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!).

Tonight you call my breast nuts snacks.
Tonight, you calm my restlessness.

Tonight you call my breastless snazz.
Tonight you calm my restlessness.

Tonight you call my chestnuts blessed.
Tonight, you calm my restlessness.
The Story: It's good to see I'm not the only one who couldn't figure out that line. I've been singing the wrong words since the song came out. I've always known it was wrong though; 'blessed chestnuts' didn't fit into the romantic theme. - Submitted by: Alison
Tonight you called my friends last nest.
You relieved my sadness
Tonight you calmed my restlessness.
You relieved my sadness
The Story: Had always wondered what the hell I thought the lyrics were saying really meant. One day surfing the web stumbled across a homepage a father had devoted to a child he had lost to death, which had the lyrics to this song printed on the page. Suddenly the light in my head came on and the song made sense from then on. - Submitted by: Jobu
Tonight, I need to eat some grass.
Tonight, I need your sweet caress.
The Story: This is what I heard my 4 year old son sing along with the radio. - Submitted by: Calvin Rajendram
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you call my breasts love nests
You relieve my sadness.
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness.
The Story: When I was in my early teens, I used to hear this song on the radio when driving with my parents and get all embarassed because I thought they said, 'Tonight, you call my breasts love nests.' As weird as this was, I was even more curious as to why it would be a guy's breasts as the singer is a man. Fortunately my girlfriend explained this to me some 13 years later that the lyric is, 'Tonight, you calm my restlessness.' Duh! Thanks Kel! - Submitted by: Bernie
Tonight you called my friend snot snass.
Tonight you calm my restlessness.
The Story: I was like eight or nine years old when this song came out. I thought the girl in the song left the guy and on top of that insulted his friend by calling him a snot snass. I started using snot snass as an insult for a bit after this. - Submitted by: Jake
