Which word is used to describe the mishearing or misinterpretation of song lyrics?
- Mondegreen:A mondegreen is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a song lyric that gives it a new meaning. Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a song; the listener, being unable to hear a lyric clearly, substitutes words that sound similar and make some kind of sense. "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" substituted for Jimi Hendrix's "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" remains one of the most widely reported mondegreens of all time. Writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954. The word "mondegreen" was included in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2002 and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary in 2008.
