Supertramp

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!).

Supertramp's, "Babaji"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Mama gee
or
Apology

The Real Lyrics:

Babaji

Supertramp's, "Potter"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I told this chick she could see my p****
And lay a cactus back in the confines of my home.

The Real Lyrics:

I told her strict she could see my prickled
Cactus back in the confines of my home.

The Story: On the Internet, there doesn't seem to be total agreement on what the lyrics really are here. (Is it for instance 'strict' or 'quick'?) For my part, I'm still pretty sure that my version is the correct one. At least, the hormone-filled teenager that I was when I first heard this song back in the mid-eighties was never in doubt that Potter was making a very direct proposal to some delicious broad. - Submitted by: Igor Molotov
