Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
This subject came up today when a family member told me that for the longest time they thought it was "Calling occupants of interplanetary crap" instead of craft. It got me thinking about what other Carpenters lyrics I had misheard over the years. One I thought of was on "Sweet Sweet Smile" I thought that the line that says "I wanna feel your arms around me" was actually " I have a fear your're on the run."
I also did some internet research about misheard lyrics and found that the term for this phenomenon is "mondegreens." There are whole websites dedicated to these "mondegreens." Some of the one for Carpenters songs are pretty hilarious. Here is a link to one of the sites I found: http://www.kissthisguy.com/
I also wondered if the rest of you had any funny or interesting misheard lyrics examples to share. Anyone?
