Happy Friday! I hope you enjoy your Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, too. To send you off to the weekend on the right foot, I have some misheard song lyrics for you. A couple of them might be repeats from other resources, but I think you’ll still enjoy them.
Today’s mondegreens are from The Ants Are My Friends, by Martin Toseland.
| Song Title | Artist | Actual Lyrics | Mondegreen |
| What a Wonderful World | Louis Armstrong | The bright blessed day, Dark sacred nights |
The bride bless the day,
The dogs say goodnight |
| Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue | Chrystal Gale | Don’t it make my brown eyes blue | Doughnuts make my brown eyes blue |
| Love Hurts | Nazareth | Love hurts, love scars, love wounds, it mars | Love Earth, love stars,
Love Moon, and Mars |
| Emotion | Destiny’s Child (remake of Samantha Sang version) | Cry me a river That leads to an ocean |
Cry me a river That leads to erosion |
| Fall on Me | R.E.M. | Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky And ask the sky and ask the sky Don’t fall on me |
Find this guy and tell this guy and lift your arms to beg this guy And ask this guy and ask this guy To fall on me |
| Eyes Without a Face | Billy Idol | Eyes without a face | Flies in outer space |
| We Will Rock You | Queen | You’ve got mud on your face, big disgrace | You’ve got mud on your face, front disc brakes |
| La Isla Bonita | Madonna | Last night I dreamt of San Pedro | Last night I dreamt of some bagels |
| Cruel Summer | Bananarama | It’s a cruel, cruel summer | It’s a fruit, fruit samba |
| Brass in Pocket | The Pretenders | Gonna use my style Gonna use my sidestep |
Gonna use my style Gonna use my sausage |
| The Sound of Silence | Simon and Garfunkel | Silence like a cancer grows | Silence like a casserole |
| Ghostbusters | Ray Parker Jr. | Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters! |
Who you gonna call?
Gus Foster! |
