What :roll:

Ever listened to a song but thought the words sounded like :doh

Thats a Mondegreen

Right:We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Said the worst attorney

Wrong:We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning

As in the classic line from England Swings by Roger Whittaker which, as a child, I thought was "where's Mr. Abbey the Tarabic man"

Should be "Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben".

Sad I know but it still makes me smile when I hear it.

You should have come to Cant Sing practices..... nearly every song was one of these. But once the words are etched on your mind its difficult to remove them even with professional help!!
