… I fought the law and the law won."

“I’ll never leave your pizza burnin’” (got that one here, I think:D)

and my all-time favorite, “There’s a bathroom on the right!”

All of those are mis-understood song lyrics and we’ve done threads on these before, but what I wanna know is what that mistake is called.

I heard a bit of Word To The Wise on NPR a little while ago, but my cell phone rang just when that lady was naming that grammatical error.

So what do we call that, and do y’all have any more?

Thanks

and “all that is left is the pantyhose (Band of Gold)…”

and “Me and you and a doggie poo…” (Dog named Boo)

Don’t forget “…Big old jet had a light on…”

Oh, oh, my ears are alight.

Sadly, the “The Ants Are My Friends” site is no longer up; the only mondegreen link I could find is to Jon Carroll’s columns.
