- ChicagoBoy11 4y agoooof but the syllables don't match! It didn't make your brain hurt??? you just stretched out the -'ing'?
- ask_b123 4y agoI can hear head waving by ignoring the we're (pretty easy to do). Stretching the -ing is even easier. Oooo-uh head waveang
- jerf 4y agoThe term for this is mondegreen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen The ones I still hear despite knowing the correct lyrics are the first itemized one in the bullet list in that article, "there's a bathroom on the right". My personal favorite one though is "I want to rock and roll all night, and part of every day" (instead of "party every day"), mostly because unlike most mondegreens it sort of works, but changes this confident declaration of desire into a bizarrely flaccid one. (Listening directly to the audio in a pristine listening environment like I'm in now I don't hear this, but in a normal day-to-day environment with other life happening I can still hear this.)

- unzadunza 4y agoHa! This is another one of mine, but I had thought, for a while, that it was 'hey there Rodrigo'

- mooreds 4y agoOh wow! I used to think it was "invisible tough shed", instead of "invisible touch, yeah"
