Mondegreen Website

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".
duh!

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

For all mondegreen fans, I heartily commend the site referenced below. It features hundreds of misheard lyrics of varying degrees of humour.
