15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit

1. This mondegreen by Jimi Hendrix is almost universally considered the most popular and widespread misheard lyric of them all. Rocker Ozzy Osbourne has even confessed to getting this lyric wrong for many years. Which is the correct lyric?

'Scuse me while it's Christmastime

'Scuse me while I kiss this guy

'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

'Scuse me while I crystalize

2. The Steve Miller Band was a goldmine of mondegreening, thanks to his often unorthodox rhymes. One of the more widespread ones is also one of the most inexplicable ones, considering the fact that the misheard line actually contained the song's title, which should have been readily evident to anyone paying any attention at all! Which is the correct lyric?

Oh, oh big ol' Jed arrow ladder

Oh, oh big ol' jet left a light on

Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner

Oh, oh big ol' Jed left a light on

3. Mondegreens are not limited to rock n' roll songs. Even the American national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner," has been mangled horribly through the years. Which is the correct lyric?

Jose, can you see

Oh say can you see

Hose a can you seed

Oh say can Jews sing

4. You don't even need a song to come across mondegreens. The American Pledge of Allegiance has been getting mangled in schoolrooms across America for decades. What is the correct line?

And to the republican Richard Stans

And two theatre pubs can wither sand

And to the republic for which it stands

Salmon Dave

Fleetwood Mac

Auntie Gibb

Hollow Notes

6. "Blinded by the Light," a song penned by Bruce Springsteen but made most popular by Manfred Mann, is quite possibly the most mangled song in history. Which of these is the correct lyric?

Wrecked Danny Bonaduce, on the bun he is the light

Racked up like a douche, another rumor in the night

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

Wrapped up like a dish, another runner in daylight

7. "Blinded by the Light" is so rich with mondegreens that it deserves more than one question in this quiz. Which of these lyrics is correct?

And little girlie Pearly gave my anus curly whirly

And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly

And litter early, purty, can buy Amos curly woolies

And little early birdie fly Hyannis curely worry

8. Singer Stevie Nicks, of Fleetwood Mac fame, was not exactly crisp with her delivery of lyrics, leading to many mondegreens. Which of these lines is the actual lyric for the song "Edge of Seventeen"?

Just like the wide window

Just like the white-winged dove

Just like the one-wing dog

Just like the wild one does

9. Lyrics that are not quite grammatically sound often lead to misinterpretation of the lyrics. Which of these are the correct lyrics for Elton John's "Rocket Man"?

Rocket man, burning up in space out here alone

Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

Rocket man, burning up the trees on every lawn

10. Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" yielded several good mondegreens, thanks to the operatic style of parts of the song and some strange words that appear in it. Which of these actually belongs in the song?

The halls of poop has a devil put inside of me

The algebra has a devil for a sidekick, eeeeeeeeee....

Big Al's a boob, has the devil put a sack on me
