Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to

HA! Pull out Dead Can Dance or Chocteau Twins. Try figuring those out. :-)

Nice try Lizzy.

If the claim in this YouTube video is to be believed, that "here for the first time ever are the true lyrics to The Kingsmen's version of the song Louie Louie," it was 44 years before someone figured out what they were saying.

According to this Wikipedia article the recording was investigated by the FBI amid allegations that it contained obscenities, and "after two years of investigation (they) concluded that the recording could not be interpreted, that it was 'unintelligible at any speed,' and therefore the Bureau could not find that the recording was obscene."

Audiowoman -- good one about Credence. Another possible interpretation would be "third bathroom on the right."

What about " A girl with colitis goes by"? I remember a article by William Safire in which he said that a friend had named these kind of mistakes "Mondegreens". This is from a misheard line from on of my favorite songs, the Scots ballad "The Bonney Earl of Morrey". It goes "They have slain the Earl of Morrey and laid him on the green" which was misheard as "They have slain the Earl of Morrey and Lady Mondegreen". I have found that as I have added room treatment the lyrics get clearer, in fact improving clearity is probably the most important measure I have in judging wheather I have improved it or not.

I googled Mondegreen and got this: http://www.fun-with-words.com/mala_mondegreens.html

Has some of the above and some other good ones.
