Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Fall Out Boy

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: One day, I was having some roast beef for brunch in my girlfriend's house, when she played a song on the radio that I never heard before. "I catch feels whenever I listen to this song", she said. After a minute, I was quite getting in the mood with her... Until the chorus came in, right while she was dripping some sauce in her plate. I simply burst out laughing. "What's wrong?", she asked me. "Sorry, I couldn't hear anything else, but: I'm yours, WHEN THE GRAVY POURS." She stared at me for a moment, and then we laughed so hard that we almost forgot to finish our plates. She didn't remember the right lyrics either. All I know is that I completely ruined this song for her. From that day, she told me that she can't listen to the chorus anymore without imagining Patrick Stump pouring gravy on someone else's plate, in the most romantic way possible. - Submitted by: Lucas C.

When he was done, he was like "So, here's Fall Out Boy with 'This Ain't a Scene...'" Of course, I thought it was "arm brace", because as the DJ was saying the title, the intro had started playing, so I couldn't hear it right. I sang "arm brace" for the longest time, until I looked up the lyrics. - Submitted by: flipside

So, I decided to post some lyrics from TFTM. I put, "I only think in the form of crunching numbers/In hotel rooms, collecting patience for lovers". There was a HUGE gap between the times of my post and the next one, in which someone wrote, "It's 'collecting page six lovers, not collecting patience for lovers'." haha no wonder why no one else could get it! - Submitted by: flipside
