Misheard lyrics are officially known as Mondegreens. Why? Apparently from the Scottish folksong about the death of Lord Dunnohu which was usually sung as "they took his body and Lady Mondegreen" instead of "...and laid him on the green" |

Not sure of the spelling, but there used to be a song called "Obladi, Oblada", which my neighbour's 3-year old used to sing at full volume - O Bloody, O Blood Ar!! :-) |
