Misheard Lyrics (mondegreens)

[mariac1966]

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics.

How to play:

The first person will post misheard lyrics to a line in a song
The next person will post the correct lyrics and the name of the song


Example:

If I posted "Blind Date by the light"

the next person would post the correct lyrics to this song - "Blinded By The Light," which is also the title of the song.

Okay!!! Is everyone ready :)

But that didn't mean he hadn't seen God through the blur of his mind's eye.
