Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> White Zombie

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!).

White Zombie's, "More Human Than Human"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Ball chew bam bamba chew chew bam
The Real Lyrics:
More human than human
The Story: It was summertime, and MTV was playing the music video all the time. We never found out the actual lyrics until months later. We were like 'Wow these guys are cracked out saying weird s***!' We just always sang it the wrong way. I think it's better the way we thought it went. - Submitted by: Paul Kim

Don't give me your heebies.
The Real Lyrics:
More human than human
The Story: I was at a White Zombie gig, trying to impress my brother's friends by saying that my favourite White Zombie song was the one about giving you the heebies. Blank looks were all around until I attempted to sing the song. - Submitted by: Diane

Falls you, bam, bam, buh, jooo.
The Real Lyrics:

The Story: My sister was about 13 when she heard this song for the first time, and tried to make sense of the chorus. We busted up laughing over the apparently nonsensical phrase she came up with, and how fun it is to sing along with the new words. - Submitted by: Ed Cuchillo
