semi-submersible	Mondegreens' cousins: Soramimis (102* d)	RE: Mondegreens' cousins: Soramimis	11 Dec 08
The musical connection is in the thread title: Soramimi means "misheard lyrics" in Japanese, according to the Wikipedia page, but refers specifically to lyrics which make entirely different sense in a different language, such as Genie's "Die, Loreli!" One of many examples on the Wikipedia page is a familiar Beatles refrain. "I wanna hol' yo' han'" sounds like a Japanese phrase: Aho na hōnyōhan meaning Idiotic public urination ("hōnyōhan" is a legal term for the crime) (Italic text borrowed from the Wikipage.)
