Joe Cocker, interpreted...

Finally, after 40 years, someone has opened the vault and revealed the

answer to a question that has clawed at our brains since the 1969 Woodstock

album was released: What the hell were the lyrics to Joe Cocker's version

of 'A Little Help From My Friends'?

He was so wigged-out and loopy on a multitude of drugs, no one has been able

to understand his garbled, mush-mouth version...

..until now!

FINALLY IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR!

Google "mondegreen(s)" and you'll find plenty of lists. The term was coined by a writer in a Harper's Magazine article, who as a little girl, heard a 17th c. ballad "The Bonny Earl O' Murray" and heard the phrase "They hae slain the Earl Amurray... And laid him on the green" and thought it was "They hae slain the Earl Amurray.... And Lady Mondegreen". No one else had a term for these particular malapropisms, so she called them "mondegreens".

As Ken alluded to above, one of the more famous ones is Jimmy Hendrix's "Scuse me... while I kiss this guy".

One of my favorites is Credence Clearwater Revials, "There's a bathroom on the right"

years ago i travelled with a bunch of canadians, among others. they kept asking me who fat canada heywood was and why aussies didn't like him. i had no idea until we finally worked it out - an old aussie song - 'she don't like that kind of behaviour'.
