A "new" word (although first used over 50 years ago) has just been added to the dictionary. "Mondegreen". For those of you who don't know what it means, I bet you have done it. Here are some clues: "S'cuse me while I kiss this guy," "The ants in my pants are blowing in the wind," "Lucy in Disguise With Diamonds," "Hold me closer, Tony Danza", "Jose can you see", "The girl with colitis goes by."
Now we know that there is a word for it!

Mondegreen is a misheard lyric
'The girl with colitis goes by' - 'the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.'
S'cuse me while I kiss this guy," - 'scuse me while I kiss the sky
The ants in my pants are blowing in the wind," - 'the answer my friend is blowing in the wind'.
"Hold me closer, Tony Danza" - hold me closer, tiny dancer,
"Jose can you see" - oh say can you see, "
Lucy in Disguise With Diamonds - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
