===In film=== <!--This section is for NOTABLE AND SOURCED examples that have some SPECIFIC SIGNIFICANCE to the genre. As there are many film mondegreens, this list includes *only* examples in tilm titles and instances where a mondgreen is an essential feature of the plot. --> A monologue of mondegreens appears in the 1971 film ''[[Carnal Knowledge (film)|Carnal Knowledge]]''. The camera focuses on actress [[Candice Bergen]] laughing as she recounts various phrases that fooled her as a child, including "Round John Virgin" (instead of "'Round yon virgin...") and "Gladly, the cross-eyed bear" (instead of "Gladly the cross I'd bear").<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.scripts.com/script.php?id=carnal_knowledge_5090&p=9|title=Carnal Knowledge Movie Script|access-date=10 March 2020}}</ref> The title of the 2013 film ''[[Ain't Them Bodies Saints]]'' is a misheard lyric from a folk song; director David Lowery decided to use it because it evoked the "classical, regional" feel of 1970s rural Texas.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.indiewire.com/2013/08/aint-them-bodies-saints-exclusive-video-interview-with-david-lowery-update-196541/ |title='Ain't Them Bodies Saints' Exclusive Video Interview with David Lowery UPDATE {{!}} IndieWire |last=Thompson |first=Anne |website=IndieWire |access-date=18 October 2016 |quote=The title was a misreading of an old American folk song that captured the right "classical, regional" feel, he said at the Sundance premiere press conference. |date=15 August 2013 |archive-date=19 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160619171238/http://www.indiewire.com/2013/08/aint-them-bodies-saints-exclusive-video-interview-with-david-lowery-update-196541/ |url-status=live }}'' (in the article text, not the video)''</ref> In the 1994 film ''[[The Santa Clause]]'', a child identifies a ladder that Santa uses to get to the roof from its label: The Rose Suchak Ladder Company. He states that this is "just like the poem", misinterpreting "out on the lawn there arose such a clatter" from ''[[A Visit from St. Nicholas]]'' as "Out on the lawn, there's a Rose Suchak ladder".<ref name="Duralde">{{cite book|title=Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas|first=Alonso |last=Duralde |publisher=Limelight Editions|year=2010|page=15 |isbn=978-0-87910-376-7}}</ref>
