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.
This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.
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!).
Aaron Carter album at Amazon.com
I'm gay
Come get it
The Story: I burst out laughing when I heard this one. I hate Aaron Carter, and I thought the lyrics were 'I'm gay!' I joked around saying, 'Yeah, that's true.' My friend looked at me and said 'what?' 'He's gay.' I explained to him what I heard, and he laughed and told me the real lyrics. I blushed. I still hate Aaron Carter, but now I'll chack with the lyrics before I do something stupid like that! - Submitted by: Chris Smith

We've had our good times in bed
We've had our good times and bad
The Story: In '97, my 14-year-old sister got Aaron's album for Christmas. My girlfriend and I were sitting on the floor playing a video game, discussing whether or not Aaron, being about 10 at the time, really had that much experience of relationships and such. Once we heard this, we burst out laughing. Kids sure grow up fast in Florida, huh? - Submitted by: Erik Malm

You can take it in the a--h---
Woo, your boobs
Make me want to f---
Paddle on the rollerblades
You callin' me a punk?

Battle on the rollerblades
You callin' me a punk?
The Story: Aaron was only a teenager at the time, but when I heard that song I could have sworn the lyrics were really dirty. And "paddle on the rollerblades". That's what I thought he was saying too. And it didn't make any sense. - Submitted by: Hu's On First
Two other girls
To all the girls
The Story: My sister is obsessed with Aaron Carter and was singing this song to me. I always look for new reasons to make fun of him, so I was like, 'What, now Aaron Carter has two girlfriends?' She stopped and was replied,'What?!?' Then she said what she was really singing, and I felt really stupid. The CD doesn't really sound like 'Two other girls,' just when my sister sings it. - Submitted by: The Blind One
