RE: More Friday Fun: Archie Bunker-style mangled expressions

The problem with identifying Mondegreens is distinguishing them from
filks.  Mondegreens are accidental, while filks are on purpose.

Snopes used to list "Walking 'Round in Women's Underwear" ("Walking in a
Winter Wonderland") as a Mondegreen, until it was pointed out to them that
it was a real comedy song by Bob Rivers.
