While this doesn't _quite_ fit into the eggcorn crib, it's kinda sorta
along those lines:
Today's LA Times has an article by sports writer Mike Penner who's about
to become Christine Daniels. He said:
  'I broke the news to Tim by beginning, "Are you familiar with the movie
'Transamerica'?" Tim nodded. "Well, welcome to my life," I said.
'Tim seemed more perplexed than most as I nervously launched into my story.
'Finally, he had to explain, "I thought you said 'Trainspotting.' I thought
you were going to tell me you're a heroin addict."'
