Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Gorillaz
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!).

Gorillaz's, "The Apprentice"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I remember
The Real Lyrics:
I am a mirror
The Story: For the longest time, I thought this line was "I remember", as in "I remember all the atrocities I've had to witness over these past several years; don't expect me to forget so easily." It was only after I went to a lyrics website that I realized it was "I am a mirror"--probably shorthand for "What you see in me is a reflection of what you see in yourself". Still a powerful lyric for a powerful song. - Submitted by: Kung-Fu Cutbug
