Dirty! (There ARE a lot of sheep in Australia...)

If you make them wear seamed silk stockings,it's perfectly acceptable.:)

dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap..ac/dc

...eww.

Oh dear, a little risque here. heh heh

I would argue that this is less of a mondegreen, and more of a filk. Filk singing involves changing the lyrics to a popular song to give it a sci-fi, fantasy, or medieval theme.

Disagree? A mondegreen is the mishearing of a phrase, correct? And with Bon Scott's annunciation, "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" does sound like he's saying "with sheep" at the end.

Or, given that you're guessing this is a filk, is there a parody that's actually been done with those words that I've just never heard?

Several sites on Google call it a mondegreen.

One of the companies I worked for asked me to put out a memo with the employees' paychecks to collect some information. The memo needed to be signed and returned to me. As the employees started to return the memos I noticed something strange. Each one was singing a little song as they gave me their memo. I examined the memo a little more closely and discovered that I had added at the bottom "Please sing and return to Norma Dee."

lol @ norma :)

I've heard the "done with sheep" version frequently, at SCA events and Renaissance Faires. Perhaps it started out as a mondegreen, but someone turned it into a Lonely Scotsman ditty.

ROFL Norma, that's hilarious.

jajajajajaa :D
