Samuel, you've got it wrong. It's the wrong lyrics out of the secret tags, the right lyrics in. Why would a ghost ever go to a hangman? :P

This is a little late but I just found this one:
from the Tuttles comic strip by Sam White
Phydeaux:Jack Frost nipping at your nose/Tater tots with their eyes all aglow/Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
Phydeaux:It was smart of the lyricist to use "taters" there 'cause they've got eyes. Any other vegetable wouldn't make sense.

Ah, thanks for revealing the true lyric to that one; I knew it couldn't really be "Take me to the power plant". :P And a friend of mine in college, Paul, heard the same line as "Take me to the castle".

Here are a couple of silly ones that were the way I used to hear certain songs when I was much younger:

"Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic foods,
He believed in lovin' peas...."

I think this one is fairly well known to those familiar with the song:

"I'm blue, I'm need of a guy."

I'm amazed that this thread is still going strong after all these years. Anyway, here's a mondegreen for any fellow nordics on this forum:

"Han är inte en mössa, inte bräcklig och svag som dig..." Translation: He's not a toque, he's not fragile and weak like you are.

I recently realized this one since I am performing the song in question soon:

I had my music on random and had to back it up when I thought I heard this, "And when your cigarette heart cannot speak so easily..."

I always thought Jimmy Cash was talking about Reverend Bloogins (in the song of the same name of course)

I can't believe I just found this out today.

I always thought Winter Wonderland went:
"Later on, we'll perspire
as we dream by the fire"

Instead it's "Later on, we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
to face unafraid the plans that we've made
walking in a winter wonderland"

Heh! In sweden there is a Christmas song about a particular day eleven days before Christmas. And you sing "Eleven days before Christmas" (elva nätter före jul), but when I was little I thought you sang "The fairy eats before Christmas" (älvan äter före jul).

Admiral Halsey notified me.
He had to have a bath
or he couldn't get to sea.



Apparently he had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea.
