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!).

I wanna f*** the ones AMV, AMV
I wanna f*** the ones I envy, I envy
The Story: I heard "I envy" as "AMV". AMV is an abbreviation for Anime Music Video, a fan-made music video consisting of clips from one or more Japanese animated shows or movies set to an audio track, often songs or promotional trailer audio. - Submitted by: Alex Caspian

I'm gonna take my horse to the hotel room, gonna ride till I can't no more.
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road, gonna ride till I can't no more.
The Story: I actually never understood why the title was Old Town Road, since I never heard a reference to a road in the song. I thought it was a dirty song about a rapping cowboy having a passionate tryst with his horse. - Submitted by: Joel

It's hard for you when you're fartin'
And nobody knows it when you're silent.
It's hard for you when you're fightin'
And nobody knows it when you're silent.
The Story: I didn't hear anything different when I fixed the volume, so I gave up. But I did think, what's wrong here? Aren't Silent But Deadly farts preferable because you can pass them off on someone else? - Submitted by: Joelle
