A Pseudo-Mondegreen for Linguists

Do you remember the Prince song Automatic from the album 1999?


If not, here is a video from youtube of a live version of the song -




And the chorus -

A-u-t-o-matic

Just tell me what 2 do

A-u-t-o-matic

I'm so in love with U


Well...


whenever I hear the song, I want to sing -



I-d-i-o-matic


Another favorite is Carly Simon's Anticipation, to which I sing -



Alliteration
