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 Story: I only realized this today when my little sis sang them the right way. I always wondered... - Submitted by: Clare
Pink's,
"Don't Let Me Get Me"
I got my own warts and I'm mean
I'm my own worst enemy
The Story: At my birthday party we had to sing a song, and of course my friends chose me to sing 'Don't Let Me get me' and I was really confused in those lyrics!! I chose not to sing that line, but running through my head was 'I got my own warts and I'm mean'!!! Sad, huh??!! - Submitted by: Lara Westerhof
Pink's,
"Family Portrait"
In our freddy portrait
We look pretty gappy
We look pretty trauma
Let's go back to dad.
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that.
The Story: I was listening to the lyrics when suddenly my friend started to chip in with "YMCA'. She was so offputting that I heard the lyrics to Pink's song as, 'In our freddy portrait.' When I sung them to my other friends, they burst out laughing and told me the real ones. - Submitted by: Rox-Elizabeth
Pink's,
"Get This Party Started"
Get this body started.
Get this party started.
The Story: My aunt was discussing with her sister over what the lyrics to the Pink song was; you know, the one where she talks about her Mercedes. She always thought it was 'Get this body started' until I corrected her. - Submitted by: John Joseph A. Gatchalian
Most guys want a man with a big d***.
Most girls want a man with the mean green.
The Story: I screamed (the offending lyric) at the top of my lungs when the song came up at a party! - Submitted by: What
No onions to send me to outer space.
or
No oh-yeahs to send me inter-outer space.
No orbits to send me into outer space.
The Story: Ever since going down her supposed 'rock' route, simultaneously Pink has lost the only morsel of clarity she had remaining in her voice. So now it's just a gravelly, incoherent mess most of the time that makes being able to hear what she's saying akin to a Rubik's cube. This is just one of the multitude of results from attempting to decipher that noise that comes out of her mouth. [Ed.'s note: "That noise" has also not sold as many records as her last album. So, Devil, take consolation in that.] - Submitted by: Devil Jones
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to masturbate tonight.
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight.
The Story: I heard the part about "you and your hand tonight", then "you don't want to mess with me tonight'. (Put 2 and 2 together.) - Submitted by: JG
