It's time for another challenge!

Blinded by the Light from The Best of Manfred Mann

This song has driven me nuts for the last 30 years because of the lyrics.  I could have sworn that he was singing "wrapped like a douche, another rumor in the night" and not only is that nonsensical, it's just flat out disgusting.   I actually only learned this year what the actual lyrics were, thanks to Am I Right, a site devoted to commonly misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens).

So your challenge tonight--if you choose to accept it--is to link to songs with your mondegreens...tell us, do you hear "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" when you listen to Hendrix?

What other song lyrics do you mishear?

Can you help us out?
