I love this Mondegreen concept. I had a very recent one listening to Mary Chapin Carpenter's "what if We Went to Italy." I heard the next line as: "With a suitcase of books, and one bag of peas for the summer..." Well, OK. I was really trying to get into my own context around that....and coming up with some interesting but weird stuff...luckily, someone gave me some sheet music - ah! Love this site and blog!
Morgan, PhDiva!
Ahh,Morgan,that's a good one, but how would you keep the books from mushing the peas?
Glad you like the blog. I hope you'll come back and visit us lots and lots!
