Title: mondegreens
Post by: rictus on January 09, 2008, 08:21:28 AM
Are Buzz's lyrics mondegreens? I played a game last week called Mad Gab that uses mondegreens and
you have to figure out what they mean. The whole time I was thinking 'these sound like Melvins lyrics'.
QuoteThe puzzles, also known as mondegreens, contain small words that, when put together, make a word
or phrase. For example, "These If Hill Wore" when pronounced quickly sounds like "The Civil War."

It's just a theory. :| In the game alot of the phrases made no sense whatsoever, but when you see
the answer it makes perfect sense.

here's a card from the game:

The answers are in the corner of the opposite card. ie.:'hits owe odd'='it's so odd'

its not what Buzz is doing (he's not a retard) but it sounds like he almost could be (a mondogreener not a retard)

Buzz doesn't just make up words, he does mondegreens to words he made up.

that way we're doubly confused
