Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Canadian National Anthem

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!).

Canadian National Anthem's, "Oh Canada"
The Misheard Lyrics:
True patriot love in all our sunts command...
We see thee rise the true Lord strong and free.
The Real Lyrics:
True patriot love in all our sons command
We see thee rise the true North strong and free.
The Story: Well, like most people, I learned the words as a child and sang it like this for years, until I was teaching it to some of the kids I work with. One of the other women pulled me aside and let me know that not only did I not know the words to the song I was teaching, but I was passing my mistakes along! - Submitted by: Sarah
