Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Joe Walsh

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!).

Joe Walsh's, "Rocky Mountain Way"
The Misheard Lyrics:
'Cuz the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the wavy hair.
The Real Lyrics:
'Cuz the Rocky Mountain Way
Is better than the way we had.
The Story: I listened to this song for years, when one day a buddy of mine was in the car. I said, "What does wavy hair have to do with anything?" He asked, "What?" I explained, "You know, the Rocky Mountain way is better than the wavy hair." He started laughing uncontrollably and nearly lost control of the car. Needless to say, I was embarressed. - Submitted by: Joe Sands
