"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:

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
