Tyler, there's been quite a bit of fooling around with mondegreens within the JMDL. Check out this link to the JMDL archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/joni@smoe.org/ and search for "mondegreen." You'll find a few things, including mention of our in-house shrink, Dr. Sig Mondegreen.
Here's one of my faves from the archives: From: Jamie Zubairi Subject: Corinthians Mondegreen Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 10:34:36 -0700 --------------------------------- well, all this talk about Kiss This Guy reminded me of a mondegreen that Iwas guilty of for a long time.In Joni's song 'Love' I always thought that she sang'Love - never looks for loveLove's not puffed up or envious or touchyBecause it rejoices in the truthNot in the nicotine'as opposed to 'not in iniquity'I thought that it sounded a little funny for a long time but accepted it asI knew of her penchant for smoking. It wasn't until I bought a copy of thealbum with the lyrics printed inside the tape cover and read through it.Zoob ----- I'm sure there's a treasure trove of mondegreens in the memories of JMDLers!
