Misheard song lyrics

I was young when Dean Martin sang That’s Amore and, because I’d never had a pizza, thought the first lines were
“When the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie.”

Not sure if the story is true but I'd heard that they changed the original title of In the Garden of Eden because no one could figure it out.

And of course nobody anywhere knew what the hell these guys were saying.

For those interested, here's the version with the actual lyrics.

The Rolling Stones', "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"
Misheard Lyrics:
And I'm trying to make some girl pregnant
Original Lyrics:
And I'm trying to make some girl who tells me...

"Bad Moon on the Rise" misheard as "Bathroom on the right"

"revved up like a deuce , another runner in the night" misheard as "woke up with a douche bag in the middle of the night"

The Northern Ontario heavy parties at Springhurst were full of surprises. They all drank heavily at the time, one of them was a transvestite, no one was fazed by that. Most of them were Zappa fans and they misheard one of his songs that stayed with me till recently:

Actual lyrics:
He was whippin up the batter
For the pancakes for his flock

Their lyrics:
He was whippin up the batter
For the pancakes with his cock

They sort of had a point, Father Bivion Oblivion's pancakes were light and fluffy white.

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky.

Believe it or not.

Slow talking Walter the fire engine guy.

LMAO! Seriously?

It's called a Mondegreen. The term comes from an old Scottish song that has the lyrics "laid him on the green" and was misheard as Lady Mondegreen.

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze: "Excuse me while I kiss the sky"

Misheard as "Excuse me while I kiss this guy"

Patsy Cline You belong to me.
"See the sunrise on a crocodile"

"See the sun rise on a tropic isle."

It was a true rocker in a much more innocent time.

One the most beautiful pop songs from the 80s is While You See A Chance by Steve Winwood. Whenever he sang "when some sad old dream reminds you..." to me it always sounded like he was saying "when some sodomy reminds you...". To this day it still sounds like my original interpretation...just heard it a few days ago in fact. Obviously it is all in the phrasing LOL.
