What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

roberjerman,
That's a great Airplane song, but the words actually go:
Lather was 30 years old today, they took away all of his toys. His mother sent newspaper clippings to him about his old friends who'd stopped being boys. 
I had never heard the term mondegreen. Comes from a Scottish ballad:

Ye heilands and ye lowlands,
O whaur hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl o' Murray,
And laid him on the green;

with "him on the green" being misheard as mondegreen.
