Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Allegheny Moon"

Misheard Lyrics:

Alligator Moon, I need your light.

Original Lyrics:

Allegheny Moon, I need your light.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Carmen Stanley

When I first heard this, I envisioned it being sung in a Southeastern US swamp area, because of the presumed alligator reference. Later I learned that Allegheny is a river in Pennsylvania, so the song's setting is probably far away from any alligators.

There are additional misheard stories available.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Tennessee Waltz"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

I remember the night, and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darlin', the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Why They're Misrhymed:

I'm sorry to say this, Patti, but although this has been a favorite song of mine since I was a little kid, 'lost' and 'Waltz' don't rhyme.
