"Dashing through the snow with one horse, soap and hay."

"Dashing through the snow with one horse, soap and hay.", MSN recently put out a slideshow of Christmas songs the site says are often misheard and sung incorrectly. As we went through the list, we weren’t so sure who they were talking about because we’ve never heard anyone mangle Christmas lyrics quite so badly. Whether or not the claim is correct, what got our attention was how hilarious the incorrect lyrics were!

Check out some of our favorite laugh-out-loud worthy “‘misheard’” lyrics, that give these classic holiday songs a whole new meaning.

Song: Frosty the Snowman
Misheard lyric: “Frosty the Snowman is a ferret elf, they say.”
Correct lyric: “Frosty the Snowman is a fairytale, they say.”

Song: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Misheard lyric: “Here we are, as in olden days, happy golden rays, up yours.”
Correct lyric: Here we are, as in olden days/ Happy golden days of yore”

Song: Jingle Bells
Misheard Lyric: “Dashing through the snow with one horse, soap and hay.”
Correct Lyric: “Dashing through the snow, with a one horse open-sleigh”

Song: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Misheard Lyric: “Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names. Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go drown in Listerine.”
Correct Lyric: All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history.”

Song: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Misheard Lyric: “He’s making a list, chicken and rice.”
