Ever wondered if the Beatles’s “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was inspired by a girl with nasty intestinal issues? Well if you’ve ever confused the lyric, “The girl with kaleidoscope eyes” with “The girl with colitis goes by” -- rest assured, you’re not alone. Thousands of humorously misunderstood lyrics are listed at The Archive of Misheard Lyrics (www.kissthisguy.com), a site named after the famous Jimi Hendrix mondegreen “’Scuse me, while I kiss this guy.”

The Archive of Misheard Lyrics started out as a regular contribution to the Birdhouse Arts Collective, a somewhat heady site featuring art, poetry, and fiction. Soon The Archive became overwhelmingly popular, so popular that site administrators had to find The Archive its very own domain. Currently edited and maintained by an anonymous, “I’m just a normal guy” who goes by Mr. Misheard, the site boasts 1,783 existing submissions.

Granted, you may run into some inexplicably confused lyrics like, “Baby rat call back” heard in place of, “Little Red Corvette” by Prince. And there are others that don’t come close to the original. For example, take the lyric, “With my encyclopedia” from Tori Amos’ “Cornflake Girl.” One submitter thought Amos crooned, “With my hands like a pee-pee head.” And while Amos sometimes does look like a pee-pee head, can you honestly picture Ms. Amos writhing at the piano, singing those words?

As Rolling Stone contributor Gavin Edwards churns out coffee table books that cite mondegreens, The Archive of Misheard Lyrics separates itself from bland bulletpoint lists by posting the explanations behind the bungled lyrics. One person heard the Third Eye Blind lyric, “The four right chords could make me cry,” as “The four-eyed girls could make me cry.” The reasoning behind this misheard lyric: “I just thought that the guy really liked girls with glasses.”

Aside from all the bleeps, blurbs, and blunders (the song and artist lists don’t always correspond), The Archive of Misheard Lyrics is amusing enough to absorb at least a half-hour of a pokey afternoon. We’ve all confused lyrics at some point, so go see if anyone else has made the same mistakes as you -- you pee-pee head.
