Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Megadeth

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 System Has Failed album at Amazon.com
Megadeth's, "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due"
The Misheard Lyrics:
The Master Race, no one disgraced
No foolish nineties band.
The Real Lyrics:
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand.
The Story: I still hear 'nineties band' every time I listen to this. Though when I look up the lyric, it says otherwise. - Submitted by: Aston
Megadeth's, "Rust In Peace... Polaris"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I rise from the sea like a god.
The Real Lyrics:
I spread disease like a dog.
The Story: I was 100% certain this is what Dave sang until I read the lyrics sheet. To this day I think it both sounds better AND fits the subject matter better (as the Polaris nuclear missile was fired from a submarine). - Submitted by: Larsen
