from the American Pledge of Allegiance: . . . and to the republic for Richard Stans


Of note: how did we come by the name "mondegreen?" From thoughtco.com:

A mondegreen is a word or phrase that results from mishearing or misinterpreting a statement or song lyric. Mondegreens are also known as oronyms.

The term mondegreen was coined in 1954 by American writer Sylvia Wright and was popularized by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Jon Carroll. The term was inspired by "Lady Mondegreen," a misinterpretation of the line "And laid him on the green" from the Scottish ballad "The Bonny Earl o' Moray."

1. Live and learn.

[Atticus]

2. Paperback writer: "Pay the black rider" nt

[Ocelot II]

4. There's that old hymn about a visually-impaired bear named Gladly:

“Gladly The Cross-Eyed Bear.”

[Aristus]

5. "Just call me Angel of the Morning, Angel

Just pack my Jeep before you leave me, baby…”

[FalloutShelter]

6. Deep Purple HUSH

We were convinced as kids that it was not Hush…hush… but rather bird/shit… bird/shit.
We were too young to be high maybe just crappy stereo speakers.

As mentioned, There’s a bathroom on right…
was standard.

13. Hendrix "Watchtower"

"But it's getting late." You can probably figure out what I thought it was. haha

[Paladin]

14. The title is "Carefree Highway," not "Every Highway."

I got the title and lyrics of Gordon Lightfoot's song wrong for decades. Having said that, and as much as I like Gordon Lightfoot's work, I think "every highway" makes better lyrical sense....

15. My name is August West, and I love my Pearly Baker best, more than my wine

My name is August West, and I love my pretty babies, more than my wife

[LeftishBrit]

16. When I was small, we used to sing a hymn at school assembly..

'Jesus bids us shine, with a pure clear light/ Like a little candle burning in the night.'

For ages, I thought it was 'Jesus Spencer's shine, with a pure clear light', etc. I thought it was an advert for some sort of polish that one could buy at Jesus Spencer's shop: presumably a bit like Marks and Spencers, but more holy.

My friend thought that the song line: 'You don't have to say you love me; just be close at hand' was 'You don't have to say I'm lovely, just because I am!' I still prefer her version!

I thought the line in 'Groovin', 'You and me endlessly' was about a threesome between 'You and me and Elsie'. And that 'Forever in blue jeans' was 'Reverend Blue Jeans': some sort of trendy spiritual leader.

17. Love 'em all!

[Coventina]

18. "Give me an iron lung" instead of "Bring me a higher love"

"Olives for sale" instead of "Our lips are sealed"

The second one was by my friend.

19. I've posted about this before...

but my sister used to mess up the lyrics to Bruce Springsteen's I'm On Fire. Instead of "...cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my soul," she would say, "...cut a six-inch BELLY through the middle of my STOVE." I have never let her forget that!

[jcgoldie]

20. I'll never be your pizza burnin'!

Scuse me while I kiss this guy!
