Personally, I've pretty much misheard everything Dylan ever sang.

i was reminded of this thread just yesterday when i heard mccartney's "Helen Wheels" and considered the convoluted mondegreen implications of that song:
the song was about his car which they called "Hell on Wheels" the song was named "Helen Wheels" i've always heard it as "Hell on wheels" so, was he "actually" singing "Hell on wheels" and, therefore, if a listener always heard/confused that with "Helen Wheels," is it a true mondegreen? perchance i'm overthinking this...

Reverse mondegren: Maybe Paul misheard the phrase "hell on wheels" as "Helen Wheels" and after realizing it thought it would make for a lyric. Or maybe he just at some point thought they sounded alike and used it as a lyric. Like a song about Miss Information, the gal who thinks she knows it all. At any rate I think it is designed to be Mis Heard, who is Lady Mondgren's cousin, and loves to use homonyms to confuse.

Continuing on with my thoughts about lyrics purposefully designed to be misheard, is a popular song on the radio. This song contains the oft repeated line, "Everything means nothing if I can't have you." However, before I knew that, and the song was just on in the background, it sure sounded like he was swearing.
But knew he wasn't as what it sounded like wasn't suitable for our local pop station. So it grabbed me ear. I still wonder if that was done on purpose.

Wow, did I get it wrong. I though it was:
Don't cry for me, Argentina. The truth is I never loved you. I kept my promise, now keep your distance. Turns out, it is: Don't cry for me, Argentina. The truth is I never left you. I kept my promise, don't keep your distance. Big difference! Last edited by TeleBluesMan; 11-09-2020 at 06:32 PM. Reason: correction

No problem with the verses in 'Across The Universe' by The Beatles ... but that chorus thingy ... ahh geru ahya ...
Words are flowing out Like endless rain into a paper cup They slither while they pass They slip away across the universe Pools of sorrow, waves of joy Are drifting through my opened mind Possessing and caressing me Jai Guru Deva, Om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world

Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin”.
Near the end he sings “I’m gonna” glad down over Mulholland”, or so I thought. I never understand what that meant. It was Tom’s southern accent and the word was “glide”.

When I was little I thought they were singing "Deep-sea landing lights". I found out later it was "Dixieland Delight".
