When I was about 5, I misheard the Frankie Vallie song "My Eyes Adored You" as "My Eyes of Gerogia" That was much too funny to my mother and she never let me forget my error. A few years later when Neil Diamond did the song "Forever In Blue Jeans" she thought she could trick me by singing it as "For Reverand Blue Jeans" but I never fell for it. I'm 38yo now and she still occasionally reminds me of it and she told my husband the story so he does it too. He's a dj so you can imagine the fun he has with misheard lyrics.
