Animutation

Remember my little story about Mondegreens? Well, it seems that this concept of "constructive misunderstanding" has evolved to a new level, called either and both "Animutation" and/or "Fanimutation."

According to Wikipedia: "The term animutation was popularized in early 2001 by Neil Cicierega, who coined the phrase at the age of 14 after spawning the genre via the creation of Japanese Pokerap, and more notably, Hyakugojyuuichi. Strangely, this became rather popular, and spawned a host of (in some cases, much better) imitators. The famous one is, of course, Irrational Exuberance, or Yatta!, but they all share the same basic features - misheard (often Japanese) lyrics, bizarre animations, and Colin Mochrie."

Neil was 15 at the time of his conceptual transubstantiation.

Now that you've got the drift, here's a collection of links to yet more fanimutated Flash flotsam.
