Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Funkadelic

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!).


America Eats Its Young album at Amazon.com
Funkadelic's, "Super Stupid"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Super Stupid thought life ain't fair.
Thought he was cool but he was scared.
...
Oh Stupid what you up to now you maggot brain you're crazy and proud!
Super Stupid your end is near you're up for a fight but you're wailin' in fear
The Real Lyrics:
Super Stupid bought a nickel bag.
Thought it was coke but it was skag
...
Oh Stupid with your ups and downs your maggot brain your grins and frowns
Super Stupid you're here today you've lost the fight and the winner is fear
The Story: I was in a band in the 90's in high school and we covered this awesome song and we spent a full afternoon "deciphering" the lyrics and sang them with great emotion, believing it was about a popular tough kid who was really an insecure scared kid. But it's about the devastation drugs can wreak on a person. Both versions make great songs lol (not when I sang it) - Submitted by: Craig E.
