Lady Mondegreen

A mondegreen is the mishearing of a phrase, in a way that gives it a new meaning. In short, misheard song lyrics. American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in her essay "The Death of Lady Mondegreen," in Harper's Magazine in 1954. "Mondegreen" was included in the 2000 edition of the Random House and Webster's College Dictionary.
