There is, or maybe was, a website about commonly misheard song lyrics. I always wondered why Creedance Clearwater had a song called There’s a bathroom on the right. Actual title—There’s a bad moon on the rise. Going to that website I discovered that I was from from alone in hearing it that way.
When my dad would play his record of the score from South Pacific, I thought Mitzi Gaynor was singing “I’m just a cockeyed octopus”. So, I can relate. :)
Thanks, Robert, I had never heard of mondegreens before. For those curious, it comes from mishearing " Laid him on the green" (in death) as “Lady Mondegreen”.

The Hairy Angel is a good friend of Gladly the Cross-Eyed Bear.

I tell Bible stories to children and I usually speak in character. The narrator is an angel named "Hark"… He is the Herald Angel.

And here I thought the only angels allowed to sing were those named Harold…

Some (not me) heard Jimmy Hendrix sing “Scuse me while I kiss this guy”, and Sting walk in “Fields of Garlic” rather than barley.
