Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Paper Lace

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!).

Seramizza seramidon
The Real Lyrics:
Tried to make that town his own
The Story: It was 1974 and i was up late with my cousin: we would tape some songs from foreign radios and this one came up. For like 20 years I didn't even know the title or who sang it. Seramizza seramidon doesn't mean a thing in Italian, but it sounds great... - Submitted by: Leonardo
