Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Five Man Electrical Band

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!).

Five Man Electrical Band's, "Signs"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And the wine said, 'Don't eat any people, eat apple pie!'
The Real Lyrics:
And the sign said, 'Long-haired freaky people need not apply.'
The Story: My friend was singing along to her headphones on the bus. We were all listening to what she was singing. She sang, 'And the wine said don't eat any people, eat apple pie'. We all laughed at her. [Ed's note: And I assumed the bus driver had to pull over and tell you and your friends to stop the laughter, if I'm not mistaken.] - Submitted by: Skirt
