I never heard that requirement. The term comes from the line "And they laid him on the green" misheard as "And the Lady Mondegreen."

In a related story, I've heard it claimed that Creedence Clearwater Revival would sometimes sing "There's a bathroom on the right" when doing Bad Moon Rising in concert.
