Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Eddie Rabbitt

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!).

Eddie Rabbitt's, "I Love A Rainy Night"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I love-a Ray Knight.
The Real Lyrics:
I love a rainy night.
The Story: I didn't really mishear this lyric. Back in 1986, when the Mets won the World Series, a local radio station played songs in honor of each of the players. They played this song for third baseman and series MVP Ray Knight. Even though I know that 'I love-a Ray Knight' is wrong, I always sing it whenever I hear the song, and remember fondly the days of Doc, Mookie, Lennie, and the Kid. - Submitted by: Jay Flynn
