Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Billy Squier

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!).

Billy Squier's, "My Kind Of Lover"
The Misheard Lyrics:
My kind of rug rat
The Real Lyrics:
My kind of lover
The Story: My son, Joshua (now 19) & I were driving down the road with the music cranked when he was about 7. He was singing his little heart out. I turned down the music and realized he was singing 'My kinda rug rat' instead of the proper lyrics. I cracked up! - Submitted by: Tamei Denham
Billy Squier's, "My Kind Of Lover"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You're my candelabra.
The Real Lyrics:
You're my kind of lover.
The Story: My friend and I were laying on the beach back in the early 1980's when we were teenagers. We saw some cute guys and wanted to impress them; my friend thought that if she sang along to a Billy Squier song very loudly that would do so. She didn't realize that by singing, at the top of her lungs, 'You're my candelabra', that we would be extremely unpopular for the rest of the day!!! - Submitted by: Joy
Billy Squier's, "Stroke Me"
