Christmas Mondegreens
Here is a great site. It combines a nice definition of Mondegreens and some great christmas examples. For those of you who don't know, mondegreens are misheard lyrics. My favorite example is, instead of Jimi Hendrix saying "scuse me while I kiss the.com sky" in Purple Haze, some people hear him sing, "scuse me while I kiss this guy". Quite a difference!

There is another great mondegreen site at :
www.kissthisguy.com
While you are on the site, you will find that Snopes.com. This is the site to verify or discredit Urban Legends. It's lots of fun. It's also very useful when someone sends you a breathless e-mail warning you of the latest internet threat. I always check here first before sending anything on to the rest of the world.
