"Christmas Song(Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)"
Misheard Lyrics:
Jazz not ronsting by an open file,
jack frost snaping at your nose,
you'll tide care all being some bar quarrel,
and fox dressed up as eskimos
Original Lyrics:

jack frost nipping at your toes,
yule tide carols being sung by a choir,
and folks dressed up as eskimos
Editor's note: Full title of the song is "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)," but that won't all fit in the box. Also, it is NOT a 'Traditional' song; it was written in 1945 by Bob Wells and Mel Torme, and first recorded by Nat King Cole a year later. Other artists have since covered it.

Yes, my own thinking about this as written above is the funny story. It's true, and it's been truly frustrating to me for decades, before I finally learned he was saying real. And purposely mispronouncing it. Before learning this I thought there was "ill" in it somewhere -- along the lines of the person who submitted "are yer ill". But it couldn't be that I had thought. There's definitely an "ill" in there. WTF could he be saying?!
