Lay them on the green.
Gang.
Folks.
My dudes.
Fellow participants of this given social network.
I'll get to it: I need Mondegreens. When I started the fic I'm currently working on, I decided it should take its chapter titles from misheard lyrics. I figured it'd add to the atmosphere and create a slanted commentary on the subject matter, and I'd finally get to do something I'd wanted to try out for a while in something approaching a reasonable context.
Today I realized I needed some help in the matter. That, and it'd be better asking around for specific examples than scrolling through compilations of the more common ones. I'm not looking for "hold me closer, Tony Danza" - I'm looking for "it's all part of the palimpsest." (Trouble, by Voxtrot, and yes, that's going in there.)
If anyone's got something, I'd love to hear it.
