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!).

A leaky bum in the air
A licky boom boom down
The Story: Lyrics are generally incomprehensible but this is one of the few lines that can more or less be deciphered albeit inaccurately. Puzzled as to how the artist manages to pronounce the word "down" in a manner that sounds more like "air" but it is so. - Submitted by: Tony Hamilton
And farmer, you know your son he looky like a whale

Informer, you no say Daddy me Snow me I'll go blame

The Story: My friend was singing this in her car on the way to the airport to go on our first holiday together. I overheard her lyrics, and was laughing so much it took me 5 mins to tell her why I was laughing. - Submitted by: Kelly Primrose

(Song has a Jewish context)
Informer, you no say
Daddy me

A licky Boom Boom Down.
The Story: It's only the rap towards the end, with coherent words that I could even identify this song, heard in a store while shopping. I stopped to listen. Police. Telephone. Snowman. Without those words, this song would be a mystery for another 20 years. - Submitted by: Rizz

The Story: As a kid I thought the 'leaky bum bum' was a side effect of the line that mentions the police 'looking up his bottom'. - Submitted by: Mariko
I lick yo bum bum now
I licky boom boom dem
The Story: I have always thought that this part of the song said "I lick your bum bum now" since I was a child growing up in the late '90s/early 2000s. I always thought it was hilarious and I still honestly do years later, lol it is a great laugh. Just recently I heard it again on the radio after all this time and it brought back funny memories. I like to imagine that's what he's really saying when I listen to the song :p - Submitted by: Madi

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

The Story: i thought "in-worry" was equivalent to "'n worry" like why worry and worry and worry? - Submitted by: Heather
