Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> W.A.S.P.

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!).

W.A.S.P.'s, "Fistful Of Diamonds"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I got a fistful, fistful of diamonds,
The minions are calling my name
The Real Lyrics:
I got a fistful, fistful of diamonds,
The millions are calling my naem
The Story: When I first heard this song in 1996, I was just starting to get into W.A.S.P. for the first time and bought 'The Last Command' CD at a used record shop in the next city over from me. I got it home, listened to it, thought 'Oh, cool, Blackie Lawless likes The Minion too!' and proceeded to learn my incorrect lyrics to this song. When I looked in my lyrics to it, there was no mention of The Minion and I felt really stupid as I though there were. To this day, when I hear this song, I still hear my 'Minion' lyrics even though I know they aren't there. - Submitted by: Sandi
