Plunge Into The Madness... Mondegreening.

noun. A misheard lyric in a song. The term comes from an old song which contains the lyric "They slew the Earl of Moray and laid him on the green." It was commonly misheard as "They slew the Earl of Moray and Lady Mondegreen."

Jel, as a small boy, was a pro at mondegreening. Some of his best included:

'So long, farewell, my feet are saying goodbye...'

'Mister Sandman, bring me a drink.'

And

'Take me back to the black holes, the black holes 'round the corner...' (Black Hills of Dakota)
