In yesterday's article "CARLY", I used the word "MONDEGREEN"; several people asked for an explanation. Below is a Sue's News article published in 2013:
MONDEGREEN
A Facebook friend posted that she sings the wrong lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit, much to her husband's consternation. I wrote to her that there's an actual word--MONDEGREEN--for that problem; MONDEGREEN means:
"a word or phrase resulting from mishearing a word or phrase, usually in song lyrics."
An example: "The girl with colitis goes by" rather than "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes"from the Beatles song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.
