Thread Name: any new mondegreens?
Subject: RE: any new mondegreens?
Heard a pub singer in Ireland sing Paper Roses.
In her version she sang "A hape (heap) of roses".
A cabaret singer we knew would do a very serious & dramatic version of Galway Bay, but instead of watching the "barefoot gossoons at their play", he was watching the barefoot goslings.
I never corrected him.
