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 Story: I had no idea why Beyonce would be singing about a irreplaceable car that is saggy. For the record Mitsubishi is a car company, and how can a car be saggy? That made no sense. I don't think I could have been more wrong about the actual lyric. - Submitted by: Tom Bell

The Story: My friend and I were singing this song, and we BOTH sang the same misheard lyrics! He even said that some of his other friends thought she was saying the same thing!
