mondegreen

ˈmɒndəgriːn/

noun

1. a misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing of the lyrics of a song.

I thought the line in the chorus of Fancy by IGGY was "Can't you taste this scone?" instead of "Can't you taste this gold?"

I never questioned it though because it made sense to me. Scones are hella fancy.

It got me thinking though, what other misheard lyrics are there? Well I scoured the best of twitter and found out for you. Here they are, wonderfully brilliant.
