Humor

This category is for websites dealing with humorous song lyrics, such as misheard songs, song parodies, and random lyrical generators. Misheard song lyrics (also known as Mondegreens), are instances when someone does not understand the original song lyrics to a song, and instead sing the wrong lyrics. Song parodies are intentional changing of the lyrics of a well-known song in order to make it humorous or express a different viewpoint. Random lyrical generators dynamically change the lyrics to songs, either through re-arranging the order, or combining the lyrics with other songs or some other form of manipulation.

Please do not submit websites that deal with musical humor in general (such as musician jokes). This category is for websites which focus on funny song lyrics, or funny treatments of regular song lyrics.
