It’s a long weekend ahead, and here are some misheard song lyrics (a.k.a. mondegreens) from Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza, by Charles Grosvenor Jr.
I hope you have a safe Fourth of July!
| Song Title | Artist/Group | Actual Lyrics | Mondegreen |
| Falling Away from Me | Korn | Beating me down, down, into the ground | Beating a clown, clown, into the ground |
| Every Ghetto Every City | Lauren Hill | Unaware of what we didn’t have | Underwear is what we didn’t have |
| Bad Girl | Madonna | Bad girl, drunk by six | Bad girl jumping sticks |
| Don’t Tell Me | Madonna | Like a calf down on its knees | Eric Clapton on his knees |
| Shake It Off | Mariah Carey | Just like the Calgon commercial | Just like the catfood commercial |
| The Dope Show | Marilyn Manson | We’re all stars now in the dope show | We’re all stars now in the dog show |
| Family Affair | Mary J. Blige | So just dance for me | Soldiers dance for me |
| Enter Sandman | Metallica | It’s just the beast under your bed | It’s Judas Priest under your bed |
| For Whom the Bell Tolls | Metallica | Make his fight on the hill | Naked fight on the hill |
| Sad But True | Metallica | Sad but true | Sacred troll |
| Smokin’ in the Boys Room | Mötley Crüe | Put me to work in the school bookstore | Could be the Wookie ‘n the school bookstore |
| Wild Side | Mötley Crüe | Liars and the martyrs | Lions alma maters |
