I don’t know if these count as eggcorns, but I still find them funny!
As a child, in the song “Angels we have heard on high” I heard the line “let angels’ prostrate fall” as “let angels’ prostate fall.”. Also, in the song “It came upon a midnight clear” I heard the line “from Heaven’s all gracious king” as “from Heaven’s audacious king.”
