That would be ecstasy / You and me and Leslie…
You mean Jimi Hendrix was not singing “Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy!”
Either way, it works.
Let’s compromise and go with “Mow Along” or “Move the Lawn”.
Bone conduction headphones. Good for triathlon training. Nice detail.
This is my Go-To Moving (Right) Along song….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6NQcO9KTBY
That’s called a mondegreen from a miss heard song that was “They laid him on the green” heard as “Lady Mondegreen” Now all those “a chicken to ride” “a bathroom on the right” etc. are called modegreens.
LOL! Often the lyrics to a song become whatever you need them to be in that moment!
“Me? I’m just a lawnmower. You can tell me by the way I walk” (Genesis – I Know What I Like)
Even after I look up the words, my mind still hears the song wrong
Wow, I just went and listened to it, and the backup singers are definitely saying “mow the lawn”
CCR wasn’t singing “. . .There’s a bathroom on the right?”
Lady Mondagreen strikes again.
And Judas Priest did not sing “Raking the Lawn.”
When I was very young I would sing “Riiiice savoy!” as part of ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ during the winter holidays.
Diction has rarely been a goal of pop singers.
“Mow the lawn” works too.

Chris Isaak’s ‘San Francisco Days’ is a good album but his standout album, as I suspect most of his fans will attest, is ‘Forever Blue.’
There’s some great examples of misunderstanding lyrics here! Good going, everybody 8-)
The Beach Boys didn’t have a thing for Bob Moran.
