Taking the misunderstanding of lyrics to a whole new, hilarious level.

Molly and I pretty much hyperventilated with laughter when we watched Joe Cocker’s Woodstock performance, subtitled with a fine selection of mondegreens.

    Hilarious!
    Thanks for the laugh!

    “Oh dear, my mascara’s runnin!”
    Which when said by Joe sounds like,
    “Oh my hair is burnin.”

    That was fun. I liked listening to it, as well. Ahh, music before the computer age… Hmm. Is that music from the stoned age?

    And that, in a nutshell, is why it’s so easy to make fun of the Baby Boomers.

    I almost snorted a grape at the Wonder loaf line.

    Okay, this just makes me think of the time Joe Cocker was on Saturday Night Live and John Belushi stood right next to him and they both sang a lovely ballad John doing an absolutely perfect imitation of Joe right next to him. There is one such video online, but it’s not the one I remember for SNL.

    I’m one of those baby boomers that you make fun of because I probably saw the original of the SNL.
