Hey English people, you know "yaourt" ? It means yoghurt. When a French sing an English song that he doesn't understand lyrics, we call it yaourt. I know all Depeche Mode's songs in yaourt. Like that :

@PetitFayot Anglophone culture is too cut off from other languages to have a name for this, but we have the word 'mondegreen' which refers to misheard lyrics. It comes from a poem where someone misheard "and laid him on the green" as "and Lady Mondegreen".
