Fergie

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!).

Fergie's, "Big Girls Don't Cry"

The Misheard Lyrics:

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses his pancake.

The Real Lyrics:

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket.

The Story: We were listening to it at work and I heard this song and thought she was singing about some poor kid who had to leave his pancake behind. I had all my co-workers in the office quiet down so they could hear the pancake line. They all laughed and said that she sang blanket. I still was not convinced so I looked it up online and saw that, alas, it was blanket, not pancake. - Submitted by: Miranda

Fergie's, "Big Girls Don't Cry"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I need to be with myself
In center, clarity, peace, serenity.

The Real Lyrics:

I need to be with myself
Instead of calamity, peace, serenity.

The Story: I realized that I was singing the wrong lyrics when I received some curious looks at the office. In my defense, however, it really does sound like it says "center, clarity"! - Submitted by: John

Fergie's, "Glamorous"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Half a million buttered scones

The Real Lyrics:

Half a million for the stones

The Story: I thought the song was stupid to begin with then I heard the scones line. Now I'm really upset that this is not the real lyric. It would have really added to the song. - Submitted by: Nyssa

Fergie's, "Glamorous"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I'm a shrimp thing.

The Real Lyrics:

Poppin' champagne

The Story: I was in gym class with my friend and they had the radio on. We were singing along to this song when all of sudden my friend goes, "Did Fergie just call herself a shrimp thing?" What IS a shrimp thing, anyway? - Submitted by: Mr. Sally
