Thanks for playing the Chris Isaak song. In the trivia segment, it was Julian Cope that was in the Teardrop Explodes.
Posted by: Dave at January 31, 2006 9:24 AMI love the idea of a misheard lyrics coverville. I remember a female comedian talking about guys singing lyrics in her ear wrong while they danced,
"free beans, nothing more than free beans"
Posted by: Chris from the Amateur Travaler podcast at January 31, 2006 6:28 PMI believe, one time in my travels, I heard someone refer to the misheard lyrics phenom as "chronic lyricosis".
Posted by: Will J ... from My Trivia Podcast at February 1, 2006 4:30 AMThe 'proper' name for a misheard lyric is a mondegreen.
I learnt this from a music/comedy quiz show in Australia called 'Spicks and Specks' which has a segment called 'Mondegreens', where a misheard lyric is read out, and the contestants have to answer with the correct lyric and song.
Wikipedia also has an article on mondegreens, and has links to sites containing many mondegreens.

Thanks Aaron
P.S. Also on the Spicks and Specks theme do you have any covers of the Bee Gees song 'Spicks and Specks'.
Posted by: Aaron at February 1, 2006 7:37 AMSteve Ball's Naive Melody is AMAZING. I have listening to it 4 times in a row already. Thanks for the great tune Brian.
Posted by: imelda at February 1, 2006 8:00 AMMy favorite Mondegreen is "chug-a-lug, strawberry man, it's making me crazy."
Anyone wanna guess this one before I give you the real lyric?
Posted by: brian at February 1, 2006 8:29 AMI can't do the whistle but ... Jungle love????
Posted by: Will - My Trivia Podcast at February 1, 2006 10:06 AMOr the song my wife thought that the lyrics were, "There's a bathroom on the right"
Posted by: 3-Pin at February 2, 2006 5:11 AMIn high school a song came on the radio that my husband liked and his friend commented on what a dumb song it was. He said "To Heck With Ed and His Dog Harold" was just a stupid name for a song. After he stopped laughing my husband filled him in on what the title really was: "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
