Thread Name: Children's Misheard Lyrics
Subject: RE: Children's Misheard Lyrics
So, when I was little and heard the song
"Twinkle, twinkle little star,
how I wonder what you are"

I thought, "What do you mean, "how I wonder what you are"? You just said it was a star!

And Burl Ives sang "The sow took the measles and she died in the spring"
I had a visual image of a dead pig in a giant coil.....

I have been misinterpreting things ever since!
