A recent post on Edinburgers has just put me in the mind of these...anyone got any amusing misheard names/lyrics (mondegreens) that I might not have heard before?

My friend insisted to everybody that the famous Fat Boy Slim song was "praise you like a sheep".
My friend :P

My little sister ([livejournal.com profile] suziesue) once misheard Jimi Hendrix's "Spanish Castle Magic" as "Spam, Spam, it's magic".

My sis always thought the line for Purple Haze was "Excuse me while I kiss this guy".

She also used to think that Elvis song was about a guy living "in a kettle".

Does the fact that at first I read your title as "amusing honeymoon problems" count? No? That's just bleary-eyed momentary dyslexia, I guess.

I mishear song lyrics all the time, but nothing particulary amusing leaps to mind. I like how everyone else who has commented so far has told you about their friend or sister, though... *laughs* "I have this friend..."

remember madonna's "ray of light"? the line that goes something like "and I feel .."? that always sounded to me like "anna friel" (which isn't necessarily a bad thing to be singing about, really ;)
