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!).

To magnify pain is point #1.

Steve Reagan, Steve Reagan
Seeing red again, seeing red again
The Story: I never liked this song anyway. But one day, it was on the radio. I asked my friend Stan 'Who the h*** is Steve Reagan ?' He laughed and told me the name of the song and then it made sense. But every time after when that song came on, we would sing my version because we liked it better. - Submitted by: Wildcard
Headlights, having hurt
I liked, having hurt.
The Story: I was listening to this, and I kept wondering what headlights had to do with the song. I figured I was mishearing the lyric, so I asked my friend Michelle what this lyric was. She also thought it was 'headlights.' Later, we went to my friends house, and she's a big fan of Chevelle. We were singing this song, and she looked at us like we were complete idiots. She sings this lyric when we're around her now. - Submitted by: Ka
