Line 126:
* [[Kings Of Leon]] has an intentional aversion/backstory example in ''Sex on Fire'', one of their biggest hits. The [[Word Salad Lyrics]] originally featured "Set Us On Fire" as the chorus, but ''everybody'' would Mondegreen it as "Sex on Fire". According to [[The Other Wiki]], one of the sound mixers came in and said, "Sex on fire, huh?" It became a running joke, and eventually the group not only changed the lyrics, but made it the album title track.
* The Peter, Paul, and Mary song "Leaving on a Jet Plane" inspired the Pinkard and Bowden parody "Libyan on a Jet Plane".
* "There's a bad moon on the rise" (Credence Clearwater Revival) was prone enough to mondegreen as "there's a bathroom on the right" that [[Bob Rivers]] actually recorded a parody of the song under that title.
* "Wrapped up like a douche" ("Revved up like a deuce" (coupe) in the Manfred Mann's Earth Band version of [[Bruce Springsteen]]'s ''Blinded By The Light'')
* "Loaded guns in your face" ([[Billy Joel]], "Pressure") can easily be misheard as "lonely cunts", something [[Moral Guardians|which can't be said]] on the radio. Likewise, "Play that funky music, white boy" (Wild Cherry) is easy to mistake for "play that f-cking music right, boy."
