#mondegreen — Public Fediverse posts

@top40yearsago I have never been able to hear the lyric as anything other than "Bring me an iron lung!"

#mondegreen

This just came up on shuffle, and since #mondegreen has been on my mind recently, I stopped to listen carefully.
“That’s not what he’s singing, is it?” So I Shazam’d it (see screenshot).
For decades, I thought he was singing “cents on the dollar”.

“Hot dog? Jump in front. I’ll buy cookies.”

Just read a line where someone had to depend upon his “prime-ordeal instincts” to know how to do something. #eggcorn #mondegreen

Listening to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runway_(song) and I have a new #mondegreen :
Face-cargot

Like, presumably someone's face is a salty garlicky snail snack?

Big ol' Jed had a light on
But his woodshed was too far away
Oh, Big ol' Jed left the light on
Lack of heat caused his death that day....

@alwirtes wait, non #Mondegreen hashtag??

There’s a bathroom on the right. #EggcornFamousPhrases #HashtagGames although I suppose this might be considered more of a #Mondegreen Oh well I’ll stick with it.

I haven't listened to it yet, but apparently the hot new hits these days, in karaoke and pop music generally, are from a Korean supergroup named the KPop Demon Hunters.

Just now I went looking for a karaoke video for the turn-of-the-century rock band Cake, and among the autocompletes was "cake pop demon hunters" suggesting that a lot of people had misheard the name that way!

I love the idea of "cake pop demon hunters!"

@rljenk 😂😂😂😂 Rick Astley has also done the #mondegreen version of NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP 🤣

"Never gonna run around with dessert spoons" #ILikeToWatch 🤩 #TeenDreams

Rick does NOT take himself seriously ❤️🥰👍🏼

#ILikeToWatch 🤩 #TeenDreams 1️⃣A - Our 1st song is a fanvid featuring Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy to Shaun's hit TEEN DREAM which has been a #mondegreen ALL MY LIFE 🤣

The lyrics FLYING GRADE referred to the 1970s experience of everyday air travel as *luxurious* 😳 with seats an inch wider and rows 10 inches further apart than today's cattle class 🤯 along with premium food (prime rib!) for free. WTF! (torture yourself here https://www.aol.com/7-things-air-travel-had-125152033.html )

Slang becomes obsolete in 50 years 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

One day, I will need to replace my car. And when that day arrives, I just know I'm going to mishear something and end up with a car that's a lovely shade of mondegreen.

I thought The Selecter song lyric was THREE LEGGED HERO which left me *very* confused 🤣

(not the ACTUAL title of THREE MINUTE HERO) #mondegreen
