Winger

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!).

Winger's, "Hungry"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I hear the chicken on the clock
countin' every day I've been alone

The Real Lyrics:

I hear the tickin' of the clock
countin' every day I've been alone

The Story: A friend of mine misheard this lyric. I had just gotten Winger's debut cassette for my 12th birthday and I had a slumber party for my birthday and my friend was sleeping over and I put on this song and she began to sing 'I hear the chicken on the clock countin' every day I've been alone'. I began to laugh and she asked me what was so funny and I told her. Well, needless to say, it took a few minutes and showing her the lyrics to convince her that her lyrics to the song were all wrong and for quite awhile after that, when she would spend the night at my house or come over, I would put the song on and refer to it as 'The Chicken Song'. So while Winger may have left the charts, they continued to live on in my house at sleepovers. - Submitted by: Sandi
