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!).

We jet to Ibiza
The people are shrieking.
The Story: I was looking the song up because it was on an episode of "The Hills". I was listening to the song in the episode, and I thought (Hilary sang "streaking". When I found out that it was "shrieking", I burst into laughter; because of how "streaking" is so against what the song is about. - Submitted by: Alex M

The Story: I was really tired and bored when I was coming home when this song played on the radio.

The Story: My cousins, Annie and Bianca, and I were having a sleepover. After lights out, we decided to have a bit of a sing-along where each of us was supposed to sing a song. Bianca chose this song and suddenly blurted out 'Let it wash away my sameni'. Annie and I were like 'WHAT' and burst out laughing. We still talk about it now! - Submitted by: StephanieJF
