Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Dave Dudley

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!).

ICC is a checking on down the line Well, I'm a little overweight and my lo book's 'way behind But nothing bothers me tonight. I can dodge all the scales tonight
The Story: I was about 7 years old when I'd hear this on the radio in the morning when I got ready for school. What I submitted is really what I heard. - Submitted by: Mona Biehl
