Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Nik Kershaw

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!).

Nik Kershaw's, "Wouldn't It Be Good?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
My bolt on spirit is frozen to the core.
The Real Lyrics:
My broken spirit is frozen to the core.
The Story: I sang it this way for about 2 years. I always wondered what the heck a bolt-on spirit was. I thought it was some bizarre phrase from the 80's that I had totally missed. It sounded like gibberish to me. Then I found out the real lyrics, and it made so much more sense. Boy did I feel pretty stupid!!! - Submitted by: Miss R Bicker
