Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Index

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Here's a couple of the most recent entries...

Jake Owen's, "I Was Jack, You Were Diane"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I was Jack and you were dying.
The Real Lyrics:
I was Jack and you were Diane.
The Story: When this song came out on March 12 2018, I was 9 years old. I'm gonna be 16 on July 17, 2024. So I was born on July 17, 2008. When I first heard this song, I was like "Why would he be talking about his girlfriend dying from an illness such as pneumonia or something and pretending that he was Jack while she was dying?" I just had to look up the song on YouTube to find out that I was wrong. - Submitted by: Riley Roth
Sabaton's, "Bismarck"
The Misheard Lyrics:
To rule the waves and lead the Greek Marines
The terror of the seas
The Bismarck and the Greek Marines
The Real Lyrics:
To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine
The terror of the seas
The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine
The Story: Yet another reason I'm glad I discovered Sabaton in March 2023. History was never exactly my strongest subject. I'm glad the band teaches about history so I can stop doing dumb stuff like wondering what on earth the Greeks had to do with Germany in WWII. :P - Submitted by: Driftless Warrior
