  There's a classic Peter Kay clip on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ukn2YT5jeM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ukn2YT5jeM - which exploits how succeptible we are to suggestion when it comes to mondegreens. Warning: Kay has a strong Northern English accent and heavily uses local idioms so I hope the humor isn't lost on an international audience.

    Actually Peter Kays accent is not that strong like wise Jasper Carrots Birmingham accent is not the full Yam Yam "black country" dialect. BTW black country refers to the mines in the rural areas near Birmingham and not to race. And I wont mention the accents in peaky blinders :-)
