I imagine that screechy singing defeats the purpose of writing lyrics to rock songs. I have 2 books on "mondegreens" (misheard lyrics).
WHEN A MAN LOVES A WALNUT,
EXCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THIS GUY.
WASTING AWAY IN MY GORILLA SUIT.
The Pine Cones run in, and make tonight a wonderful thing. (Not a rock band, but misheard "The Fine Columbian" [ a make of weed])
Of course, Louie,Louie always got misheard.
The word mondegreen derives from the following lines from an old Scotch ballad (from days when most earls got killed in battles or ambushes or assassin home invasions). Oft misheard.
They have slain the Earl of Moray
and Lady Mondegreen. (and laid him on the green).
