Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Snow

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!).

And farmer, you know your son he looky like a whale

Snow's, "Informer"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I leaky bum bum now.
The Real Lyrics:
A licky boom-boom-down.

Snow's, "Informer"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Rice farmer, you gonna stone me that's who I'm gonna blame
'cos I licked your boom boom down
The Real Lyrics:
Informer, you no say that's who I'm gonna blame

The Story: We were listening to this one night, because... well, yeah. And those lyrics sounded might awkward. Now that we looked them up, they are more gibberish than awkward. Personally, the awkward lyrics are funnier to recite. Who wouldn't want to go to school and tell people "I licked your boom boom down"? - Submitted by: Ehab and Bryan
