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, "Dare"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I'm coming up, I'm coming up, I'm coming up
I'm coming up the stairs
Ah, the stairs.
The Real Lyrics:
It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's dare
Ah, it's dare.
The Story: When I heard it on the radio, I was doing a job carrying a box up the stairs. I was thinking about how heavy it was...thinking of the word 'stairs'. - Submitted by: Harry
Gorillaz's, "Dare"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You've got a breadstick on you
You just think it, that's the voo-doo, baby
Hold it down now.
The Real Lyrics:
You've got to press it on you
You just think it, that's what you do, baby
Hold it down there.
The Story: I felt like a pillock for walking into my work singing, "You've got a breadstick on you." - Submitted by: Christine
Gorillaz's, "Feel Good, Inc."
The Misheard Lyrics:
Been there when their father landed.
The Real Lyrics:
Windmill, windmill for the land
The Story: I come from Singapore, where our pronunciation of English words are somewhat different. When the artists drag their words like in the song, we sometimes get a different (and comical) interpretation of the lyrics. - Submitted by: Anonymous
Gorillaz's, "Feel Good, Inc."
The Misheard Lyrics:
