch?v=UqQ9NWzIiM 🐒🇫🇷

REAL:
They have slain the Earl o’Moray
And laid him on the green.

MISHEARD:
They have slain the Earl o'Moray
And Lady Mondegreen

Thus giving us the term for such mishearings:

Something that always cheers me up: remembering the time my brother @timdnewman misheard the lyrics to Strange Brew by Cream as "Straaaaaange brew, guillemots inside of you!"

Listening to the radio in the car (old car) and forced to listen to the new Nickelback song. Until they actually said the name was “San Quentin” I thought he was singing, “Keep me outta… second winter!”
I can relate to the song “Second Winter”. The song “San Quentin”, not so much.

(misheard lyrics)

"Hammer Head", Australian Crawl (James Reyne)

Actual lyrics:
"Some silken slip of evil
Hammer head."

What I hear:
"Slip sook shut blip blam blook
Put a hound in yer head"

James Reyne... the most unintelligible singer in recorded history... but good music...
