W(TF) Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 "A mondegreen is the mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase, typically a standardized phrase such as a line in a poem or a lyric in a song, due to near homophony, in a way that yields a new meaning to the phrase." Well, I searched and found no threads. So whatcha got?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
W(TF) Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 for example... "You've got a blue asshole." (blue eyed soul) Or "He had a black guy, he was proud of. Like some of his friends" (black eye, UT) I know, I know...we can do better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chaslor Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 My wife initially thought that Jeff was saying 'I'm a-sassin' down the avenue' as opposed to I assassin. When she learned the truth, she said that she never thought Jeff was the sassy kind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JessieOK Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 "our love is all we gots honey..." Nothing too crazy. But now that I know what the line actually is, it makes a lot more sense. Jeff Tweedy doesn't seem like the sort to use a phrase like "gots", even in the interest of poetry and song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 "our love is all we gots honey..." Ditto, Im sure I'll think of more. Love the classic, "Excuse me while I KISS THIS GUY" from jimi though lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
