Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> New Kids On The Block

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 Misheard Lyrics:
We'll leave all you party people s**kin' the d*cks
The Real Lyrics:
We'll leave all you party people stuck in a daze
The Story: more embarassing than funny, but ever since I was twelve (over 13 years ago) I thought the above 'obscene' lyric was the right one. However, most people would say I should be embarassed for even knowing the song... - Submitted by: KM
New Kids On The Block's, "Popsicle"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You're my popsicle,
pull the paper down your naked girl
The Real Lyrics:
You're my popsicle,
from the very first time I met you girl, you captured me
The Story: When i was a preteen this was very damaging to me to think my new kids were singing about sex. Especially Joey Joe, who was like 14 when this song came out. When I got to high school, my friends told me the real lyrics, and I was relieved. - Submitted by: ariane
