Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Stone Temple Pilots

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!).

Stone Temple Pilots', "All In The Suit That You Wear"
The Misheard Lyrics:
It's in the soup that you wear.
The Real Lyrics:
It's in the suit that you wear.
The Story: When I heard this song announced on the radio, all I could think about was a baby eating soup and dumping it on their head! - Submitted by: metalgirl162002
The Misheard Lyrics:
Tick tock

Take time
The Story: Sounded like “tick tock” when I heard this song. - Submitted by: Cody Finke
Stone Temple Pilots', "Piece of Pie"
The Misheard Lyrics:
It's starting me down
Wearing a crown of apple peels
The Real Lyrics:
It's staring me down
Wearing a crown of apathy
The Story: This just struck me out of the blue very recently, but it did make me slap my forehead. I had always assumed what I heard was right. I figured it was something weird enough for STP to say in a song. I don't know why I never bothered to read the lyrics in 9 years. Oh well. - Submitted by: C Johnson
The Misheard Lyrics:
Toboggan, toboggan, toboggan
The Real Lyrics:
To find her, To find her, to find her
The Story: It came on at work one day on KROQ. My (friend) and I were in the shop when this came on. After I heard the chorus, I thought of that bobsledding sport, toboggan or whatever. I put 2 and 2 together; and needless to say, we were laughing our a***s off. - Submitted by: unf
The Misheard Lyrics:
When the dogs devour her,
got time time to wait for tomorrow to find him,
to find him, to find him
The Real Lyrics:
When the dogs do find her,
got time time to wait for tomorrow to find it,
to find it, to find it
The Story: I only found out that the lyrics weren't right on this site! I have been singing the wrong lyrics for years! Now I think my version is much better hehe. I was trying to find out the name of the song and I was searching sites for lyrics, and this is the only part I could remember, ... I wonder why I couldn't find it... - Submitted by: bir0
Stone Temple Pilots', "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Took it out my paper heart
The Real Lyrics:
Don't cut out my paper heart
The Story: I was 18; I had no idea what I was hearing. - Submitted by: Steffen
Stone Temple Pilots', "Tumble in the Rough"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Dead fish don't swim around in Jill's thighs.
The Real Lyrics:
Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides.
The Story: The song is largely nonsensical. I thought Scott Weiland was just singing about the impulsiveness he feels after coming off a drug high. It made sense to me, given that all other things in that song seemed disorganized. I thought 'well, why object to Weiland putting a reference to something really perverse in there?' When I looked at the lyrics, I felt like a dummy and thought 'Will you friggin' enunciate properly, Weiland?' - Submitted by: J.D.
