Some kids singing along with an album by Victoria Vox
When I hear this song, I make these same hand movements. The first time I did, Mrs Acilius laughed. All the other times she’s smiled politely and looked the other way. Anyway, there are three possibilities as to why these children do the same thing I do: (1) It’s a meaningless coincidence; (2) Mrs Acilius secretly contacted them and taught them to imitate me; (3) I have the mind of a small child and we all think alike. I favor possibility (1).

Mr Procrastination
Thanks to Ukulele Hunt for posting this video of a song that speaks to the condition of, I think, most web users.

Ukulele Lady
An old ukulele standard, played by a familiar ensemble.
Victoria Vox also recorded a marvelous version. Here’s a video of her playing the end of the song:

Gord’s “Gold”
Lately I’ve been thinking about “Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald,” but I have no idea what reminded me of it, in the first place. In any case, it is much deserving of its fame. Only an amazingly talented individual such as “Gord” could transpose a current event into modern folk legend.

I was noticing that, in the lyrics as posted here:
http://home.pacbell.net/chabpyne/lyrics.html
they accidently typed “words” when they meant “waves”: “Does anyone know where the love of God goes / When the waves turn the minutes to hours?” Surely one of the best lines in a beautifully-expressed song.

Misheard lyrics
On Monday, Language Log posted about this video:
Today, cymast and I had an exchange in the comments on one of her posts about something similar.
So, here are three links.
A very ambitious collection, where visitors vote to rank mishearings by comic value and submitters include stories to show that they did sincerely mishear the lyrics, that they are not making up parodies; another collection, almost equally ambitious in the number of mishearings recorded and keys by which they are indexed, but without the same means to filter out parodies; and an explanation of why misheard lyrics are known as “Mondegreens,” from snopes.
