Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Sandy Wereman

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!).

Sandy Wereman's, "Interplanet Janet"
The Misheard Lyrics:
They say our solar system is centered 'round the sun, Nine planets, large and small, parading by. But somewhere out in space, There's another shining face That you might see some night up in the sky. Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl, A solar system Ms. from a future world, She travels like a rocket with her comet team And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen, No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen. She's been to the Sun, it's a lot of fun, It's a hot-spot, It's a gas! Hydrogen and helium in a big, bright, glowing mass. It's a star, it's a star! So Janet got an autograph! Mercury was near the Sun so Janet stopped by, But the mercury on Mercury was much too high, so Janet split for Venus but on Venus she found She couldn't see a thing for all the clouds around. Earth looked exciting, kind of green and inviting, So Janet thought she'd give it a go. But the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to Janet, She didn't even dare to say hello. It's a bird, it's a plane! Why, it must be a UFO! But it was, Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl, A solar system Ms. from a future world, She travels like a rocket with her comet team And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen, No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen. Mars is red and Jupiter's big And Saturn shows off its rings. Uranus is built on a funny tilt And Neptune is its twin, And Pluto, little Pluto, is the farthest planet from the Sun. They say our solar system is not alone in space. The Universe has endless mystery. Some future astronaut May find out that what he'd thought was a shooting star instead turned out to be... Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl, A solar system Ms. from a future world, She travels like a rocket with her comet team And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen, No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen. She's been to Earth, but when the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to Janet, She did say hello. She's been to the Sun; it's a lot of fun, and Janet got an autograph because the Sun is a star! It's a star, it's a star! So Janet got an autograph! Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl, A solar system Ms. from a future world, She travels like a rocket with her comet team And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen, No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen.
The Real Lyrics:
They say our solar system is centered 'round the sun, Nine planets, large and small, parading by. But somewhere out in space, There's another shining face That you might see some night up in the sky. Interplanet Sattlite, she's a galaxy girl, A solar system Ms. from a future world, She travels like a sattlite with her comet team And there's never been a planet Sattlite hasn't seen, No, there's never been a planet Sattlite hasn't seen. She's been to the Sun, it's a lot of fun, It's a hot-spot, It's a gas! Hydrogen and helium in a big, bright, glowing mass. It's a star, it's a star! So Sattlite got an autograph! Mercury was near the Sun so Janet stopped by, But the mercury on Mercury was much too high, so Sattlite split for Venus but on Venus she found She couldn't see a thing for all the clouds around. Earth looked exciting, kind of green and inviting, So Sattlite thought she'd give it a go. But the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to Sattlite, She didn't even dare to say hello. It's a bird, it's a plane! Why, it must be a UFO! But it was, Interplanet Sattlite, she's a galaxy girl, A solar system Ms. from a future world, She travels like a sattlite with her comet team And there's never been a planet Sattlite hasn't seen, No, there's never been a planet Sattlite hasn't seen. Mars is red and Jupiter's big And Saturn shows off its rings. Uranus is built on a funny tilt And Neptune is its twin, And Pluto, little Pluto, is the farthest planet from the Sun.

Interplanet Sattlite, she's a galaxy girl, A solar system Ms. from a future world, She travels like a sattlite with her radio team And there's never been a planet Sattlite hasn't seen, No, there's never been a planet Sattlite hasn't seen. She's been to Earth, but when the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to Sattlite, She did say hello. She's been to the Sun; it's a lot of fun, and Sattlite got an autograph because the Sun is a star! It's a star, it's a star! So Sattlite got an autograph! Interplanet Sattlite, she's a galaxy girl, A solar system Ms. from a future world, She travels like a sattlite with her radio team And there's never been a planet Sattlite hasn't seen, No, there's never been a planet Sattlite hasn't seen.
