...and after all, you're my welder wall!

I knew the song immediately. :) I listened to this a lot when I was in college.
#3: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Feb 24, 2022
Thanks a lot. Good song but annoying as an earworm!

I enjoyed solving this!

It's not really a proper mondegreen. I know exactly what he's saying; this is just how I prefer to sing the lyrics (I also sing in as whiny a voice as possible).
#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 24, 2022
is the image clear enough? I didn't want to fiddle with it too much, since the solver said it was logical. ^_^
#7: Jota (jota) on Feb 24, 2022
It is very clear Kristen! Thanks!
#8: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 24, 2022
Ahh, but no one has named the subject, so I can't be sure. :)

Is it the bride of frankenstein?
though the strop is exuding barber of seville vibes, which makes tons more sense.
Crud... now I have the song from the bugs bunny cartoon I think called hare of seville, when he's rubbing the growth tonic on elmer's head with both hands and both feet.

That was my first idea, to do Bugs & Elmer, but this fellow was more graphic. He's holding a straight razor alongside his face.
#11: Vicki Woods (vickicwoods) on Feb 24, 2022
So...what is the song?
#12: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 24, 2022 [SPOILER]
Wonderwall, by Oasis

I'm seeing Sweeney Todd in there... Am I right?
(A super-zoomed-out view made it much clearer for me.)
#14: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 25, 2022
yes!
#15: Yonah Kondor (yokon965) on Feb 25, 2022 [SPOILER]
Nice! At first I thought our poor subject had razor'd a swath of hair from the top of his head, but then I realized it was a patch white hair. :)

P.S.- I certainly do hope he's not the one that shaves me.
#16: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 25, 2022
yes, it tended to end badly :)
#17: Jill Tallmer (Yidl) on Feb 26, 2022
I love that you can create such a sad soulful expression with a few pixels.
#18: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 26, 2022
thanks ^_^
#19: Steve (StevieB) on Feb 27, 2022
"Alright! You sir, you sir, how about a shave?
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney.
You sir, too sir? Welcome to the grave."
#20: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 27, 2022
:)

At least he didn't want to grow up to be a lumberjack
