What are some of your favorite "mondegreens"?

Asked by janbb (62859points) March 20th, 2015

A mondegreen is a word or a phrase misheard and misinterpreted from a song or saying. “Gladly, the cross-eyed bear” is a famous one. Today I finally heard some lyrics correctly. I always thought the line from “Under the Boardwalk” was “And the sand was so hot you wish your tired feet would file through.” Today I finally heard that it’s “you wish your tired feet were fire proof!” Makes much more sense. What have you misheard?
