Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Billy Talent

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 Talent's, "Falling Leaves"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And a crackhead let you down
And he's nowhere to be found.
The Real Lyrics:
In a crooked little town
They were lost and never found.
The Story: My husband loves this song and walks around singing it all the time; and thought it was an "accent" that made crackhead sound to him like "crockhead." So we finally looked up the lyrics, and I think he's disappointed! - Submitted by: Virginia
