Many of you mentioned that you enjoyed the mondegreens I provided a week or so ago, so I thought I’d try to dig up some more. Some of these may be repeats, but some are new. Several cracked me up and I hope they bring a smile to your face, too! These are from a collection of mondegreens here. [KC – There are some naughty ones there, so beware if you decide to visit
that page.]
| Song Title | Artist/Group | Actual Lyrics | Mondegreen |
| Rocket Man | Elton John | Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone | Rocket man, burning all the trees off every lawn |
| Stairway to Heaven | Led Zeppelin | And as we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls | And there’s a wino down the road, I should have stolen Oreos |
| Higher Love | Steve Winwood | Bring me a higher love | Bring me an iron lung |
| Every Time You Go Away | Paul Young | Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you | Every time you go away you take a piece of meat with you |
| I’ve Got Two Tickets to Paradise | Eddie Money | I’ve got two tickets to paradise | I’ve got two chickens with parrot eyes |
| I Wanna Be Sedated | The Ramones | I wanna be sedated | I wanna piece of bacon |
| Middle of the Road | Pretenders | I’m standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me | I’m standing in the middle of life with my pants behind me |
| You Don’t Bring Me Flowers | Neil Diamond | You hardly talk to me anymore, when I come through the door at the end of the day | You hardly talk to me anymore, when I Kung Fu the door at the end of the day |
