Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Sheryl Crow
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!).

Sheryl Crow's, "All I Wanna Do"
The Misheard Lyrics:
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up and I say I'm gonna gobble a farm!
Until the sun comes up and I say I'm gonna gobble a farm!
The Real Lyrics:
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
The Story: I always claimed to be a massive fan, even seeing her in concert aged 10 in '98 and it wasn't till I was 22 and was singing it in the car the my mum asked.. 'what exactly DO you think those lyrics are?' and then I found the lyrics on line and have never felt such a fool! - Submitted by: Jem
Sheryl Crow's, "All I Wanna Do"
The Misheard Lyrics:
All I wanna do is hooked on phonix
The Real Lyrics:
All I wanna do is have some fun
The Story: I found out I have some (actually a good deal) of my hearing. You have to laugh at life before you die! - Submitted by: Retro
Sheryl Crow's, "All I Wanna Do"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And he's playin' up with-a me.
The Real Lyrics:
And he's plain ugly to me.
The Story: I imagined that Billy was pulling a 'Hey, baby' pickup routine on Sheryl. But my misheard line didn't fit with the rest of the song, with Billy apparently suffering from depression. - Submitted by: John
Sheryl Crow's, "All I Wanna Do"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And the sun comes up over a cinematic couple of hearts.
The Real Lyrics:
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica boulevard
The Story: Have always thought it was this and was singing with my boyfriend and was surprised when he sang the real lyrics đŸ˜‚ - Submitted by: Elizabeth Butler
Sheryl Crow's, "All I Wanna Do"
The Misheard Lyrics:
He says his name's Whim but I'm sure,
He's Bill or Billy or Macrobuddy
And he's playin' up with me
He's Bill or Billy or Macrobuddy
And he's playin' up with me
The Real Lyrics:
He says his name's William but I'm sure,
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
The Story: Was 10 years old then, and just learned "macro" means big (just as micro means small), and Americans are known to be big right, and they like to call friends "hey buddy..." so 'Macrobuddy' made sense to me at the time. Just means a 'big friend'. And "playin' up with me" means he's trying to chat her up, simple. Seemed legit? - Submitted by: Kenny
Sheryl Crow's, "All I Wanna Do"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up on a Senna Monna cup-holder-life.
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up on a Senna Monna cup-holder-life.
The Real Lyrics:
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard.
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard.
The Story: Since I was a little girl watching 'Rage' and TV hits, I thought that was the line. Later at the university doing a literary criticism course, I was telling a friend how fascinating that line was and how it was an interesting comment on our convenience-minded society. She kinda kicked my butt over that one and made me look it up. It's hard to sing it the right way even now. Don't ask about the Senna Monna part. I thought it was the name of something I didn't know about. - Submitted by: Kaldeko

The Misheard Lyrics:
Till the sun comes up
On the sentimental look at the farm.
On the sentimental look at the farm.

On the Santa Monica Boulevard.

Sheryl Crow's, "All I Wanna Do"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Under the sunken one and we're sippin' on a couple of beers.
The Real Lyrics:
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard.
The Story: I liked this song when I was younger. I tried to ask my mother who sung it and what was it called. I was too embarrassed to sing it, so I wrote it down on a scrap of paper and handed it to her sheepishly. She started cracking up, then told me it was Sheryl Crow :<) - Submitted by: Rhiannon

The Misheard Lyrics:
Until the sun comes up and sits upon a couple of farts.
The Real Lyrics:
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard.
The Story: My little sister and I used to sing it at the top of our lungs. One day our mother came in and she started laughing hysterically, and corrected it. We forgot one day when she was having business partners over, and it came on the radio and we sang the wrong lyrics. The business ladies gave us dirty looks. We still laugh about it to this day!! - Submitted by: Nicole

He's got a daughter he calls Easter
The Story: Funny way they used a religious holiday as a nickname for a daughter! - Submitted by: Cody Finke
Sheryl Crow's, "Every Day is a Winding Road"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Chekov, Jimmy, everybody wants more
The Real Lyrics:
Jack off Jimmy, everybody wants more
The Story: When I was a kid this song came out and at the time, I was absolutely obsessed with Star Trek, it being the 30th anniversary, I heard this song and I thought, oh my God.. she's singing about Star Trek, Chekov being an Ensign from the bridge and of course 'Jimmy' referring to James T. Kirk, Captain Kirk. And everybody wants more, I figured she was referring to Trekkies and how Trek fandom goes on and on and how many trek fans there are. Am I an idiot, but it was really cool back then! - Submitted by: Cel-chan
Sheryl Crow's, "If It Makes You Happy"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And Benny Goodman's Corsican
The Real Lyrics:
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
The Story: This song just came on my PC and I realized that the lyrics that I had "heard" since the early 90s made absolutely no sense. I think I was okay with that in my 20s because the next line is "well, okay, I made this up." But I see now that what they were really making up was all of the thrift store shopping finds. I won't forget the correct lyrics, but I bet I have to fight myself to sing them correctly. Stupid brain - Submitted by: Cary
Sheryl Crow's, "If It Makes You Happy"

The Misheard Lyrics:
I've got no one to blame Everytime I feel lay my burden down
The Real Lyrics:
I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up
The Story: A friend posted a link to the YouTube video of this song. I never knew the title of the song before, but I had loved it when it came out years ago. Looked up the lyrics and it was a bit different than I had understood. Great song! - Submitted by: Robert Bernstein

Sheryl Crow's, "Strong Enough"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Are you strong enough to be my aunt?
The Real Lyrics:
Are you strong enough to be my man?
The Story: I was thinking how it would be since Sheryl Crow is a female, so how it would be to talk about men turned into an aunt? - Submitted by: Cody Finke
