Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Kim Mitchell

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!).

Kim Mitchell's, "Alana Loves Me"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Pea brain
Alana loves me
Pea brain.
The Real Lyrics:
Be brave
Alana loves me
Be brave.
The Story: I, too, heard this lyric as 'Pea Brain' and actually wrote a letter to the CRTC expressing my disgust with the song's blatant diregard for the feelings of those who were ever nicknamed 'pea brain', and recommended that they review the appropriateness of this song for public airplay. Ohhh how silly I felt! - Submitted by: Mike Warren
Kim Mitchell's, "Patio Lanterns"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Patty O’Landers
The Real Lyrics:
Patio lanterns
The Story: I used to hear he song on the radio often, and I thought he was singing about a popular girl named Patty O’Landers. But I never could find the lyrics when I searched online. Then one day when I heard the song, I realized he was saying “Patio Lanterns.” - Submitted by: Dustin
