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!).

The Story: My 4 year old niece misheard this one. She is a major Marilyn Manson fan. One day she, my sister and I were over at our grandmother's when my sister drew a sketch of Marilyn Manson with a halo and scabbed wings and asked my niece who it was. My niece tells us that it's the angel with the scabbed wings and breaks into song singing 'It's the angel with the scabbed wings, hard drugs, face, what about his nose?' When my sister told me what she had sung, I thought it was pretty cute and even a little funny. After all, she is only 4! - Submitted by: Sandi
