Best Answer

The "crazy cannon" in "The Catcher in the Rye" refers to the way Holden Caulfield mishears the lyrics of the song "Come on-a My House." Instead of hearing "crazy cannon," he hears "crazy, mad, cannon." This misinterpretation reflects Holden's quirky and unique perspective on the world around him.
