: : Who ya gonna call? - Phone's busted

: A misheard lyric is called a mondegreen.

: Until about 2 years ago, in Bad Moon Rising by Creedence I heard a lyric as "There's a bathroom on the right" instead of "There's a bad moon on the rise".

I knew someone who misheard "Young hearts be free tonight" from Young Turks by Rod Stewart as "Your horse runs free tonight."
