Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Spandau Ballet

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!).

Spandau Ballet's, "Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I don't think it's personal
The Real Lyrics:
I don't need this pressure on
The Story: When I first time heard this song, I thought Spandau Ballet really sang 'I don't think it's personal'. When I bought a record containing that song, the song title gave me a hint that it was 'I don't need this pressure on'. - Submitted by: Bandy Boy
Spandau Ballet's, "Musclebound"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Work till your muscles howl, all night long
The Real Lyrics:
Work till you're musclebound, all night long
The Story: I was being big-headed, telling everyone I was a big Spandau fan, there wasn't a song of theirs I didn't know. When I got up to sing Musclebound, the whole of the pub cracked up. Needless to say, I never sing in public anymore, unless of course I know the right words. - Submitted by: Mandie Brammer
Spandau Ballet's, "True"
The Misheard Lyrics:
There's bunches, too.
The Real Lyrics:
This much is true.
The Story: This was my absolute favorite song when I was twelve years old. (My first slow dance with a girl, etc.) Six years later, I was singing the song with my best friend on our drive up to go skiing. He called me on it. "I know there's bunches, too?", he asked. "Bunches of what?", I replied. - Submitted by: Peter
