Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Peter Frampton

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!).

Peter Frampton's, "Baby I Love Your Way"
The Misheard Lyrics:
But don't pass a teddy bear
The Real Lyrics:
But don't hesitate
The Story: The way he pronounced the long "A" in "hesitate" gave three syllables made me think he said "teddy bear". - Submitted by: Cody Finke

Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like I Do?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Me and black-eyed Sue
The Real Lyrics:
feel like I do?
The Story: Frampton opened for Journey and obviously we weren't huge Frampton fans because my husband asked me, 'what about black-eyed Sue?' I was lost until he started singing, 'Me...and black-eyed Sue.' I told him what the real lyrics were, he considered them and said, 'Maybe.' - Submitted by: Kelly Stowell
Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like We DO"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Champagne for breakfast and a sherman in my hand. Peached up, Peached Ale, never fails, Must have been a dream, I don't believe where I've been, Come on, let's do it again.
The Real Lyrics:
Champagne for breakfast and a Sherman in my hand. Peach top, Peach tails, never fails, Must have been a dream, I don't believe where I've been, Come on, let's do it again.
The Story: A Sherman is an expensive brand of cigarette. Peach top, Peach tails refers to the color of shirt and pants Peter was wearing when the song was recorded. When he is wearing different colored clothes, the lyrics change to reflect (e.g. black top, blue tails for a black shirt and jeans). - Submitted by: Tim
Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Dropped into a taxi, bent the boot, hit the bag,
Had to play some music for the boys in drag
The Real Lyrics:
Drove into a taxi, bent the boot, hit the back,
Had to play some music, otherwise he'd crack
The Story: Peter Frampton and Humble Pie were from San Francisco right? Song set in SF, protagonist escapes the scene of a crime buy dropping into a taxi and then consuming some of the contents of a bag of narcotics which he had hidden in his boot, while on his way to perform in the city.... - Submitted by: jk
Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Funk man on the keyboards
Funk man
The Real Lyrics:
Bob Mayo on the keyboards, Bob Mayo
The Story: I've listened to this song since it came out. There is no way you can get Bob Mayo out of what Frampton calls the keyboardist. Must be a nick name or something. - Submitted by: Russ Houston
Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Funkman on the keyboards, Funkman!
The Real Lyrics:
Bob Mayo on the keyboards, Bob Mayo
The Story: I got in a huge argument with two guys on Youtube about what Pete Frampton says there. I thought it would have been really funny (and it was truly what I thought Peter Frampton said) if it would have been funkman. But it seems like the general consensus is that he is saying Bob Mayo -> makes sense since Bob Mayo is playing the keyboards here. - Submitted by: Art Corevelay
Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Great stuff, great stale, never fails
The Real Lyrics:
Peached up, peached ale, never fails.
The Story: Peach top, peach tails - he sings it different depending on what he's wearing on the night of the show. The top is the shirt, the tails are the pants - Submitted by: Tim
Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I want to f*** you
The Real Lyrics:
I want to THANK you.
The Story: In my defense, he's got and British accent, and was singing through a talk box...I thought that since it was through a talkbox and with a guitar, that's how he got away with singing what I THOUGHT he was singing... In the live version the crowd goes wild when he does that line, so that added to me perceiving it the way I did. - Submitted by: JSB
Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Peached up, peached ale, never fails.
The Real Lyrics:
Peach top, peach tails, never fails
The Story: I've known the correct lyric since it came out in the 70's & there was no dispute then. His "top" is his shirt and his "tails" are his pants - he's wearing peach-colored shirt & pants on the live album cover. If you go to YouTube & check out his live shows, he'll change the lyric depending on what he's wearing. In one gig from 1975, he says "blue top, silver tails" as he's wearing a blue shirt & silver pants. - Submitted by: Marv
Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Pump my hands on the keyboards, pump my hands
The Real Lyrics:
Bob Mayo on the keyboards, Bob Mayo
The Story: I have never seen Frampton live before his live album came out and thought he might be playing the keyboards - Submitted by: Curtis R
Peter Frampton's, "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Whose wine? White wine?
The Real Lyrics:
Whose wine? What wine?
The Story: I had the lyric as "what wine" in my YouTube comment, but I was "corrected" by someone a few days later. Damn millennials! - Submitted by: Buck
Peter Frampton's, "I Can't Stand It No More"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I can stand it no more.
The Real Lyrics:
I can't stand it no more.
The Story: I was too young to believe that pop stars could actually use improper grammar in songs. - Submitted by: Cathy
Peter Frampton's, "Show Me The Way"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And no one to relate to 'cept the sheep
The Real Lyrics:
And no one to relate to 'cept the sea
The Story: The studio that Frampton recorded this album in, was in a castle out in the English countryside. I told my wife about that before I played her the song, and so her misinterpretation was completely understandable...but utterly wrong. - Submitted by: Dan Amrich

And someone calls a cop, and I submerge.

When someone drops a cup, and I submerge.
The Story: - Submitted by: Frank

The Misheard Lyrics:
Come on Jew, show me the way!
The Real Lyrics:
