To keep the digression going: Mondegreen comes from a specific Scottish folk song, The Bonnie Earl o' Moray, which has the first lines
Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands, oh where have you been?
They have slain the Earl o' Moray, and laid him on the green
However, singers who mis-heard the second line sang
They have slain the Earl o' Moray, and Lady Mondegreen
Hence the term mondegreen, a figure cropping up in many a contemporary song
'Scuse me while I kiss this guy for 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky -- Jimi Hendrix, Purple Haze
There's a bathroom on the right for There's a bad moon on the rise -- John Fogerty, Bad Moon Rising
and so forth...
