Favourite mondegreen

Not sure if there is a mondegreen thread on here already (I searched and did'nt find)

 

Anyone got a favourite/funny/silly/better than the real words mondegreen ?

Our land abounds with nature strips of beauty rich and rare...

Maybe in the more posh suburbs - our nature strips were just grass, verged with cement, ha ha.

 

I went from God save the Queen to Advance Australia fair, and then in my teens back to God save the Queen, but a "Punkier" version, you might say, ha ha.
