Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Red Rider

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 Misheard Lyrics:
Could be laughing in the bathroom
At the private stall, whoa

Take back a whole lot more, whoa

Could be laughing in the back room
At the private store, whoa
If he's there to give a favor
Take back a whole lot more, whoa
