I love Mondegreens. :)

I created a new one of these last night... The kids were watching (what else?) cartoons in the other room when a commercial came on plugging some Christmas music. Some choir sang "Oh Tannenbaum" but in my head I heard "Oh Tal-i-ban"...

Sounds like a great opportunity for a humorous parody to me...

There's one that I SWEAR sounds like something it shouldn't. In the Beatles' early classic "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", there is a verse that goes "love...I can't hide", and it sounds more like "I get high" to me.

I'd give it a shot (suuuure, you would, dave), but I can't remember the original (I dropped out at 8)

Heh...these are pretty good. Best one in my opinion is Jimi Hendrix's phrase! Can't imagine why it's only third...
