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.
