Thanks for forgiving me for butchering the title LOL! I meant to write, You picked a FINE Time to Leave Me Lucille. When in fact the title is simply, Lucille. I'm my mama's girl alright.I am laughing so hard at this!!

OMG, I heard that before! He sounds just like Pierre Trudeau and, somewhat, like Justin, too. LMAOApologies....but along the same lines....I remember trying to figure out why this song had the Prime Minister having three hundred children.

Thanks for bringing this one back. It brings a smile to my face, which is sorely needed this time of year.Seeing Stephen King's Twitter post about having thought KC and the Sunshine Band's lyric "Keep it comin' love" was "Keep it common law" for years reminded me that up until a week ago, I thought Marshall Tucker Band was singing "Purty little love song" when all these years they were singing "Heard it in a love song".
What lyrics have you misheard?......how long did it take to realize you were wrong?
When I was in middle school, I thought lyrics for Bennie and the Jets were:
She's got electric boobs (instead of boots)
I think my lyrics work better
Unless that was meant facetiously, it's not me who loves Bob Dylan. In fact, quite the opposite. Great lyrics, but let somebody else sing them, pleeeeeeeease.Hi!
I think it's Ms Moderator who LUVS Bob Dylan
'The ants are my friends, they're blowin' in the wind' ("The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind")
I read this and thought of our darling morgan
every time you go away you take a piece of meat with you (every time you go away you take a piece of me with you)
I want a piece of bacon ( I wanna be sedated) The Ramones

Not a misheard song lyric but definitely an eggcornGood evening.
Rather than start another thread..
Anyone know what eggcorn means?
Sir Bev Vincent?
Okay. I'll tell you what eggcorn means
egg·corn
ˈeɡkôrn/
noun
- a word or phrase that results from a mishearing or misinterpretation of another, an element of the original being substituted for one that sounds very similar or identical (e.g. tow the line instead of toe the line ).
Here is an example of an eggcorn
"all intensive purposes" when you mean "all intents and purposes."
Do you wonderful members have an eggcorn? Please share.
(And may the heavens help us don't EVEN ask what oronyms are.)
Thank you!
I see “beckon call” instead of “beck and call,” which is correct.Good evening.
