February 05, 2009 You may not know what a mondegreen is, but your brain has almost certainly produced one. For those scratching their heads: mondegreens are misheard snippets of poems or, more commonly these days, songs. Perhaps the most oft-repeated example is "excuse me while I kiss this guy," which is a bastardization of the line "excuse me while I kiss the sky" from Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze." There are of course hundreds more ("let's pee in the corner, let's pee in the spotlight," "might as well face it you're a dick with a glove") and an array of Web sites dedicated to chronicling them. One of the more comprehensive seems to be, fittingly enough, kissthisguy.com. It's a fine way to kill some time, and maybe finally learn the real lyrics to a few of your favorite tunes. -JS
