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!).

Bad anal, let me pee!
Bad Angel, let me be!
The Story: My Uncle misheard this. While we were driving to Chicago from Madison and he was in the passenger seat, this song came on. When it got to that part he was like “Why would he be talking about his anal being bad and not wanting to pee?” I said “He’s saying ‘Bad Angel, let me be’”. My Uncle said “Oh ok, I just thought he was saying something about his anal and not peeing, but I’m wrong”. I laughed so hard that I almost peed myself and caused a car crash! We had to make a pit-stop anyway at a rest area outside Rockford. - Submitted by: Riley Roth
