Mondegreens

[ksmith]

Mondegreens as defined here are misheard words, often song lyrics or prayers or such. Stephen King mentions an instance in Danse Macabre in which a child's transmutation of the phrase "grim reaper" into "green ripper" led to a few sleepless nights .

I think they're still trying to figure out the words to Blinded by the Light.
