ORIGINAL: Gemini1766 A favorite mondegreen for me is the Rolling Stones "Jumping Jack Flash" song lyric "I was born in a crossfire hurricane" I've argued this with good friends who insist that those are the right lyrics. I've never heard of a "crossfire" hurricane. I have, how ever, heard of a "Class Five Hurricane." I was born in a class five hurricane. Nowhere on line can I find anywone that says it's anything but "crossfire hurricane". But we all know that Jagger never was clear in his singing anyways. So, unless someone can point out an official lyrics page by the Stones where it says "cross-fire hurricane" I'm fairly certain it is a class five hurricane... especially talking about "driving rain". It is possible that Jagger and co. purposely created a mondegreen, so who knows. Gemini, lookie here, dude... http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rolling+stones/jumping+jack+flash_20118147.html
