Hi again

Just a quick update: The Jimmy Hendrix song I mentioned was Purple Haze, The other one was Blinded by the Light (I think, but that was the beginning of the chorus).

I apologise now if anyone is offended by the lyrics in some of the songs in the Mondegreen site - I checked the site after I posted the thread.

And the quote from the site about the misheard folk song:

'The term "mondegreen" can be attributed to a 1954 Atlantic article by Sylvia Wright. In the article, she wrote of a folk song she thought contained the lyrics "They had slain the Earl of Moray/And Lady Mondegreen." It took her years to discover that she had been wrong; the lyrics had actually been "They had slain the Earl of Moray/ And laid him on the green." '
