I hope you have a very happy weekend! 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 |
| Hollaback Girl | Gwen Stefani | I ain’t no hollaback girl | I ain’t no Harley bat girl |
| Get out the Map | Indigo Girls | We’ll leave the figuring to those we pass on our way out of town | We’ll give the finger to those we pass on our way out of town |
| Hammer and a Nail | Indigo Girls | From a chin in a hand and a thoughtful pose | From a chin in a hand and a potted rose |
| Jenny from the Block | Jennifer Lopez | I’m still, I’m still
Jenny from the block |
Amstel, Amstel
Jenny from the block |
| Love Don’t Cost a Thing | Jennifer Lopez | Think I wanna drive your Benz? | Think I wanna dry Depends? |
| A Public Affair | Jessica Simpson | All the cameras, come out, for a public affair | All the camels, come out, for a bit of a pear |
| No Such Thing | John Mayer | I’m gonna bust out the double doors | I’m gonna bust out the devil dogs |
| Neon | John Mayer | She’s always buzzing just like neon, neon | She’s always buzzing just like Eeyore, Eeyore |
| Like I Love You | Justin Timberlake | Just be limber, baby | Justin Timber, baby |
| Somewhere Only We Know | Keane | Somewhere only we know | Somewhere a weevil |
| Miss Independent | Kelly Clarkson | No longer need to be defensive | No longer need to be the biscuit |
| Mr. Brightside | The Killers | I’m Mr. Brightside | I missed the price sign |
| Somebody Told Me | The Killers | Heaven ain’t close in a place like this | You’ll never need clothes in a place like this |
