Is it from an older song or a relatively new one? It doesn't sound like any misheard lyrics I've ever heard.

I tried googling it and found it was from the group Portugal, the Man. Whom I'm not familiar with. But I thoroughly enjoyed the puzzle, never the less.

I'd never heard the song before, so I'm not sure what he's supposed to be saying. Maybe, "I'm a rebel just for kicks, man"? (Edit: The last word should be "now" according to a lyrics site)

You may have heard it on the commercial for Vitamin Water with Aaron Paul.

Nope. I haven't watched TV for several years now. I'm sure it's just a resemblance to another song.

Ah yes, now I know the song. Great puzzle Brian. Love the perspective. It kind of reminds of puzzles they used to do in Games Magazine. They would take a picture of any everyday object but blow it up really big so that it zeroed in on one part of the object and your task was to figure out what the object was. Great picture!

I hear this song at my local athletic club. It's good to know we're getting new mondegreens from new songs, even after the term "mondegreen" has been coined. Anyway, I didn't catch the lyrics at first, so I'm not surprised this song got a mondegreen.
