Dr. Hook

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!).

Dr. Hook's, "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman"

The Misheard Lyrics:

When you're in love with a beautiful Wilma

The Real Lyrics:

When you're in love with a beautiful woman

The Story: One night when I was about 7, I asked my father to play "The Wilma Song". We spent hours searching through his collection of records for a song with "Wilma" on it. We called a local radio station. Because the DJ didn't know what it was, he asked for people to call in if they knew what it could be. Eventually, my father worked out what the song was and called the radio station back. The DJ agreed that it did sound like "Wilma", and played it for me. - Submitted by: Wayne
