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!).

But my dreams, they are disempting
And my corn shez seems to pee
I have owwww, holy-moley.
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely.
The Story: I almost fell into the boot of my friend's car laughing when she was singing this as we were unloading a few things. At the time she'd only heard this song once and evidently hadn't paid attention to what Fred and his crew were whining about in the song. Still, I must say I prefer her rendition, especially with those interesting non-existent words. 'Disempting'? Wonder what that could possibly entail? - Submitted by: Missy Bass
I'm sucking your toe
I'm sick of you too
The Story: Actually, my English teacher misheard this one. We were doing a project for a book we were reading where we had to find songs that described the characters, and one of my friends chose this song. Being that my English teacher is not quite the type to be a real big fan of music like Limp Bizkit, she was completely clueless. After this lyric had been sung a few times, she turned to my friend with a puzzled look on her face and said 'Is he saying 'I'm sucking your toe'???' We all got a big laugh outta that one. - Submitted by: Kerianne
You don't wanna f*** with me today
'Cause a little southern sausage didn't go your way
So try not to beat that thing today
'Cause I'm a real motherf***er from outer space.
You don't wanna f*** with me today
'Cause a little somethin' somethin' didn't go your way
So try not to be like that today
'Cause I'm a real motherf***er from 'round the way.
The Story: It isn't really a mishearing. More of a 'misrecollection', since I couldn't remember many of the songs on the corresponding album (thanks to unexpected boredom and inattentiveness halfway through). Due to the futuristic, space-style music, I thought my incorrect words would've been apt, portraying some sort of confrontation between an alien and an earthling over food at a restaurant. - Submitted by: Missy Bass
You wanna f*** me like an cannibal.
You wanna f*** me like an animal.
The Story: I was listening to the LB CD my friend gave me. Then I heard about 'f***ing like a cannibal'. I thought, 'Whoa, he knows how cannibals f***???' My sister asked me to check the real lyric. I thought we both would die laughing! - Submitted by: Andrey Fedichkin
Check out, check out Penelope.
Check out, check out my melody.
The Story: I had an inkling he was saying melody, but to me it sounded like a song about his cousin, maybe. - Submitted by: Yvonne
Hey Roly Poly Roly Poly, what?
Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' Rollin', what?
The Story: My dad thought these were the words...we were in the car one day and he said how much he loved the song and just started singing it. It was hilarious! - Submitted by: Rob
Because I wanna sleep with Steve Gateley.
Because hate is all the world's ever seen lately.
The Story: This song came out around about the same time as the then member of Boyzone Steven Gateley 'came out' as being gay and I thought that Fred Durst was making some sort of commentary on current issues and how fans of boy bands were indoctrinated into following them by the mass media. How wrong I was! :-[ - Submitted by: Fletch
