Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> NRG

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!).

NRG's, "He Never Lost His Hardcore"
The Misheard Lyrics:
He never locked his car door.
The Real Lyrics:
He never lost his hardcore.
The Story: Trade London when it was good and gay. We were all more chemically challenged than you can be nowadays. First time I heard it, around 8 or 9 in the morning, could have even been Tony De Vit - probably was. That's all I could make out the lyric to be. I had never heard of hardcore, and didn't realise I was dancing to it. We giggled for several hour after, as it just sounded like a Tannoy announcement. We wondered which guys in the crowd would need to return to their car. - Submitted by: John Rymell
NRG's, "Never Lost His Hardcore"
The Misheard Lyrics:
He never locked his car door.
The Real Lyrics:
He never lost his hardcore.
The Story: On the dancefloor at a nightclub in the mid-90s, I shouted to a friend, "Is he really saying, 'He never locked his car door.'? That was followed by many hours of regurgitated giggles as the evening (and substances) progressed! - Submitted by: John Rymell
