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!).
Meteora album at Amazon.com
Take on the fatithlessness with you.
Take all your faithlessness with you.
The Story: I bought Meteora, and it was my first time listening to LP. I thought to myself, "Wow! this music is really dark." Because I really thought they were singing this. - Submitted by: Gabriel
It's so Matt cheesier to gun.
It's so much easier to run.
The Story: My friend said, 'I thought one of the band members was allergic to dairy.' I told her the real lyrics were 'easier to run'. She replied, 'Oh now I'm hungry for some cheese.' - Submitted by: kyle
You become a polar bear.
You've become a part of me.
The Story: I keep listening to this part of the song, to try to catch the lyrics. I thought it was kind of cute that Linkin Park sings about a polar bear. When I asked my husband to listen to it, he also couldn't quite catch it and agree with me that it was 'polar bear'. - Submitted by: epidote
In the memory of Bambi
A** burning up
The duck is holding me tightly
Until the scum rises up.
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
The Story: Even though my sister had the lyrics for the song, this is just how it sounded to us on the CD. Now whenever we sing it, we use our 'version' instead and crack up laughing. - Submitted by: Scarlet
One miniature rock star
One minute you're on top.
The Story: I was showing my best friend Meteora and she was asking me if she could hear the miniature rock star song. I was like, wtf? When 'Hit The Floor' came on, she started saying 'miniature rock star'. Then I realized what she was on about. When I posted this in a magazine, the editor said that a lot of journalists heard it that way, too. - Submitted by: Gabz_LP
We're miniature rock stars!
No you're not, watch it drop
Thinking you're hot stuff!
One minute you're on top
Now you're not, watch it drop
Thinking your hot stuff.
The Story: I was with my BFF and was trying to sing karaoke to this song as she whispered the lyrics into my ear. When she said "We're miniature rock stars!" I fell over laughing and couldn't complete the song. - Submitted by: Ellie
I've become my mom
And I hate you, Dad.
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there.
The Story: My sister, poor thing, thought they were singing this. She realized her mistake when our brother gave her a crazy look and told her the right lyrics whenever they were listening to music. Needless to say, she felt silly! lol - Submitted by: Rayna
I've become so young.
I've become so numb.
The Story: I was talking to my friend. This song track came on on the cd, and we were listening to it. I told her, 'OMG. I love this song, but why is it called "Numb"?' Sort of an inside joke; call it a trickism if you meet anyone with the same problem. - Submitted by: Keeba Kuba
Blew Up Jerry D, this is a f***ing mess to see.
Reverse psychology, is failing miserably.
The Story: I had on this cd, and for some reason, my mom came in. She stood there and listened for a moment, then turned to my with a horrified look. She asked, 'Why are they talking about blowing Jerry? That isn't funny!' Needless to say, she was pretty amused when I showed her the real lyrics. - Submitted by: Amy Perry
