OK, so this particular mondegreen seems a little self-serving, what with my own name in it and all, but as I recall it, this Chicago song came out when I was a mopey teenager. At the time, I found it oh-so-ironic. In another era, the song and the pimply-faced kid both could have been very “emo.” But as history has shown, both are instead quite cheesy. Emo just another flavor, isn’t it?
For anyone interested in checking out the songs Mindover Man is messing up, check out the Amazon music sidebar I’ve added. I list each of Mindover Man’s mondegreens and, if one of them turns into an earworm for you, you can use the sidebar to purchase the song and enjoy its oldies goodness over and over again.
You’re welcome, and please don’t curse me!
