Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Jefferson Airplane

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!).

Jefferson Airplane's, "Somebody To Love"
The Misheard Lyrics:
When the turkey's done, turkieeeees lie.
The Real Lyrics:
When the truth is found, to these lies.
The Story: I got the 45 of this song for Christmas when I was 7 or 8 years old. I guess I created a connection between the turkey we had for Christmas dinner and the Jefferson Airplane lyrics. - Submitted by: Tom Watson

The Story: Heard this from a friend in 1970 or so. She really though that was how it went. It was Thanksgiving time after all. - Submitted by: Jerry
Jefferson Airplane's, "White Rabbit"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Remember what the Good Book said
'Feed your head
Feed your head'.
The Real Lyrics:
Remember what the dormouse said
'Feed your head
Feed your head!'
The Story: This is actually a misheard lyric from my mother. We were on a road trip about a year and a half ago. 'White rabbit' came on, and we both began to sing along. When we got to the last line, I sang the actually line and she sang her version. She remarked that the original lyrics made so much more sense. For years, she had been wondering what the Bible had to do with the song. - Submitted by: Lindsay Day
