Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Roberta Flack & Maxi Priest

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!).

Roberta Flack & Maxi Priest's, "Set The Night To Music"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Set the knob to music.

The Real Lyrics:

Set the night to music.

The Story: This is actually what my sister thought the lyric was for the longest time. The other night, we were at a restaurant and the song came on. We started talking about it and she said, "Remember when I used to think this song said, 'Set the night to music'?" (She still thought it was 'knob'.) - Submitted by: Bob
