Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Guess Who

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!).

Guess Who's, "No Sugar Tonight"
The Misheard Lyrics:
No sugar tonight, because of you
No sugar tonight, not me!
The Real Lyrics:
No sugar tonight, in my coffee
No sugar tonight, in my tea.
The Story: I always sang these wrong lyrics until one day I was with my mom and my sister and we were all jamming out to this song. At this part they both stopped, turned it down, looked at me and said, 'What did you say?' They made so much fun of me!! - Submitted by: Laura Reed
Guess Who's, "These Eyes"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Sew curtains on me, yeah!
The Real Lyrics:
The hurtin' on me, yeah
The Story: My friend and I used to cruise around with this guy who would sing this lyric LOUDLY whenever "These Eyes" played on the radio. We tried to keep from cracking up, because he was the only one with a car. - Submitted by: JD
