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!).

How big's your p***s?
Let's ride it like a legged spack.
Clutching your pillows
And writhing in a naked sweat.
The Story: You can thank my friend, who was singing this at the top of her voice in some really bad impersonation of Adam Levine. Because of this, I didn't really know what she was saying. Couple this with the fact I didn't know the words to the song anyway, my jaw dropped at the aforementioned line and I had to interject with a 'what the Hell did you just say?' Even though I've been stood corrected since then, I'm still wondering what a 'leggeds spack' could possibly be...? - Submitted by: Devil Jones

I fed you so many times
But somehow I want more.
I've had you so many times
But somehow I want more.
The Story: It puts a funny image in my head: The singer is a woman who sounds like a man, and is talking about how she is breastfeeding a baby. She enjoys it and wants to do it all the time. - Submitted by: Inferno714
You're the queen of only 80 sheep
Had some trouble with her fleece.
Beauty queen at only 18
She had some trouble with herself.
The Story: I went home and told my New Zealand friend that I heard a song written for her and her sheep. - Submitted by: Lou
You fill my heart with Gatorade.
You feel your heart begin to race.
The Story: My sister and I were playing Mario Party 4 late one night and she put Maroon 5's 'Songs About Jane' in my CD/Radio Clock. When we got to this part of the song, I said, 'Did he just say 'You fill my heart with Gatorade?'' She said no, but didn't say what the real lyrics were. - Submitted by: Kyle
Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, shed some skin.
Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin.
The Story: Let's hope it's *only* a really horrible skin disease. - Submitted by: Song
The radio, I leave
Darkness, she is all I see.
That may be all I need
Darkness, she is all I see.
The Story: I swear, until I found this site (the link was sent to me regarding the names of famous offspring), I had no idea of the correct lyrics to a song I love. I feel really, really stupid now. I must go make sure I'm not skewering other songs I love. - Submitted by: Jncjen
I don't know how I got so tangoed, oh.
I don't know how I got so tangled up.
The Story: I was singing it to my 3 year old cousin. The she started singing it every time that Tangoed advertisement came on TV. - Submitted by: E_k_anonymous
And trying to recreate images... Life gives us swamp ass.
And trying to recreate images life gives us from our past.
The Story: I still can't hear the real lyric in the song, and I crack up every time I play the song because its timing is off with the real lyric and the "swamp ass" lyric is that much more melodic and funny and damn true. - Submitted by: Martin
