OK, so I found this really stupid site . . .

I'm talking about hearing a word/phrase and thinking something else when you hear it. For instance, the most popular ones I can think of: Jimi Hendrix: It's, "'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky" - not "kiss this guy." CCR: "There's a bad moon on the rise." Not, "There's a bathroom on the right." Lots of them from the world of music and are due to singers with a bit of a lisp or a very specific method of delivering words. A friend pointed out that the "kiss this guy" bit applies to the Firefly theme, as well. "You can't take this guy from me." Not sure why I thought of this, but here's the one that got me a long time ago: Prima donna: I was probably 9 or 10 when I first heard this word. I thought I was hearing "pre-Madonna." Madonna was the paragon of cool back then, and I just assumed someone was being told they were outdated or, more simply, uncool. Guess I hadn't heard much Italian at that point. -------- Let's call today "STEVEthePIRATE's Bad Blonde Joke Day!" Blonde #1: Whoa! Look at that dog with one eye! Blonde #2: (turning around while covering one eye) Where?
