Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Dixiecups

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!).

The Story: I was born in 1954. I first 'misheard' these lyrics when I was 7 or 8. I learned the correct lyrics when I was 13 or 14. A generation later, my son, who was born in 1984, first 'misheard' these same lyrics when he was a toddler. He also learned the correct lyrics at about 13 or 14 years of age. - Submitted by: Bernie Espinoza
