MIS-HEARD LYRICS

[Frank53]

The best one I know is from a girl I went to high school with;

"I'll never leave your pizza burning" by the Rolling Stones (Beast of Burden).

LOL! That's classic!!!

The one I believed for years; Stevie Nicks, from "Edge of Seventeen", I believe.

"Just like a one wing dove..."

Gulp! That's what I'm still believing.... what does she actually sing?

[upsetminded]

My friend always thought "Pure Massacre" by Bush was "New Mastercard"  

And as a kid I always would sing "There's gonna be a party tonight, A party tonight I know!" by the Eagles

Today I learnt a new word....

                 Mondigrie (Mond - ee - Gree)

                        To mishear lyrics

Actually, it's Mondegreen. It comes from the final line of the first stanza of the 17th-century ballad "The Bonny Earl O'Moray"...

        Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
        Oh, where hae ye been?
        They hae slain the Earl O' Moray,
        And laid him on the green.

The last line was misheard as "And Lady Mondegreen".
