mondegreen, \MON-di-green\ n.,
- a misinterpretation of a word or phrase that has been heard, especially a song lyric.
Mondegreen is itself a mondegreen. The term was coined by Amercian writer Sylvia Wright in a 1954 article for Harper's in which she explained that as a child, she'd misinterpreted a line of a Scottish ballad; instead of “And laid him on the green” she heard “And Lady Mondegreen.”
