h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Contributions eagerly awaited!

hmm?

Have you written an entry on them? or would you like to hear some?

If the former, where is it? If the latter - try http://www.h2g2.com/askh2g2

Sorry, I just suffered a premature Senior's Moment there and posted it to the wrong conversation. Have a look at A435025: Mondegreens.

I didn't know if you wanted me to clutter up your Guide Entry, but you should visit [URL Removed by moderator]. All the mondegreens you want, plus you can submit your own.

It's a little problem that I have as well, so I feel your pain!

Yes. I've got two.

1) Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Does "Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard" ring any bells for you?

2) Rolling Stone's "Painted Black" (could've got the title wrong). "I see a rickshaw and I want it painted black." I think it's supposed to be a "red door" rather than a "rickshaw".

There's more of them at http://www.h2g2.com/A249842

Ok here are 3/4 I know of ....

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody contains something about "he's just a poor boy from a poor family sparing his life with his PORK SAUSAGES". Can't remember the exact lines preceding it.

Queen - One Vision most of the end part seems to replace "One Vision" with "FRIED CHICKEN"

Police - So Lonely. Of course this is a classic title about TV news broadcaster "Sue Lawley". Then in either the 1st or 2nd verse contains the line "A year has passed since I broke my nose" (wrote my note).
