ReplyDeleteYeah, Im pretty sure he made a post about the Obama's Elf video somewhere in the archives.

Nice. There's a Japanese variety show that does something similar - uses snippets of English songs and adds Japanese subtitles to highlight lyrics that sound like different Japanese words.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the Japanese word for "mishearing" translates directly as "sky ear."
sky ear? wow. that's not a very transparent calque. how would you explain it?
