I had an issue like that with Madonna's "Chop a gooly, island sun". The most famous is, of course, The Beatles' "The Girl With Colitis Goes By". Or, if you want to go back a century and a half, "Gladly, my cross-eyed bear". MST

For myself, mostly I find that I can either hear the lyrics correctly, or I can't make 'em out. I don't seem to suffer from `mondegreens' as I've read they're called. Well, not very often... "'scuse me while I kiss the sky" is what I've always thought. I don't know if it's relevant, but certainly I could hear *above* 20kHz in my right ear when I was in my early 20s (the other ear's not so good - I think it got damaged by the brass section I used to sit next to when playing the flute in the band. It was /nearly/ as good at basic high frequency response back then, but had lousy noise rejection). Now I'm 43, my eyes and ears are nothing like as useful as they once were. But I can still hear higher pitched sounds than my (younger) wife, as well as detect bass at lower levels[1]. Which is exactly the opposite of an advantage, because I get disturbed by noises that hardly anyone else notices at all. Yes I can hear that bloody `mosquito' noise thingy they've developed to drive away teenagers... Rowland. (who grew up with hi-fi speakers of extraordinary clarity. And he's got an even better pair now) [1] I do have a pair of bollocks, but I walk on two legs, don't have a tail, and there's no fur all over me. I'm pretty sure I'm human and not canine. -- Remove the animal for email address: rowland.mcdonnell(a)dog.physics.org Sorry - the spam got to me http://www.mag-uk.org http://www.bmf.co.uk UK biker?
