Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Wang Chung

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!).

Wang Chung's, "Dance Hall Days"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Dance your legs off.
The Real Lyrics:
Dance hall days
The Story: The misheard lyrics were actually heard by a long lasting friend. But I have never been able to listen to the song without singing, 'Dance your legs off.' In fact, I have insisted that my 15 year old son know 'both' versions of the song. (He'll have to decide when he is my age!) - Submitted by: Mary Celia Decker
Wang Chung's, "Dance Hall Days"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Take your baby by the ears
And lay upon her doggie smears.
The Real Lyrics:
Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears.
The Story: For 20 years, I thought those were the correct lyrics until my wife burst out laughing when I was singing it (April 2006). - Submitted by: Steve Mirmina
Wang Chung's, "Dance Hall Days"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth, you have a p***
And on her breasts, you suck and chew.
The Real Lyrics:
Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes, two sapphires blue.
The Story: The P part of the lyric was suggested by one of my sisters, who is usually much more refined. I always heard the next line as 'amethyst', but we both agreed that didn't make a whole lot of sense. I have no comment on the next line. - Submitted by: Chris
