Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Kool And The Gang

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!).

Kool And The Gang's, "Celebration"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Celebration time come on
let's celebrate
The Real Lyrics:
Celebrate good times,
come on let's celebrate
The Story: I always thought it was celebrate good times come on...but I heard a little kid at a baseball game singing celebration time and I thought maybe I was the idiot singing it wrong all these years. (It's seems to be the way it is sung at ball games - my son sings it the same way. ed) - Submitted by: Mommy
Kool And The Gang's, "Misled"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Someone's playing in the Garden
So enticing, should I take a bow?
The Real Lyrics:
Someone's playing in the garden
So enticing, should I take a bite?
The Story: I thought the garden referred to Madison Square Garden, which coincidentally I visited for the first time ever right when this song was out. Therefore, hearing the second line as "bow" made absolute perfect sense. - Submitted by: Rich Braham
