For a more in-depth look at the history of mondegreens and how they're used in various media, please see [[Mondegreen/Analysis|the Analysis Page.]]
See also [[Lady Mondegreen]], which is about something similar happening with character names in other works. Contrast [[Malaproper]] which is a character who mixes up words on a regular basis, and [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]] which is for when the misheard line becomes more famous than the original. A [[Gag Sub]] for a music video will probably be filled with mondegreens.

* In a similar vein to the Hungarian mondegreening of Nightwish's "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan" (see above), someone posted the (also Finnish) Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l14yC2YB6rQ "Lintu" with misheard lyrics], which has gems like "kurváim úszkálnak" ("my bitches are swimming") and "Jaj lányom, szülj te buktát!"
