Happy Friday! I hope you all have a fabulous three-day weekend. To start you off right, here are some misheard song lyrics (a.k.a. mondegreens) from Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza, by Charles Grosvenor Jr.
| Song Title | Artist/Group | Actual Lyrics | Mondegreen |
| Strangelove | Depeche Mode | Strange highs and strange lows | Strange eyes and strange nose |
| Wide Open Spaces | Dixie Chicks | As her folks drive away, her dad yells, “Check the oil!” | As her folks drive away, her dad yells, Chucky Boil!” |
| Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting | Elton John | I may sink a little drink and shout out, “She’s with me!” | I may sink a little drink and shout out, “She’s a man!” |
| Tiny Dancer | Elton John | Hold me closer, tiny dancer. | Hold me closer, Tony Danza. |
| Superman | Eminem | Rot in pieces?
Aww that’s great. |
Rotten peaches?
Aww that’s great. |
| Sugar, We’re Going Down | Fall Out Boy | I’m watching you two from the closet | I’m watching YouTube from the closet |
| Ready or Not | The Fugees | I’ll be Nina Simone | I’ll be needing some more |
| Friends in Low Places | Garth Brooks | I’m not big on social graces | I’m not big on sausage gravy |
| Papa Loved Mama | Garth Brooks | Papa’s in the pen | Papa’s in Depends |
| Keep Away | Godsmack | Do like I told you,
stay away from me |
Dude, I got your chew, stay away from me |
| The Anthem | Good Charlotte | Another loser anthem | I’ll never use a rat comb |
| Girls and Boys | Good Charlotte | Girls don’t like boys,
Girls like cars and money |
Girls don’t like boys,
Girls like cows and bunnies |
| We Believe | Good Charlotte | Let forgiveness wash away the pain | Let the Guinness wash away the pain |
| Dare | Gorillaz | You’ve got to press it on you | You’ve got the breadstick on you |
