Mis-hearing lyrics slide . . .

That's called a mondegreen.

Look it up; many amusing examples.

Mis-hearing lyrics slide . . .

From a friend who heard Garth Brooks say,

I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases

My blues away, and I'll be ok

I'm not big on SAUSAGE GRAVY

Think I'll slip on down to the Oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places

Mis-hearing lyrics:

Listening to oldies in the car one day years ago with my daughter..
“Hang on Sloopy” starts playing.

“Sloopy, I don’t care what your daddy do (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
‘Cause you know, Sloopy, girl, I’m in love with you”

My daughter says, “Doesn’t sound like he loves her. He keeps calling her “stupid”.
