Soramimi (空耳, "feigned" deafness") or Soramimi kashi (空耳歌詞, misheard lyrics) is a Japanese term for homophonic translation of song lyrics, that is, interpreting lyrics in one language as similar-sounding lyrics in another language.
Don’t get it? We are talking about Agathe Bauer and Mama Appelsap. Ahh... right!
To get to the cache, I'm afraid that you'll have to indulge such nonsensical hymns as “Chicken with soft ice” (Danish Soramimi of The Fugee’s Killing me softly) and “Girly Man” (English Soramimi of the Indian Michael Jackson cover Version of Thriller called Golima).
This bilingual Soramimi word play contrasts with a monolingual homophonic transformation, called Mondegreen. Google that too, and you'll find that “There's a bathroom on the right” .
The formula for the final reads as follows:
N 49° RZ.R0U
E 006° 0U.ZPM
