Some good points there, especially about the Mondegreens.

Essentially all of this comes back to the fact that our brains are excellent at pattern matching but it is interesting to get such a clear example of how much work our brain does to reconcile the external information presented to it into something that 'fits' our internal world. Its like the sensory equivalent of cognitive bias.
