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 20 most recent songs that have been 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!).
When she womper slurpin' time
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine...
Windshield wipers slappin' time
Bobby thumbed a diesel down.
The Story: I was with a friend and he asked, "What the hell is she saying?" We kept rewinding it over and over and couldn't figure it out. We thought for sure she said something about "Slurpin' time" I didn't know if that meant happy hour or something. The more we played it over and over the more we laughed to the point where we couldn't breathe. Now, at the most random moments, we'll slur it like she did and start cracking up. People look at us like we're insane. - Submitted by: HypeAustin

Sully Bunny down and lions all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around
The Story: When I was in early elementary school, I had two big obsessions: rabbits and The Lion King. I spent a lot of my time thinking about either of them. So when I was in 2nd grade and "Wannabe" was a big hit, I was ecstatic to find that the Spice Girls mentioned both of the things I loved in the same line! (I didn't know why they named the rabbit, but if there was Peter Rabbit and Peter Cottontail, why not Sully Bunny?) I thought this was right for years, so needless to say, I was disappointed when I found out what they were really singing. - Submitted by: Cat

I'll be the greatest event of your life
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
The Story: I always thought the song went: cryin' soldier, love suicide, better when I'm older, greatest fan of your life.
It wasn't untill one night at karoke the I was informed by the prompt screen that it was: cryin' shoulder, love suicide, bettter when I'm older, greatest EVENT of your life.
So what is it? 'Cause I was raised in the 80's to believe everything the teleprompter says. (Well I just checked a couple of on-line sites and they say "greatest fan" - ed) - Submitted by: joel carsley
