Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Smashmouth

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!).

Smashmouth's, "All-Star"
The Misheard Lyrics:
She was looking kinda dumb,
with her finger in her bum
in a, shape like an elf on a forehead
The Real Lyrics:
She was looking kinda dumb,
with her finger and her thumb,
in a shape of an L on her forehead
The Story: When I first heard the song I thought the lyrics sounded really weird. So I wrote them down on a piece of paper and waited till I found out what the real lyrics were. When I finally found out what they were I was laughing my head off. - Submitted by: Cren
