Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Chaka Khan

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!).

Chaka Khan's, "I Feel for You"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Every minute when I look at you
The Real Lyrics:
Baby baby when I look at you
The Story: It makes it hard to tell at first when she begins singing this line. - Submitted by: Cody Finke
Chaka Khan's, "I'm Every Woman"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Climb every woman
The Real Lyrics:
I'm every woman
The Story: When all you have to listen to in the 1970's (or whenever this song came out) was the radio, you're dependent on the DJ playing it & you hearing it. Since R&B is not my first choice in musical genre, I only heard this occasionally. Only the chorus was memorable (blame the producer) and I misheard even that. - Submitted by: Kev
Chaka Khan's, "I'm Every Woman"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I can catch a spell
The Real Lyrics:
I can cast a spell
The Story: I was hearing it that way whether it was this or the cover by Whitney Houston, and then realized that “cast” makes more sense than “catch”. - Submitted by: Cody Finke
