from today's NewScan: Mondegreens

[Steve Cornelius]

One of the best current Australian mondegreens is a (perhaps intentional?)
misinterpretation of "It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n
roll". This title of a popular (1960s?) Australian song has been adopted as
the name of a 50s/60s/70s rock revival tour by a group of ageing Aussie
rockers (most of whom are now well into their 6th decade and some even
older, but still belting it out).

At least one Sydney talkback host has taken to calling the tour "It's a
long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll".
