Which modern and all-time classics songs lyrics are most often misheard?

This can create a phenomenon called a “mondegreen,” a term coined in 1954 by writer Sylvia Wright and defined as “a word or phrase that results from a mishearing especially of something recited or sung.” One of the most commonly cited examples of a musical mondegreen is “excuse me while I kiss this guy” from the Jimi Hendrix song, “Purple Haze.” (The original lyrics are “excuse me while I kiss the sky.”)

“Enter Sandman” by Metallica, “The Motto” by Drake, and “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande are the most misheard songs by Americans.

EDM gets misheard, for example "Like a G6", Far East Movement featuring The Cataracs and DEV (Like a cheese stick)

This is fitting!

Loudwire.com has a list of the most expensive guitars ever.

It used to be that an authentic Eric Clapton Strat, one used throughout the guitar god's career, could go for almost a million bucks at auction, shattering all prior records. These days, however, it's not uncommon for other rockers' instruments to pull down more than three times that much.

1. Kurt Cobain's "MTV Unplugged" guitar: $6 million.

2. David Gilmour's Black Strat: $3.9 million.

3. The 'Reach Out to Asia' Charity Fender Stratocaster: $2.7 million.

It was signed by Sting, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Jimmy Page, and Paul McCartney . . . just to name a few.

4. John Lennon's Gibson J-160E Acoustic-Electric: $2.4 million.

5. A 1959 Les Paul owned by both Peter Green and Gary Moore: $2 million.
