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!).

When I call you at home
And he answers the phone
Or I get Shaun the sheep
And you don't hear me
When I call you at home
And he answers the phone
Or I get your machine
And you don't hear me

You'll find it in the deepest friendships
They call you Jewish all your life
You'll find it in the deepest friendships
The kind you cherish all your life
The Story: I'm from Israel, so when I first heard this song in 1999 (I was 12) I was shocked! I was feeling sorry for the singer that they accused him of such horrible thing :-) - Submitted by: Guy
And dole my love.
And, oh, my love.
And dope my dreams will rake me hair.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
And hope my teams will take me there.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
And, doh, my love
And, oh, my love
I hate this street
I hate this house.
An empty street
An empty house.
I try to wee.
I try to read.
I try to wee
And go to where
I'm laughing at my friends.
I try to read
I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends.
I wonder how
I wanna cry.
I wonder how
I wonder why.
Reaching for a dove that seems to fart.
Reaching for a love that seems so far.
Reaching for a dove that sings to fart.
Reaching for a love that seems so far.
See a little pear.
Say a little prayer.
To hole you in my arms
To promise you my dove
To tell you from the car
You're all I'm blinking of.
To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from the heart
You're all I'm thinking of.
Where the fjords are green
Where the fields are green
Where the scribes are blue
Where the skies are blue
Where the scythes are blue
Where the skies are blue
This love song is singing
Until the day you're holding me.
This love song, I'll sing it
Until the day you're holding me.
My low for the things we tried.
One love for the mother's child.
The Story: Well one day, I was doing "Singstar" with my cousin when he stopped singing and just stared at me. It was awful. - Submitted by: Lulu

I'll bake it all up for you.
I'll make it all up to you.
I'm so gay.
I still pray.
If you forgive me
I'm gonna do it to Kate.
If you forgive me
I'm gonna do what it takes.
Leave me alone.
Don't you leave you alone.
Now I know where
To hurt you at home.
Now I know it
To hurt you was wrong.
Somebody leaves you tonight.
Somebody needs you tonight.
Somebody needs you to knife.
Somebody needs you tonight.
Somebody needs your tuna.
Somebody needs you tonight.
Somebody wants your tuc.
Somebody wants your touch.
Sometimes I bake my skates.
Sometimes I make mistakes.
We should be talking to poo.
We should be talking it through.
Only the stories, most of wet Julies
Only the stories, most of which are lies
The Story: I always wondered why people would hear stories about wet Julies, as opposed to any other month (especially as July, being a summer month, wouldn't be the most obvious "wet" month). - Submitted by: John Smith
