Sinister: mishearings and other ear rings

[Jake Reichert]

There's actually a word meaning "misheard lyrics" that I learned about due
to a similar thread on the Trash Can Sinatras list.  Unfortunately, it
eludes me right now.  If you know Trash Can Sinatras, you know why it
showed up there.

Anyways.  I think my favorite one is from the end of the Smith's "Frankly,
Mr. Shankly".  I've always been rather convinced that the last line of the
song is "oh give us money", or maybe even "oh give us your money", but on
of the two.  I have a friend who to this day SWEARS that he's saying "oh
Yiddish Mummies."

I like this game.
