A mondegreen (also sometimes spelled "mondagreen") is the mishearing (usually accidental) of a phrase, such that it acquires a new meaning.
The word "mondegreen" is itself a mondegreen. The American writer Sylvia Wright coined it in an essay "The Death of Lady Mondegreen", which was published in Harper's Magazine in Nov. 1954. She wrote
When I was a child, my mother used to read aloud to me from Percy's Reliques. One of my favorite poems began, as I remember:
Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl Amurray, [sic]
And Lady Mondegreen.
The actual line is "And laid him on the green", from the anonymous 17th century ballad "The Bonnie Earl O' Murray". Wright gives other examples of what she says "I shall hereafter call mondegreens", such as:
Surely Good Mrs. Murphy shall follow me all the days of my life ("Surely goodness and mercy…" from Psalm 23)
the "wild, strange battle cry Haffely, Gaffely, Gaffely, Gonward." ("Half a league, half a league,/ Half a league onward," from "The Charge of the Light Brigade")
The columnist Jon Carroll of the San Francisco Chronicle has long been a popularizer of the term and a collector of mondegreens. He may have been the chief link between Wright's work and the general popularity of the notion today.
While mondegreens are a common occurrence for children, many alts have their own collection, particularly with regard to popular music.
A popular joke has a child being asked what God's first name is, and he replies, "Andy." He gets this name from the hymn In The Garden (a.k.a. "I Come To The Garden Alone": "Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am his own..." as opposed to, "And he walks with me..."
Billy Connolly described several mondegreens he sang in church as a child:
We will be tootle-ootle den ("We will be true to thee till death" from Faith of our fathers)
A wean in a manger ("Away in a Manger" using the Scottish word for a baby)
Quite a few mondegreens may be seen in captioned live television broadcasting of impromptu speeches, interviews, etc. (one local news report of a "grand parade" was captioned as a "Grandpa raid").
Some mondegreens arise from false friends. A phrase in one language may be misheard as a semi-sensical phrase in another language. The humorous aspect of these has given rise to a music video genre known as animutation, in which music in a different language (typically Japanese) is "misheard" into English, and illustrated. Engrish mondegreens can occur when English lyrics are reproced by foreign language singers.
This may happen in the opposite direction as well: i.e., English words of a song are misheard, intentionally or not, to mean something in a native language, often with a humorous effect. An example is a Russian joke in which the song "Can't Buy Me Love" was announced as "кинь бабе лом" (IPA kinʲ babʲɛ lom), which roughly translates as "Throw a crowbar to the woman".
Mondegreen is also a segment on the popular Australian music quiz show Spicks and Specks (ABC TV).

Give me the Beach Boys and free my soul (from Dobie Gray's "Drift Away" - "Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul")
It is hard to wreck a nice beach (from a story, perhaps apocryphal, about one of the earliest speech recognition programs being presented, at a demo, with someone saying "It's hard to recognize speech" and procing that phrase as the output; regardless of the truth of this story, this mondegreen was used on a t-shirt given to Apple engineers who worked on the company's early speech-recognition software [1])
Play that *ing music right boy (from the song "Play that Funky Music" by Wild Cherry - "Play that funky music, white boy")

... Harold (or Howard) be thy name... (from the Lord's Prayer - "... hallowed be thy name ...") [in Wright 1957]
... blessed art thou, a monk swimming ... (from the Hail Mary phrase "... blessed art thou amongst women ...". Also the title of a Malachy McCourt memoir.)

一般我听的多的好象是这样的
A在跟B讲话，然后C讲的话跟AB都不搭边，然后A让C“别打岔”...........
interrupt表达这个意思就正好..
