Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Mary J. Blige & U2

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!).

Mary J. Blige & U2's, "One"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Love is a tampon
Love is a high and low.
The Real Lyrics:
Love is a temple
Love is the higher law.
The Story: I was playing and singing this song on my guitar. All of a sudden, I misinterpreted the lyrics and started belting out, 'Love is a tampon, love is a high and low' so loud, until I finally saw it on the lyric sheet from the U2 cd. I was totally mortified after that moment. - Submitted by: Jen
