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!).

Marylin Mansion's, "The Beautiful People"

The Misheard Lyrics:

The beautiful peep hole

The Real Lyrics:

The beautiful people

The Story: My best friend Abe and I were singing this song in band rehersals one day. We thought, 'The beautiful peep hole', and I couldn't stop laughing. The music director came in and wanted to know what was so funny. All I could get out was something about Abe and a peep-hole. - Submitted by: Mandy Sue
