What-A-What?
Do you know what a 'Mondegreen' is?
If not, read this first.
Back yet? Oh good.
I was sitting here yesterday, continuing the re-coding of this site for its revamp (due in June, I hope), and in the background I had Steve Tilston & Maggie Boyle's fine 1992 album Of Moor And Mesa playing.
The penultimate track is an interpretation of the traditional Irish song The Banks Of Claudy. I've listened to the track a few times, but this time was different.
Where Maggie sings:
"I slowly steppèd up to her,
And gave her a surprise"
I now heard:
"I slowly steppèd up to her,
And gave her arse a prize"
I can't get to the bottom of it.
