Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Big Audio Dynamite

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!).

Do what you like.
The Real Lyrics:
C'mon dim the lights
It's party time
Switch on the strobe
Do what you like.
The Story: I sang these lyrics from the time the song came out (early 1990's) until about 2004 when I was in the car with my best friend who yelled, 'What!' He uncontrollable laughed directly at me, continuing on until this day if reminded of it. - Submitted by: dirrty
