The Notes and Scratches - “Baba O’Reilly” - Live at Subterranean 2006. We’ll see how The Who perform this tonight for the Super Bowl Halftime Show.  In the meantime, we have this dirty, filthy, gritty version to keep us company.  And a live Phil Lesh versionAnd an even liver Pearl Jam version.  I need to do a version that captures Moon’s drums right.

WOTD: mondegreen \MON-di-green\ , noun;

1. A word or phrase resulting from a misinterpretation of a word or phrase that has been heard.

Quotes: Mondegreens can be found in every area of the spoken word, from the record buyer who asks for a copy of the Queen single “Bohemian Rap City” to the schoolchild who is convinced that the Pledge of Allegiance begins “I led the pigeons to the flag.” — Gavin Edwards, ‘Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy: And Other Misheard Lyrics

There is something consoling about Web pages that collect “mondegreens.” Sites featuring these often hilarious examples of misheard song lyrics offer proof, at last, that botching the words to popular songs is a nearly universal human failing. — Pamela LiCalzi O’Connell, “Sweet Slips Of the Ear: Mondegreens”, New York Times, April 9, 1998

As we’ve observed, English is a slippery language, strewn with homonymic banana peels, slapstick mondegreens, and tongue twisters. Even fluent speakers of English constantly make mistakes. — Steve Rivkin and Fraser Sutherland, The Making of a Name: The Inside Story of the Brands We Buy

Origin: Mondegreen was coined by Sylvia Wright, US writer, from the line laid him on the green, interpreted as Lady Mondegreen, in a Scottish ballad.

“ 

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
’ Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!

 „
Rudyard Kipling’s “If—”. I’ve heard three people quote this in a week.

The Tubes - “Talk To Ya Later”. I heard this song in Bill’s Burger yesterday and smiled.  Who can forget this song or “White Punks On Dope” or “She’s A Beauty”?  OK, many people can, and I did, until yesterday that is.
