Subject: T-shirt design #1 - PLEASE: Suggest "traditional" misheard song lyrics

Written By: ChuckyG on 01/27/05 at 12:10 pm

it doesn't have to be on amiright (though it should be!), but I want the best, funniest misheard lyrics from songs that are over 100 years old.  Folk songs, and Christmas songs, maybe the US National Anthem.  White Christmas isn't fair game unforunately, but O Tannenbaum would be.

If you're unsure, don't worry, I'm sure if it's not acceptable we can mark it as such.

I figure I'll use anywhere from 5 to 10 entries.  I'd like tons to pick from (without going through the archives myself)

Well, these won't pass the censor, but they're on AmiRight, and they made me laugh!

Traditional's, "Angels We Have Heard On High" 
Misheard Lyrics:
Gloria, Inspect Chelsea's gay hole.
Correct Lyrics:
Gloria, In excelsis deo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traditional's, "Angels We Have Heard On High" 
Misheard Lyrics:
Gloria...Estefan is gay, oh!
Correct Lyrics:
Gloria...In excelsis Deo!

Now maybe THIS one, which is also on AmiRight, will pass muster:

Traditional's, "Angels We Have Heard On High"
Misheard Lyrics:
Gloria in eggshells these days, oh.
Correct Lyrics:
Gloria, in Excelsis Deo.
