Countries in misheard Song lyrics
« on August 07, 2016, 02:23:07 pm by Donnywolf »
I will start another "potentially" humorous thread to ease the pain of our first defeat

Name song lyrics with Countries in them but not such as Born in the USA or From Russia with love

Here's one :

All I need is a little love in my life
All I need is a little love in the dark
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start
Myanmar broken heart

Admittedly the country doesn't have that name now but "Are you reeling in Zaire."

Years ago, if you didn't know the lyrics, you could go for years, either humming the bit you didn't know, or getting it wrong, until somebody took the p..s.

From "Long Black Veil" (performed by many a country artist, most notably by Johnny Cash:

A long time ago, Monaco-ld, dark night,
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall lights

I recently found out that amazingly and brilliantly there is a more or less accepted technical word in the literary world for a misheard lyric from a song or poem, namely a 'Mondegreen'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen

Reminds me that decades ago I tried to create a word (withagram) for a two word anagram pair with a realistic meaning (e.g. oriental relation, ocean canoe, argentine tangerine, continued unnoticed.....I have a list of hundreds), and although it was published in a very obscure magazine it never caught on  :(
