In Dutch, we call it "Mama Appelsap" ("Mommy Apple Juice"), after the Rihanna song Don't Stop The Music, in which the bridge (which is apparently sampled from Michael Jackson who took it from Manu Dibango, TIL) sounds like that rather than ma-ma-ko-ssa.
Just like the "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" in Scarborough Fair. There are older versions where this verse ends in "...married in time" (I don't remember the rest). Someone propagated this song when music was primarily an oral tradition, and the erroneous version spread more than the correct one.
A mondegreen that I’ve been trying to get fixed for a while now:
In “Little Melancholy” by Tessa Rose Jackson, it’s written:
Call me conflicted, call me undone
I've been in rough water more than a monster
Older now I've learned everyone bleeds
A little broken, little melancholy
Call me conflicted, call me undone
I've been in rough water more than once
Still holding on, I've learned everyone bleeds
A little broken, little melancholy
“Excuse me while I kiss this guy”
Jimi Hendrix, Purple Haze
That's exactly what I thought of too lol
Youre excused
"She was a fax machine, she kept her modem clean."
She had the best damn baud rate that I'd ever seen.
Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a douche
Another runner in the night
What? It’s not wrapped up like a douche?
Deuce, apparently.
and 'revved up'
Dirty deeds and the thunder jeep!
I always heard "Dirty deeds in those dungarees"
For me, it was "Dirty deeds done with sheep" / "Dirty deeds and they're done with sheep"
That is an actual parody song though
News to me! I'll have to look it up.
No, its Dirty Deeds and the Dunder Chief.
Dirty deeds and they’re done Don sheep

In germany its "agathe bauer" as a mishearing of "ive got the power"
imho it should be called "Are those reebok or nike".
Nike, Reebok, Talbot kids
Under pressure! Pushing down on me, pressing down on you, you're an asshole
i literally have heard this all my life and my brain refuses to hear the actual lyrics.
I’m your penis, I’m your fire, your desire.
And if it was war she wouldn’t wear much more.
When Linkin Parks "In the End" came out, I misheard it as "Indian"
Let's hear it for New York, concrete jungle with green tomatoes.

Mondegreen is a mondegreen, got it.
Sweet, I added autological word to my vocabulary just in time to use it.
These threads are always filled with the same lyrics so let me add a new one:
My friend heard the first verse of Thunderstruck as "I was cold in the middle of the ringer of time"
I got a new one for you: until I was in my late 20s I thought the song was Caribou Queen instead of Caribbean Queen.
It totally sounds like caribou.
Is it the Rebook or Nike
From Night Fever by the BeeGees….
I got hair in my butt
I get higher in Milwaukee
I’m pooping in the dark in the morning
Got my first real sex thing
Out behind the five and dime
She sucked until my dick was red
Was the summer of “69”
Peter Kay's bit always has me in stitches.
HIlarious. I think by him saying it, your brain atunes to the words.
My fave
