Mondegreens

A mondegreen is a series of words that you mistakenly hear as another series ofwords (Isle of Ewe instead of I Love You). Snopes has an article on Christmas carol mondegreens that they have had submitted. Some of my favorites:
  • Joy to the world! The Lord has gum!
  • Round John Virgin, margarine child; Holy imbecile, tender and mild.
  • Chipmunks roasting on an open fire.
  • Good King Wences' car backed out On the feet of heathens.
What made me laugh today...

Pass along to someone you love!
