The Dave Mathews Band

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!).

The Dave Mathews Band's, "Crash"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Hike up your skirt you little boy

The Real Lyrics:

Hike up your skirt a little more

The Story: I was riding in the car with my best friend Kelly and our dates. All of a sudden her date demanded that we change this song because it was sick and perverted. We asked what he was talking about and he told us that it was about mollesting children. We looked at him in amazment as he explaned about the lyrics. When he was done we all started to laugh at him hysterically, and explained that he had misheard. He never called Kelly again. To this day she blames me for ruining a good relationship. - Submitted by: Tiffany Weber
