Perhaps the most infamous mondegreen of all them all in modern popular music is “Scuse me while I kiss this guy”. Which of course is really “Scuse me while I kiss the sky” as sung by Jimi Hendrix on ‘Purple Haze’ from the 1967 album; Are You Experienced . Interestingly, even though the lyric is “kiss the sky” Jimi often hammed this line up when performing live and actually sung “kiss this guy” signalling to other band members in support of the changed lyric.
