I've been lurking and been somewhat intimidated by the brilliance and wit of this thread. But hell, I have some brilliance and wit occasionally myself, so what the hell.
Thanks Merle for the mondegreens. I always read them excitedly, and then am disappointed that nobody hears what I hear. But since I mishear pretty much everything, that should not surprise me. Elton John is my number one singer for being incomprehensible. Did you get those from Jon Carroll? He's the sh**.

Muffin recipes? I've got a great oatmeal bar recipe that'll keep you going all morning. Are we not allowed to post muffin recipes here? That's a rule I'd gladly break, for the greater good
Postperson, can we be friends?
Try Eddie Vedder. Just one shot at Jeremy will give you plenty.

Let's have one of coffee dude serving us while we all misinterpret lyrics.

Excuse me,I've just been lurking a little and trying to catch up.
Sinsboldly,the mondegreens are hilarious 
Didn't know about the connection to a Scottish ballad.
Here are some more(mondegreens that is,not Scottish ballads)
Gypsies,Tramps and Thieves,
The people come around to lay their money down
misheard
Gypsies,Chimpanzees
The people come around to lay their monkey down
I believe in miracles,where ya from,you sexy thing
- I believe in Malcolm,wear yer bra,you sexy thing
I said Young Man,I was once in your shoes
-I said Yummy,I was watching your shoes
By coincidence,I'd started a thread in the Random forum on misheard lyrics.Got a few
funny examples there as well

Hey all, is it safe for me to stick my head back over the parapet yet?
I didn't mean to stir things up so much. Can I still come in? 
I'll sit quietly in the corner with a cup of hot chocolate, Aspie style

Call it anything you like. I think we had a few terms around here that would be pretty good. If you don't like em, just wait a sec things roll along pretty well here, something else will show up. They can only flame you if you flame back
It's called baiting. heart and soul of any good flame war. people like it and keep adding more fuel to the fire.feelings get hurt, mistakes are made and nothing a good cup of coffee and a little soul searching and kind words can't fix. There is always someone someplace in the world that won't like you, it happens, it's the way it is. here we're human and aspie, we miss things sometimes, don't see things that are pretty plain to others sometimes, but yeah the hard truth is, someone someplace isn't going to like me. That's ok too, I probably shoot better then they do
yeah, maybe you explain all that to CC.
Not up to me to explain anything. That doesn't sound how I search my soul. I see some of my really dark things about myself, somethings I still go into denial about. I try to work a little on those. I really would like to be a nicer person. I hope I see whan some of the blame lays squarely with me and I try not to beat myself up anymore over it. But I see them and I admit them. I can do that now, if I couldn't, I'd still be drinking myself to death.

Hey you!! I've missed you.
Rules? What rules?!?! OMG, there are rules here? Red alert, red alert.
"You can get anything you want, at Alices resteraunt, excepting Alice." Umm don't think i got that right and why couldn't Alice get what she wanted?

Oh you bad, bad thing. Shall we have a little Offspring for the occasion?
Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guys colors and the others don't mix
They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up...
Hey - man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play
By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...
Okay. Mondegreen away. Offspring lends itself to that. This was probably previously Mondegreened!

LOL Everyone in my office now thinks so as well. They came over this morning and said, So what is he going to sing you today?
Woops!
At least he sings well! If it had been my voice they would have died laughing.
