Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Incubus

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!).

Incubus', "Are You In?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
When seafoam green is in the shell
The Real Lyrics:
When seafoam green is in fashion
The Story: I knew the right lyrics, and my brother was convinced it was 'in the shell' but we turned up the song really loud and listened to it, and when he heard that I was right, he shook my hand and said 'Good job.' Let's just say he doesn't question my knowledge of Incubus lyric's anymore, since I know every song by heart. - Submitted by: Jess
Incubus', "Drive"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Whatever the long run brings, I'll be there
The Real Lyrics:
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
The Story: I thought this was an Eagles reference. - Submitted by: Cody Finke
Incubus', "Nice To Know You"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Better than watching Sellers bending silver spoons
Deeper than the deepest Clouseau would ever go.
The Real Lyrics:
Better than watching Geller bending silver spoons
Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go.
The Story: I always thought this was about Peter Sellers and the character of Inspector Clouseau that he played in the "Pink Panther" movies. - Submitted by: Alan The Ottoman
Incubus', "Pardon Me"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Fart on me, while I burst into flames
Fart on me.
The Real Lyrics:
Pardon me, while I burst into flames
Pardon me.
The Story: So I was in my truck getting ready for work in the summer of 2000. I heard this song and thought he was saying 'Fart on me'. Well, I wouldn't have thought so, but he went on about bursting into flames. So it kind of all made me think he was talking about farting. - Submitted by: Jonathan T.
Incubus', "Pardon Me"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon I from the world
The Real Lyrics:
Pardon while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
The Story: I had owned the Incubus cd for awhile, and had looked over the lyrics time and time again, knowing the all the correct ones (well, most of them, anyway). But my brother was indignant about what he had heard, so I made him listen to the song, showed him the lyrics page in the cd cover, and read to him the correct ones (and they are correct). Funny thing is, he still thinks what he heard was right. - Submitted by: Shannon
Incubus', "Stellar"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Roxanne
The Real Lyrics:
You are stellar
The Story: I over heard a girl on the train singing 'Roxaaaaaane' I went up to her and said... you do know the lyrics are You are Stellar right? She laughed and continued with her newly aquired knowledge. - Submitted by: Junior
Incubus', "Stellar"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You are similar.
The Real Lyrics:
You are stellar.
Incubus', "Steller"
The Misheard Lyrics:
"You are Stellar" in the beginning
The Real Lyrics:
Roxanne
The Story: Not only does the Live at Red Rocks Dvd subtitle list it as "roxxanne", if you listen closely to the bass and the drums for the most part of the song follow a similar tune to "roxxanne" also incubus has listed numerous times that The Police was one of the bands favorite bands....that's enough clues for me to agree with it being "roxxanne" (also it sounds like hes singing the word "roxanne" like in the chorus of roxanne) - Submitted by: Shipley
Incubus', "The Warmth"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Not everyone here is fat, fucked up and cold.
The Real Lyrics:
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.
The Story: My brother thought those were the lyrics and would sing them loudly and proudly while we sniggered and shook our heads. - Submitted by: Dave
Incubus', "Wish You Were Here"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I wish you were hidden
The Real Lyrics:
I wish you were here
The Story: I swear it was a game of peekaboo! - Submitted by: Cody Finke
