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!).

Maureen McGovern's, "Different Worlds (Theme from 'Angie')"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Love is sweet, love is kind.

The Real Lyrics:

Love it seeks, love it finds.

The Story: I remember my mother used to watch reruns of this show on ABC daytime when I was just three years old. I never paid much attention to the show but I loved the theme song. When my mother and I both heard this song, we had the exact same mishearing of the words above. When I told her what the real words were many years later, she was slightly disappointed because she felt that the mishearing sounded better. - Submitted by: jpete
