Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Offspring

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!).

Offspring's, "Killboy Powerhead"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Little boy without a head
The Real Lyrics:
Killboy powerhead
The Story: This misheard lyric, coupled with offspring's other song 'Beheaded', made me think the band had an obsession with chopping off heads. - Submitted by: Mike
Offspring's, "Nitro (Youth Energy)"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Ain't gonna live with Audrey.
The Real Lyrics:
Ain't gonna live it for me.
The Story: I was listening to this song and was thinking, 'Who the h***'s Audrey and what does she have to do with the song?' then I looked in the booklet and found the real lyrics but when ever I sing this, just for fun I still say 'Ain't gonna live with Audrey!' It's funny and sounds completely random. - Submitted by: Rynn
