Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Scorpions

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!).

Scorpions', "Humanity"
The Misheard Lyrics:
At the end of the day
You're in eager and in pain
The Real Lyrics:
At the end of the day
You're a needle in the hay
The Story: My brother and I always take a shower with music on, and we turn up the volume immensely. So we were standing in the bathroom almost screaming the song along, with the wrong lyrics. Until one day I looked it up and found that we had been wrong all this time. My brother still sings it our way and I have to correct him over and over again. - Submitted by: Timi Zhuo
Scorpions', "Love At First Sting"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Love in Brazil
The Real Lyrics:
Love at first sting
The Story: A friend of mine, a native English speaker (I'm not) swore that the singer was saying 'Love in Brazil', instead of 'Love at first sting', until I made him realise he was wrong. He hates being wrong, whatever the field, and to this day, I still remind him that 'mishearing' every now and then and when I do, he feels he needs to cover my voice by screaming 'Love in Braziiiiiiiiiil'. That way, he still feels he's right! - Submitted by: Pierre Nicolay

Scorpions', "Rock You Like a Hurricane"
The Misheard Lyrics:
The night is calling, I have to mow!
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show!
He’s licking his lips, he’s ready to win!
On the hunt tonight for love in Brazil
The Real Lyrics:
The night is calling, I have to go!
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show!
He’s licking his lips, he’s ready to win!
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting!
The Story: This was my Maternal Uncle David Jackson who misheard the lyrics. As we were driving from Milwaukee to St. Louis for our Labor Day Weekend, this song came on and he says “I never knew that he would say that he has to mow his lawn before he goes to bed and talks about a wolf running a show and hunting love in Brazil”. We laughed so hard that we almost ran off the road and almost peed our pants! We went to a rest area outside of Springfield and we were laughing while going potty. And when we got out, 4 Vietnam War Veterans asked us what was so funny and we told them and they had a really good laugh! - Submitted by: Frank Plowman

The Real Lyrics:
