I suppose you all know about the general mondegreens sites? kissthisguy.com is one, there used to be one with “mondegreens” in the website name that I know was good and huge. Anyway it’s fun to read a few occasionally…not sure how useful they are to look up specific songs or phrases though.

Just like Bob Dylan, i used to think the “I can’t hide!” from I Want To Hold Your Hand was “I get high!”.
And also, i thought that there were 2 Las in Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da and they sang, “La, la, how the life goes on.”
Oh, and i thought that, in I’m A Loser , John sang, “and i hacked like a clown,” instead of “acted”.

Offline The lyric in Love You To “before I’m a dead old man…”
I had no idea what it was for a while, but for some reason I heard “you’re my little man.”
When I thought of that I laughed at myself and started wondering what it actually was… this was fairly recent, actually, probably just a couple months ago I came up with that.
“Or play the game existence to the end” from TNK, as well.
I heard it as “or play the game, make systems to the end.”
It really doesn’t make sense, but that’s what I heard.

When I was a kid and even into my teen years, I thought the lyric in A Hard Day’s Night was “so when I mention I’m home ‘cos when I get you alone…” when it’s really “so why on earth should I moan ‘cos when I get you alone.” Took me until my early 20s to suss that out once and for all!

I find it funny.
I thought the lyrics in Real Love were “It’s real love, its real to me.” when it’s only “…it’s ree-e-eal.” Also towards the end in I Am The Walrus when John sings “kicking Edgar Allan Poe”, I misheard it as “kicking a guerrilla” and couldn’t decipher the rest.

heeheehee some of these are funny.
My mother always thought that “Paperback Writer ” = “take the last right turn”.
I was in my teens and had to set her straight. It was pretty funny. What’s more, we were in the car, going somewhere. Maybe I should’ve told her to take the last right turn (but I’d’ve been slapped for that!).
(She also thought that CCR’s “Bad Moon Rising” said “there’s a bathroom on the right”. Clearly my mother had some sort of problem with the right. And her ears.)

Offline When I got With The Beatles I listened to Money (That’s What I Want) for pretty much the first time, even though I always new about the even older version, I had just never bothered listening to it before, so the first time I heard it I thought the lyrics “money don’t get everything it’s true, what it don’t get, I can’t use” was “money don’t get everything it’s true, what it don’t get, I got you”

Offline This isn’t song lyrics, but a misunderstanding of the content of what George says in AHDN . And I have to preface this with the fact that I was really into Medieval history then:
When he’s talking to the female reporter who asks what the name of his haircut is, and he says “Arthur”, I thought that he was referencing a serious English name for a haircut style that harkened back to King Arthur and early medieval times. “The Arthur”. Much in the way The Mullet lives on in history.
So after years (My Hiatus), when I saw AHDN in the theatre, I was like, “Oooooooooooohhhhhh he’s quipping. Smartass.”

And after watching Living In The Material World I think I know why he said Arthur instead of any other name.
According to Paul they had a friend named Arthur who always used to say of George’s hair, “it looks like a fookin’ tuhrbin.” So although the style was different, (no longer a turban) it still reminded him of Arthur.
