Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Sheriff

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!).

Sheriff's, "When I'm With You"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Baby, I can't choose when I'm with you.
Baby, my room stands still when I'm with you.
The Real Lyrics:
Baby, oh I get chills when I'm with you.
Baby, my world stands still when I'm with you.
The Story: My wife made the rare and dreaded double error on this one. I heard her sing the 'I can't choose' line, and started to crack up. I completely missed the next botch until later. I couldn't believe she messed up 2 lines back to back. - Submitted by: Umamough
