@Scraggy333 I never heard the thing and wasn't sure if it was real lyrics or not. So now I saw the video for Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65. Frankly it seems like they never got around to writing any lyrics anyhow so what the heck. Make them up.

@geezerbill Thanks. Actually he is one author that answers email so he informed me of this fact. I just have to find those books.
Still it was goofy when I was being toilet trained there was a new song on the radio called "Let it Be" - but relating it to my infant existence I took it as "Let it Pee" - I also had no idea I was listening to one of the last hits of one of the greatest bands ever.

@UglySean, yes there were two follow-up books: "When a Man Loves a Walnut" and "He's Got The Whole World In His Pants". I think the first book was the best of the 3, but the other two had some really good mondegreens.

@geezerbill That book is hillarious but sad, realizing that there are so many clueless in the world who just don't listen or artists who are incoherent singers. It was with that book where I first heard the term Mondegreens. From 1995 by Gavin Edwards. I wonder if he ever made a sequel. I'm a guy, I'm a bee, ad nauseum. I don't know that song. What is it really trying to say?

these are really funny, especially knocking on Evans door.

@Scraggy333 I thought it was "Im blue, like the sea , like thesky,like the sea,like the sky...:" xD

Oh god I will never be able to sing Love Shack at karaoke the same way again...

Haha, when I was younger, I always thought that in the song "I'm Blue", instead of him singing "I'm Blue, Dabadee Dabadie" and so on, I thought it was "I'm Blue, I believed I would die, I believed I would die, I believed I would die!" xD
The jokes one me. ;D
Awesome adding of Hugh the Borg. :D

I saw a lot of these mondegreens in the book "'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy", which I bought back in the mid 90s.
