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!).

The Story: What I thought I heard when I heard it in the Winnie the Pooh knockoff toy whose name was "Gout" reviewed by Mike Mozart (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwX5DYJdB6c) and we all had to wonder what the song was until someone commented that it was "Around the World" by Aqua! - Submitted by: Cody Finke

I'm a party girl, in a party world
I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world
The Story: I first heard the lyrics to this song during a math competition trip in my senior year of high school. At that time, I thought I heard "I'm a party girl" etc. A few years later, after I started college, I tried to look up the lyrics to this song, but I initially had little success. Upon further research, however, I realized that I misheard "Barbie" as "party." I still think "party" sounds funnier in this context. - Submitted by: Wu Mingshi
