Of ..."Oh king eternal" sounds better. =)<br />Of course Pogo's silly songs aren't really mondegreens because they'e deliberate. They're also reverse: wrong words that are supposed to sound like the correct words. Another example is the classic fairy tale "Ladle Rat Rotten Hut." I myself once made up an entire reverse mondegreen version of the song "La Bamba."Anne E.G.

Reminds me of "Lead on oh kinky turtle" (Lead on, oh Light Eternal) and Pogo's fractured carols from "Deck us all with Boston Charlie" to "Good King Wense the louse looked out on his feets uneven". Or was it Wens the Lout? I've misplaced my copy. Paxnoreply@blogger.com
