Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Ultravox

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!).

Ultravox's, "New Europeans"
The Misheard Lyrics:
A quiet man sits cheek to cheek
With yer knickers signed in chrome
The Real Lyrics:
A lonely man sits cheek to cheek
With unique designs in chrome
The Story: I really thought Midge Ure sang those words. It was puzzling, given the overall grandeur of the band's style. Mind you, I was twelve at the time so might be forgiven... - Submitted by: Ana
