Asia

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!).

The Very Best of Asia: Heat of the Moment (1982-1990) album at Amazon.com

Asia's, "Africa"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Aint nothin' that a hundred men on Mars could ever do.

The Real Lyrics:

Aint nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do.

The Story: When my son was 5, he started really trying to sing along whenever the radio was playing, usually in the car. This song played one day while we were driving, and a few hours later at home, he asked me what they meant and if there really are men on Mars! I let him think for a few years that that was what they were singing just because it was cute. He's 10 now, and I've filled him in on the real lyrics so now we have a good laugh about it whenever we hear it. - Submitted by: Mary
