My buddy from Australia would never let me rest if I didn't correct this- it's Vegemite, not vegemint. Vegemite is practically a national food Down Under, I'm told. Because convicts will eat anything.

(Kidding, to any Aussies on the board!)

I just told my wife about this and she's laughing at me big time. "You didn't know that?" Of course I'm the same guy who thought the one song that goes "Your body's a wonderland" was actually "You're Alice in Wonderland."
I guess I'm just a jackass.

There's a whole industry devoted to "mondegreens," or misheard song lyrics- I think the book was called, "S'cuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" after the misheard lyric from the Jimi Hendrix song. My favorite misheard one was from the KISS song- "I want to rock all night/And part of every day."

I myself thought the lyric from "I Wanna Kiss You All Over" was "I wanna kiss you on the road."

A friend in college once asked me who Maxwell Jump was. I asked him what he was talking about and he meant "might as well jump" from the Van Halen song Jump.
