Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Olivia Newton-John

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!).

Olivia Newton-John's, "Hopelessly Devoted To You"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Guess mine is not the first arm broken.
The Real Lyrics:
Guess mine is not the first heart broken.
The Story: My son wanted to know what that song was that he heard about the broken arm. From what he was saying, I knew it was this song he was talking about. - Submitted by: Megan Wallis
Olivia Newton-John's, "Hopelessly Devoted To You"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I nodded my head.
The Real Lyrics:
I'm out of my head.
The Story: I loved this song as a child, with the Grease soundtrack on a double-record set at age 6 (having since worn down all the grooves). I was well into adulthood before I realized she wasn't saying 'I nodded my head'. Source of much amusement for my friends at the Grease 20th anniversary rerelease a few years back! - Submitted by: Chrandy
Olivia Newton-John's, "Twist Of Fate"
The Misheard Lyrics:
It's gotta be a strange twisted scar face.
The Real Lyrics:
It's gotta be a strange twist of fate.
The Story: I was listening to this song with a friend when we were in our early teens. I kept seeing her sing along, but her mouth wasn't moving exactly to the lyrics. I asked her what she was singing. She said the misheard lyric mentioned. I asked her what the song was called. She said, 'Twist of Fate'. Not the brightest girl. - Submitted by: Grant
