Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Index

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.

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!).

Here's a couple of the most recent entries...

Kenny Loggins', "Whenever I Call You Friend"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Sweet love showing up on Saturday Night
The Real Lyrics:
Sweet love showin' us a heavenly light
The Story: I honestly thought this was inspired as a countermeasure to "Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody." I thought at least 2 people scored on the weekend, and now they want to extend that love 7 (or 8) days a week. - Submitted by: QuestingElf
Tom Jones', "It's Not Unusual"
The Misheard Lyrics:
It's not on you's. You ought to be a lump by any wall
The Real Lyrics:
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
The Story: didn't seem to make much sense - Submitted by: Yulan
