Marley Marl & MC Shan

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!).

Marley Marl & MC Shan's, "Marley Marl Scratch"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I'm gonna give the neighbourhood a realsome credit

The Real Lyrics:

I'm gonna give the man behind the wheels some credit

The Story: This song is on the infamous Steetsounds compilation 'Electro 8'. I grew up listening to the Electro albums and was very into the scratch and rap scene that came across to the UK from America. Being a teenager at the time, I didn't understand a lot of the lyrics, so there are probably plenty of misheard lyrics I could submit but, for some reason, I always remember this one! - Submitted by: Garry Davenport
