Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Patsy Cline

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!).

Patsy Cline's, "Crazy"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I'm crazy for Brian, crazy for Brian
And I'm crazy for lovin' Hugh.
The Real Lyrics:
I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you.
The Story: One of my mother's favourite songs, and she would do the house work to it. I basically learned the lyrics to the vacuum accompaniment. At 5 years old, I always wondered why she sang about two guys. - Submitted by: craig macpherson
Patsy Cline's, "I Fall To Pieces"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I call two geeses
Each time I hear your name.
The Real Lyrics:
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again.
The Story: Car radios in those days weren't all that clear. My mother never was good at understanding the words. One day when this came on, she said that's the stupidest song I ever heard. When asked why, she said "Why would anyone sing 'I call two geeses each time I hear your name?" - Submitted by: Dana
Patsy Cline's, "I Fall To Pieces"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You walk by and I call you Jesus.
The Real Lyrics:
You walk by and I fall to pieces.
The Story: I had only a cheap AM radio, and the sound quality was poor. I thought it was a country religious song. I thought it was maybe about Mary Magdalene or something. I still think it's a good optional lyric...or story. - Submitted by: Lynda Akin
Patsy Cline's, "Walking After Midnight"
The Misheard Lyrics:
The doctor sees a weeping willow
Crying on my pillow.
The Real Lyrics:
I stop to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow.
The Story: A couple of nights ago, I heard a karaoke singer singing this song. The lines cited struck me as if she were singing the words as misheard above. I got to thinking about it, and realized it wouldn't be hard to mishear the original singer's version similarly! - Submitted by: Donna Gelpigi
