Cheap Trick

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!).

Cheap Trick's, "I Want You To Want Me"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feed another llama on a Friday night, I feel like dyin'.

The Real Lyrics:

Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.

The Story: According to my logic, the guy couldn't ever get a date, so he stayed home alone on Friday nights, kept company only by his faithful llama, whom he had to feed, having nothing better to do. He was in despair, saying that he was miserable and would go crazy if he had to stay home and feed his llama again that particular weekend. However, I found out that this was not the case when I sang these lyrics in the car with my boyfriend... - Submitted by: Alex

Cheap Trick's, "She's Tight"

The Misheard Lyrics:

(She's tight) She's a hell of a chid.

The Real Lyrics:

(She's tight) She's ahead of her time.

The Story: For years I was put off the mighty Tricksters, because I thought this song was a bit pervy. I took the invention of the CD player and my purchasing some of the back catalogue to put my mind at rest. - Submitted by: Placeboman

Cheap Trick's, "Writing On The Wall"

The Misheard Lyrics:

All right
I saw the white team had the ball.

The Real Lyrics:

All right
I saw the writing on the wall.

The Story: When 'Dream Police' came out, this song was on the radio all the time. Someone at work suggested my version might be considered racist. I assured her I was not racist, just hard of hearing. - Submitted by: Joe B
