A mondegreen is the mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase as a result of near homophony, in a way that gives it a new meaning.

A closely related category is the soramimi, which are songs that produce different meanings from those originally intended when interpreted in another language. The unintentional use of similar-sounding words or phrase in speech is a malapropism.

In parodiesEdit
