A mondegreen is the mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase as a result of near-homophony, in a way that gives it a new meaning.

A closely related category is soramimi—songs that produce unintended meanings when homophonically translated to another language.
you can find many on youtube under 'buffalax'. they are often rude but this one is genuinely funny:
When you stubbornly stick to your mispronunciation after being corrected you are being a mumpsimus.
