oooh, mondegreens!

How I love these. My sister, as a kid, used to think the lyrics to Olivia Newton-John's "Magic" were:

Capture the leaves, we are magic...

which I always thought was rather poetic.

My all-time favorite, which still cracks my shit up after years and years and years, comes from a friend in high school. The song is "Demolition Man" by The Police. The song concludes with the lines:

I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man


Only Kate heard it as:

I'm a three line whip, I'm a sawed-off Ed McMahon
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
