By the way, the Dylan "mondegreen" seems pretty unlikely to me: *"The ants

I've only heard that one as a parody -- an intentional semi-mondegreen, if you like:
     The ants are my friends, they're blowing in the wind.
     The ants are all blowing in the wind.
(Or some other way of fitting the meter on the last line.)
