Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys

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!).

The Misheard Lyrics:
I became a wintry tomato
The Real Lyrics:
Concrete Jungle where dreams are made of
The Story: The first time I heard this song I was like 6 or 7 , so I had barely any idea how music worked, and with the impossible-to-understand-the-words music that some people make, it's not that weird that I thought that it was different than what it was made to be. I sang the song with these lyrics for years until I figured out what they actually were, and now I find it hilarious. - Submitted by: Nunya Bizness
