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!).

I wanna hear you ragin' for.... my donkey worm
I wanna hear your engine roar.. my gun's still warm

Red rum, red rum, red rum, red rum!
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!
The Story: It really does sound like Vince is saying, "Red rum"! When I first heard this, I tried not to bust out laughing. I was thinking, "Are they just randomly putting something about The Shining in?" Now every time I listen to that song I wanna laugh. - Submitted by: Mother of 3 Ferrets
Open your eyes, it's like murder and Vice.
Open your eyes, it's like fire and ice.
The Story: I bought GTA: Vice City. While I was playing this game, this song came on, so I decided to sing it out loud. My Dad came in and slapped the hell out of me and said, 'It's fire and ice, it's fire and ice!!!' - Submitted by: Dylan Craver
