Subject: RE: any new mondegreens?
Two I remember from my teenage years ....Donovan's "Catch the Wind" was immortally rendered by a friend who heard "Our ears put together counted thirty", and the same friend taught me her version of "Pretty Peggy-O" which had the memorable image of the "troop of Irish lagoons". My sister used to sing the famous Adam Faith song "Send a messy tomato" (message to Martha).
