Added DiffLines:

A subset of the mondegreen is the '''eggcorn''', in which the misinterpreted word or phrase is one that is still relevant or makes sense in context. Examples include mishearing "Alzheimer's disease" as "old-timer's disease" to describe a senile elder, "beck and call" as "beckon call" to describe summoning someone, or "praying mantis" as "preying mantis" to describe the predatory insect.

Several WebAnimation/{{animutation}}s are based around a long series of intentional mondegreens and soramimis, usually involving [[WithLyrics faux "lyrics"]] accompanying a confusing (often foreign-language) song. Someone who has read the faked lyrics often has trouble associating the real ones with the song afterwards.
