It might be the same song, Gershun, that had a line, "Oh, for Grace to love Him more..." My grandmother's name is Grace. When I was young, I used to wonder why my grandmother didn't love Him enough? I really worried about her.

Oh yes - anything by Andy Williams! And church music - the original songs - not the new ones that have been doctored with "inclusive" language. Each time I hear Amazing Grace I get shivers up my spine!

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Posted about Mondegreens, however it was erased.
From memory, Sylvia Wright misunderstood a scottish ballad's words, she later wrote about it in 1954, it became popular to refer to mishearing a poem, ballad, song lyrics (or any ??) as a mondegreen. For more, google "Mondegreens", see the funny funny examples there.

Suffering now from a Mondergreen, when reading the post by Amygrace that said "anything by Andy Williams,
Everytime I read it, it looks like:
"Anything but Andy Williams".

After reading Gilbert O'Sullivan, and changing it in my mind to read Gilbert and O'Sullivan, that could have been an example of a mondergreen. Or was it, a mind bender seen? Lol.

Gilbert O' Sullivan is a stage name, btw. The artiste is a decent pianist and a very good lyricist, so I assume he chose it as a kind of dual tribute?

Mondegreen: a misheard lyric, as in "Thou hae slay the Earl of Murray/
And Lady Mondegreen" which actually means "slay the Earl of Murray and laid him on the green." Other misheard lyrics: ""Midnight after you're wasted."
is "Midnight at the oasis." (Muldaur), Baking carrot biscuits." is "Taking care of business" (BTO), and many others!!

That's it, Jinglebts, you found it! Just like Jessebelle's mondergreen, I am thinking about repainting, again, but I won't because Gershun said "Jesus loves even me".

It was an easy mistake, Send. Gilbert and Sullivan were a lot more famous than Gilbert O'Sullivan. Most people probably haven't even heard of the latter, especially in the US, where only one or two of his songs got air time.

Now there's a good question. Is the title of the song "Alone Again" or "Alone Again Naturally?" I've seen both and I've seen the Naturally in parentheses. Maybe CM will know for sure.

I think I found the answer just by looking at all the choices. I believe the title is simply "Alone Again" and the Naturally was added in parentheses by someone else. That way it could be told from all the other Alone Agains out there.

I have spent considerable time on line looking up the origin of the term mondegreen and laughing at many examples. I can recall everyone singing along with Kenny Rogers' song Lucille... four hundred children and a crop in the field, without ever stopping to think that it made no sense LOL.

The answer must be Naturally. I am alone so much, it must be naturally.
But then it is weird, because Dh is still here, I think.
Ghosting. It is called Ghosting when he cannot be found unless he's walking with you and your head has the ability to turn around a 360° to find him. How does he do that, because my head can barely turn 45° left, or 45° right, a total 90° scan.

Last night, spent alot of time here-could not sleep until 6 a.m. That was insomnia this time, usually my sleep schedule is 'self-will run rampant'.
