Happy Halloween!
Today’s selection of mondegreens is brought to you by Hit Me with Your Pet Shark: Misheard Lyrics of the 1980s, by Charles Grosvenor Jr.
| Song Title | Artist/Group | Mondegreen | Actual Lyrics |
| Waiting for a Girl Like You | Foreigner | So Mormon true | So warm and true |
| Welcome to the Jungle | Guns n’ Roses | If you got the money honey We got George’s knees |
If you got the money honey We got your disease |
| Maneater | Hall & Oates | And you can tell by the purple Jaguar | A she-cat tamed by the purr of a jaguar |
| Happy to Be Stuck with You | Huey Lewis & the News | I’m so happy to discomfort you | I’m so happy to be stuck with you |
| St. Elmo’s Fire | John Parr | I can see the pandas fly | I can see the banners fly |
| Ask the Lonely | Journey | When you’re feeling loads of hair | When you’re feeling love’s unfair |
| Don’t Stop Believin’ | Journey | Some were born to bring the booze | Some were born to sing the blues |
| Open Arms | Journey | So now I come to you With leprechauns |
So now I come to you With open arms |
| Livin’ After Midnight | Judas Priest | I set my sights on little old men | I set my sights and then home in |
| Turbo Lover | Judas Priest | I’m your turtle lover | I’m your turbo love |
| You’ve Got Another Thing Coming | Judas Priest | Stand tall, I’ve got a cattle prod | Stand tall, I’m young and kinda proud |
