Favourite mondegreen

[enigmabear]

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 ?

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee

Blessed art thou among women ...

I used to think it was

Blessed art thou amongst the men

Suzi Quatro--- 48 Crash

I had a small  "Tranny"  (radio) with a poor quality speaker. (i think they all did)

"48 crash" sounded like "Fordie at Trash".

Just reading some of the songs listed with a single line I wonder if I am reading the mondegreen or the proper words.  For songs I don't know, without a comparison...um...lots of modern songs have lyrics that don't make sense.

Just remembered a story related by a disc jockey many years ago.  Apparently the radio station had a competition, where they would play the 'winning song' and whoever called in first and got the details correct would get prize.

On this occasion the winning song was '24 Hours from Tulsa' by Gene Pitney.

Unfortunately the lady who phoned in didn't win. 

Mind you, she was close (but no cigar) with: '24 Hours from Telstra'.
