Misinterpretation is the act of interpreting songs or phrases in English in an alternative and usually humorous fashion. This is similar to the popular YTMND fad "interpretation".
While not a popular fad, many misinterpretations have been remade. For example, songs featuring the word "walkin'" can easily be misinterpreted as "Walken"; these sites may subsequently feature an audio sample of the song and an image featuring Christopher Walken.
The fad supposedly began when MasterSitsu created the site "Walken on the Sun". Ironically, the site has no vocals; it's up to the viewer to know the song name and understand the joke.
