"Mondegreens" or " 'scuse me while I Kiss this Guy"

Being a real live radio dj, I get a lot of requests on the air when folks know a few lyrics but not the name of the song.  This can create some real interesting conversations on the phone.  Sometimes just the bad singing is enough but the best of all is when they really have no idea of the lyrics or sometimes even the artist.   My favorite screwing up of an artists name is from a couple of years ago when Uncle Kracker and Kenny Chesney teamed up for the song "When the Sun Goes Down."  I had one loyal listener that always wanted to hear Uncle Tractor and Kenny Chestnut.   Some good laughs.  I'm serious here, this is not made up. 

But this is about Mondegreens.  The Urban Dictionary defines Mondegreens as such:

mondegreen

noun.  A misheard lyric in a song. The term comes from an old song which contains the lyric "They slew the Earl of Moray and laid him on the green." It was commonly misheard as "They slew the Earl of Moray and Lady Mondegreen.

Jon Carrol creator of "Mondegreens Ripped My Flesh", San Francisco Chronicle, lists the top 3 Mondegreens as:

1.  Gladly the cross-eyed bear (from the line in the hymn "Keep Thou My Way" by Fanny Crosby, "Kept by Thy tender care, gladly the cross I'll bear") Carroll and many others quote it as "Gladly the cross I'd bear. Ed McBain used the mondegreen as the title of a novel.) Also, this mondegreen is paraphrased by the band They Might Be Giants in their song "Hide Away Folk Family" (Sadly the cross-eyed bear's been put to sleep behind the stairs, and his shoes are laced with irony.)
   
2.  There's a bathroom on the right (the line at the end of each verse of "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival -- "There's a bad moon on the rise")
   
3.  'Scuse me while I kiss this guy (from a lyric in the song "Purple Haze", by Jimi Hendrix -- "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky").

  I used to have contests on the air in which I would give a mondegreen and the listener would have to tell me the name of the song.  Sometimes this would create more fun mondegreens.  But as the contests went on I had people writing in some of their favorite mondegreens or calling them up.  The fun part in life is when you know you have been singing the song one way and then find the actual lyrics and get that sudden epiphany: "That's why my friends all looked at me funny," and yes those same friends never told you any different either.

 So what are some of your favorites?  If you read the article "Mondegreens Ripped My Flesh" you will see that sometimes the stories behind the revelation are just as fun as the mondegreens themselves. 

One site I used for my contest has been up and running for several years (in one form or another), check it out if you can't think of one.  KissThisGuy.com - The Archive of Misheard Lyrics - Based on the Jimi Hendrix lyric, this website is a collection of many mondegreens of popular songs and is just hilarious to browse through.  

So let's post some of your favorites...and If you have a good story behind them post those also.  We won't laugh (out loud).

I'll start with some of my favorites:

 "Baking Carrot Biscuits"  actual lyric "Taking Care of Business" - Bachman Turner Overdrive

"Looking for a lover that wont b*ow my brother" actual lyric " Lookin' for a lover that won't blow my cover" - Take It Easy - The Eagles

"It's a girl my lord, an Old flat w*ore"   actual lyric "It's a girl my lord, in a flatbed ford"  - Take it Easy - the Eagles.

So what are your faves?  Any cool stories to tell?
