Just curious what stays with people...

Another line from a song I needed to decipher for everyone at the time ( the only line in the song ) : One of These Days from P.F. Meddle. No one could believe Nick Mason was saying " I'm going to cut you into little pieces ". Enjoy ! MrD.
Every time you go you take a piece of meat with you. 🎼🎼
@geoffkait Yes, another one. We should start a new thread on mondegreens......it is not just in music......Enjoy ! MrD.

"I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

You'd know what a drag it is to see you".

An interesting article on mondegreens, titled with the very same Hendrix reference we've been talking about:

https://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/science-misheard-lyrics-mondegreens

The article describes what is said to be the origin of the term, indicating that the word "mondegreen" is itself a mondegreen.

One more example that occurs to me:

"Secret Asian Man" -- Johnny Rivers
