A mondegreen is basically a lyric that is easily mistaken for something other than what it is.

Yeah, in How Soon Is Now by The Smiths, I always thought the lyrics were:

I am the sun and the air,
I've a shyness that is criminally vulgar,
I am the summoner,
Of nothing in particular.

Which I thought was cool in a prog rock fantasy kind of way. But turns out the actual lyrics are:

I am the son, and the heir,
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar,
I am the son and heir,
Of nothing in particular.

Still a fantastic song though.
