Cher: Gypsies tramps and thieves:
‘Every night all the men would come around, and lay my mamma down’ eeek.

ZM - think you're wrong there, the actual lyrics are " But every night all the men would come around, and lay their money down."

[maggiebee]

OOps, think I've got the wrong end of the stick with this post. Just ignore me!

When I was small we lived in a flat above a greengrocer's. Whenever Doris Day came on the wireless singing, 'Que sera, sera' I always thought that she was singing, 'The fruit shop's (future's) not ours to see.

[Eleena]

Ha ha Jack. I used to think Desmond Decker sang " me little red eyes" :0?

[The Builder]

Not strictly a mondegreen, but every time I try to enjoy Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself", I can't help but substitute Ed Sheeran's original lyric on the last line..............

"Oh baby, you should go and love yourself"

Substitute Sheeran's original word on the penultimate word as you please ;o)

[Jackdaw33]

The term derives from an old poem which contains the lines:
"They have slain the Earl of Atholl
And laid him on the green (Lady Mondegreen)"

50+ years on, i can still see the expression on my music master's face when he realised we were all singing 'cherry tripe' instead of 'cherry ripe'
