"Amazing grapes how sweet and round that soon will raisins be"

Surely a Mondegreen? And I am not calling you Shirley! lol

There are some brilliant Mondegreens for sure. My latest misheard lyric was...

"Logs to burn, logs to burn, logs to save the coal a turn..."

which I thought was

"Logs to burn, logs to burn, logs to save the cold return"

You should start a thred on Mondegreens. I am sure it will get into the 100's at least :-)
