It's happened to me a couple of times too...

Musical curiosity: Why does the alphabet song, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and Twinkle Twinke Little Star have the same melody?

 

Also, can a contrafactum also be an mondegreen? An contragreen?

 

Like this. Suppose an English love song were written with a certain set of lyrics and tells a certain story. A Spanish speaker listens to the song, mishears it, and, by chance, manages to hear it in such a way that he still understands that it's a love song and listens to the same exact story being told in English.

 

The Spanish speaker then rewrites the song in Spanish, based off of what he (mis)heard, whilst keeping the same melody. An Anglophone mishears the Spanish song but manages to get the vibe that it's a love song and gets the same message as before. He then tries to rewrite the song into English, but discovers that his lyrics are completely identical to the original in English.

 

The Anglophone and Hispanophone take their lyrics to an interpreter, and the interpreter tells the two that both songs are phonetically similar and yet tell the same exact story.

 

The song is a mondegreen since the song was misheard into something else. The song's also a contrafactum since someone else wrote alternate lyrics whilst keeping the same melody. It's an automondegreen because no matter which way you mishear it, you still get the same exact story; it mightn't be the same exact order of words or the same translation, but it's the same story. Finally, it's an autocontragreen because you can have two completely different versions of the same song but in two different languages, but one you understand, and when you mishear the other, you can still (kinda) hear the original.
