I have more number rules for you, but it is Friday. Friday is a day to relax a little and start easing into the weekend. Plus, I have a new book of mondegreens (misheard song lyrics, for those of you new to the Editor’s Corner). I still have some from the last contest, too.
Today’s mondegreens are from our favorite collector, Charles Grosvenor Jr., and his book Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza.
| Song Title | Artist/Group | Actual Lyrics | Mondegreen |
| Let Me Go | 3 Doors Down | In this world, There’s real and make believe |
In this world,
There’s real and Maybeline |
| In Da Club | 50 Cent | We’re gon’ sip Bacardi like it’s your birthday | We’re gon’ send a cardy like it’s your birthday |
| I Do (Cherish You) | 98 Degrees | Your hand brushes mine | Your hair versus mine |
| Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche) | 98 Degrees | Give me just one night, una noche! | Give me just one night, on a lawn chair! |
| Are You That Somebody? | Aaliyah | Give me goose bumps and high fevers | Give me tube socks and long sleeves |
| We Need a Resolution | Aaliyah | Now tell me what’s the reason? Stupid yo? | Now tell me what’s the reason? Snoop video? |
| Crazy | Aerosmith | I feel like the color blue. | I feel like a caribou. |
| Dude Looks Like a Lady | Aerosmith | Dude looks like a lady | Do the dragon lady |
| Jaded | Aerosmith | You think that’s where it’s at, But is that where it’s supposed to be |
Your finger’s where it’s at,
But is that where it’s supposed to be |
| Janie’s Got a Gun | Aerosmith | Run away from the pain, yeah | Run away from the pagan |
| You Don’t Know My Name | Alicia Keys | And your cuff links are shining all bright | And your cough mixture’s shining all bright |
| If I Ain’t Got You | Alicia Keys | Some people want diamond rings | Some people want collard greens |
