Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Shania Twain
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!).

Black guys, I don't need 'em.

Black eyes, I don't need 'em.
The Story: I was at my friend's house and we were blasting this song and singing at the top of out lungs. I honestly thought the words were 'black guys, I don't need em' so when that part came on, that's what I sung. My friend just turned around and started hysterically laughing at me. When I asked why, she wouldn't tell me. So I kept on singing that until I looked up the real lyrics to the song. God, I wish she told me the right lyrics 2 years ago, would have saved me the embarassment! - Submitted by: Mandy

But just look at us scoldin' 'em
The Real Lyrics:
But just look at us holdin' on
The Story: Before I knew the actual lyrics, it always seemed weird to me that she put so much emphasis on "'em" (them), like if you were really excited about scolding a group of people, wouldn't you tell us more about them in the song? Who are you scolding? And why? What did they do? Are they the same 'em as in Bonnie Raitt's "Let's Give 'Em Something To Talk About"? - Submitted by: Cel
Shania Twain's, "You're Still the One"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Just look at the sordid nun.
The Real Lyrics:
Just look at us holding on.
The Story: It's been stuck in my head off and on for years, just this one stupid line. After twenty years of being bewildered I finally looked it up today. I still think it sounds like the singer wants to have a threesome with her "one" and a slutty catholic clergywoman. [Editor's note: This line is from Shania Twain's "You're Still the One", not Orleans' "Still the One". "You're Still the One" came out on the radio in 1998, and the album it is on, Come On Over, was released in 1997, so it hasn't been a whole 20 years.] - Submitted by: Bill
