(詳細はhomophony, in a way that gives it a new meaning. Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song; the listener, being unable to clearly hear a lyric, substitutes words that sound similar, and make some kind of sense.〔(The Word Detective: "Green grow the lyrics" ) Retrieved on 2008-07-17〕 American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in her essay "The Death of Lady Mondegreen", published in ''Harper's Magazine'' in November 1954. :Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands, :Oh, where hae ye been? :They hae slain the Earl o' Moray, :And ''Lady Mondegreen''. The actual fourth line is "And ''laid him on the green".'' Wright explained the need for a new term: ==Examples of Mondegreens== # ''Gladly, the cross-eyed bear'' (in the hymn "Keep Thou My Way" by Fanny Crosby and Theodore E. Perkins, "Kept by Thy tender care, gladly the cross I'll bear"). # ''There's a bathroom on the right'' (in the song "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival: "There's a bad moon on the rise"). # Scuse me while I kiss this guy'' (in the song "Purple Haze" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience: "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky").〔 # ''We broke up on the docks that night'' (in the song "Tangled up in Blue" by Bob Dylan: "We broke up on a dark sad night"). # ''The girl with colitis goes by'' (in the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by The Beatles: "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes"). # ''Everybody needs some pushing from below'' (in the song "Brimful of Asha" by Cornershop: "Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow"). # ''Hold me close young Tony Danza'' (in the song "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John: "Hold me closer tiny dancer"). # ''Iris has the cholera, a thousand dumps a day'' (in the song ''Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic'' by The Police: "I resolve to call her up, a thousand times a day") # ''See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen'' (in the song ''Dancing Queen'' by ABBA: "See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen"). # ''Here we are now, in containers'' (in the song ''Smells Like Teen Spirit'' by Nirvana: "Here we are now, entertain us").〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Mondegreens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
