Oh Carol

I've written about misheard song lyrics before, and now that it's the holiday season, let me note one of the most common mistakes of all.

That's right, it's in "Silent Night." Instead of "round yon virgin" you generally get "round young virgin." I think this is because latter actually makes a lot of sense.

The best of the mondegreen sites lists that as their fourth most common mistake. Adjusted for seasonality, I'd say it's up there near #1 this month.

Sleep in heavenly peas, slee-eeep in heavenly peas.
