Re: Mondegreens: Stop the Cat Box?
Do you mean "Band on the Run" by PM&W, or is that a different song?[/QUOTE]
It's "at your desire," but I used to think it was "joy, desire," which still sort of makes sense, doesn't it?
ETA: OMG ... I was just goofing around on KissThisGuy.com, and found out I have had the lyrics to a popular Doors song wrong for almost 40 years. Aaaaagh!
Not only that, but a few months ago I actually *corrected* someone else who had the lyrics wrong, and now that person thinks the lyrics are the wrong ones I gave him!
Edited again: OK, I did some research, and the way Morrison sings the lyric on the album does match what I thought he sang, but their record label made them change the liner notes so the lyric doesn't make a drug reference. So if you look up the lyrics online, the first line of "L.A. Woman" is wrong. He does, in fact, sing "Well, I did a little down(er) about an hour ago."
This begs the question ... why would the label want to change only that lyric? Did they not know about all the Doors' other lyrics? Jeez ...

Another good one, from the 80s: "I'm your Venus.. I'm your fire, your desire"
