It’s a rainy Friday here in San Diego, so we definitely need a little pre-weekend pick-me-up with some mondegreens. Today’s misheard song lyrics are from Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza, by Charles Grosvenor Jr.
| Song Title | Artist/Group | Actual Lyrics | Mondegreen |
| Where It’s At | Beck | I got two turntables and a microphone | I got two tin cans and a microphone
I got Toontown tables and a microphone |
| Me, Myself, and I | Beyoncé | I’m dealing with your three kids in my home | I’m dealing with the crickets in my home |
| Hey Mama | The Black Eyed Peas | Cutie, cutie | Cooty, cooty |
| All the Small Things | Blink 182 | All the small things, true care, truth brings | All the small things, Drew Carey sings |
| Bad Medicine | Bon Jovi | Bad medicine is what I need | Sam Kinison is what I need |
| Livin’ on a Prayer | Bon Jovi | Take my hand, we’ll make it, I swear | Take my pants, we’ll make it, I swear |
| Brilliant Disguise | Bruce Springsteen | Is that you baby, or just a brilliant disguise | Is that you baby, or just a bird in disguise |
| 1, 2 Step | Ciara | This beat is automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky fresh | This beat is hydroponic, supersonic, smelling fresh |
| Oh | Ciara | Oh, round here we riding slow | Oh, round here they fry ‘em slow |
| Trouble | Coldplay | And they spun a web for me | And they spammed the Web for me |
| Yellow | Coldplay | Look at the stars | Lou Cat, the Scar |
| Euro-Trash Girl | Cracker | Euro-trash girl | You’re a trash girl |
| Higher | Creed | To a place where blind men see | To a place where linemen sing |
| My Sacrifice | Creed | My sacrifice | My sack of rice |
