My favorite mondegreen is from "Kokomo" (Beach Boys):
To Martinique, that Monserrat mystique
misheard as
Vermont’s unique, Vermont’s a rotten state
I have a friend, Mandy Green, whose name is a mondegreen of "mondegreen.” She wrote a kids' book, "Gazoon High Twizzle," about a mondegreen of "gesundheit whistle," which means whistling after a sneeze. See it in animation at GazoonHighTwizzle.com.
Hysterical. Must send to all the Probamas and Nobamas I know.
