    Today’s strip is brought to you by the word mondegreen. Mondegreens: because what you thought they sang is better than what they actually sang.

    A serious responsibility. Like, I finally paid close attention to this old Genesis song and realized I had no idea what this one word was. Undinal.

    (warbling off key) “747 fallin’ out of the sky. Let me take you off on a miiiiiiiidnight ride…” Thank you. And now my encore; a Beatles standard I’m sure you’ll love! “Paaaaay for my Chrysler…” The sad part is I was a DJ in college at the time.

    When my son was very little, I used to play “Yellow Submarine” for him. Once as a joke I changed it to “purple tangerine”. He got absolutely livid and snapped “Sing it right!”

    HAHA!! This one makes me laugh because it is SO ME!!! :D My kids/siblings always make fun of me. Also, my husband is from Switzerland, so English is his second language and sometimes he can’t understand the lyrics. Our favorite is when he thought the song, “Replay” said, “…like my eyeball stuck on a plate” rather than, “… like my ipod stuck on replay”. HAHA!! We still sing the song that way!!

    Tangerines do not go jingle, jangle, jingle. Unless you’re already totally stoned, in which case the whole song is superfluous.

    No one’s ever figured out what Steve Miller was singing in “The Joker” when he “speaks of the pompitous of love.”

    I had trouble with The Israelites by Desmond Dekker & the Aces. Thought it sounded like “get up every morning sleeping for breakfast.” Apparently it’s “get up every morning, slaving for bread, sir.”
