Based on a premise from Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The following conversation made up entirely of song titles (yes, these are all real, I checked)

Scene, the lobby of a hotel. A businessman is sitting there, waiting for a fellow businessmen to take to dinner. The businessman enters.

Businessman: "Mr. Wendell?"
Wendell: "You Can Call Me Al."
Businessman: "Waiting Too Long?"
Wendell (shrugging): "Half A Moment".
Wendell" "Who Told You About Me? Elenenor Rigby?"
Businessman: "Mrs. Robinson".
Wendell" "I Don't Know Her Name."
Businessman: "Jolene."
Wendell: "Sylvia's Mother!"
Businessman: "Exactly".
Wendell: "Be Her Long?"
Businessman shakes his head.
Businessman: "Tomorrow, I'll Be Gone". "Leaving On A Jet Plane."
Wendell: "Hungry?"
Businessman: "Hungry Like The Wolf!"
Wendell: "What Are You Hungry For?"
Businessman: "Tea for Two." "Sukiyaki."
Wendel nods, takes out his phone and dials.
Wendell: "Operator."
Waits a few seconds.
Wendell: "House of the Rising Sun."
Waits a few seconds more, then takes out a piece of paper to write down the phone number.
Wendell: "Two-Ten, Six-Eighteen, Ten Forty-Four."
Hangs up dials the number. Waits a few seconds then looks confused. Checks number again. Then slaps his head when he realizes what he has done wrong.
Wendell (re-dialing): "ONE!"
Waits a few more seconds, then beings to speak.
Wendell: "Table For Two." (few more seconds) "Tonight, At Eight."
Nods, then hangs up. Turns to business man.
Wendell: "Call Me A Cab."
Businessman goes off, comes back in a few seconds.
Businessman: "The Taxi's Waiting." "Shall We Go?"
Wendell (getting up) "Ready When You Are."
They walk out.

END.

I used to work with a doctor and before they had speech to type softwares, sometimes I had to type up her handwritten notes. It was an eye squinting experience lol
There was a column I got in one of my copies of the Funny Times (unfortunately, I gave it to my doctor) from a person like that, and all of the crazy miswrites she saw (I remember that one of them said the patient needed "Atop the Wall" which turned out to be Metropolol.)

Not that I'm much better. When I first got prescribed Bupophrion (generic Wellbutrin) I called up the doctor and said were they sure, since I misread the label as saying they had prescribed me Bufotenine (i.e. the stuff in toads that makes people who lick them hallucinate)

As I have mentioned I have also gotten Oxytocin (the "love hormone") confused with OxyContin (the painkiller) and laburnum (the flowering shrub in the garden) with laudanum (the opiate). Oh and I thought Ebola was E. bola ,and it was a bacterium related to E. coli, but more virulent.
