Misheard Lyrics Stories -> Latest Entries

"Dayum Baby," Florida Georgia Line
Misheard Lyrics:
you got me like down baby, down baby, down
Original Lyrics:
you got me like dayum baby, dayum baby, dayum
Story about this misheard lyric by: William Ransom: This was in a coworker's iPod. I misheard every instance of "dayum" as "down", and I thought the song was called "Down Baby Down Baby Down", which seemed to fit with its coming after a song I thought was called "Dollars to Donuts", which turned out to actually be "Daughters of Darkness" by Halestorm.
"Work Hard, Play Harder," Gretchen Wilson
Misheard Lyrics:
Double gone, double guarder

Double gone, double gone, double gone
Double guarder
Original Lyrics:
I work hard, I play harder

I work hard, I work hard, I work hard
I play harder
Story about this misheard lyric by: William Ransom: I knew the correct lyrics to "Work Hard, Play Harder", but once when the song played in a noisy TJ Maxx distribution center where I was working at the time, I didn't recognize it at first and thought I was hearing "double gone, double guarder".
"Daughters of Darkness," Halestorm
Misheard Lyrics:
Dollars to donuts, sister success
Original Lyrics:
Daughters of darkness, sisters insane
Story about this misheard lyric by: William Ransom: This was in a coworker's iPod. I thought the song was called "Dollars to Donuts", which seemed to fit with the next song being "Down Baby Down Baby Down". However, it turned out I misheard both, and the next song was actually "Dayum Baby" by Florida Georgia Line.
"North to Alaska," Johnny Horton
Misheard Lyrics:
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man
In the year of '91
Original Lyrics:
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man
In the year of 1901
Story about this misheard lyric by: William Ransom: "1901" here is just pronounced as "nineteen one". One day in 1990 when I had been outside, I came in and found my mother listening to her Johnny Horton 8-track tape, which has this song on it. I thought I heard "in the year of '91", so I asked her, "Why does the song mention next year?" The next time this song played, she told me it was "nineteen one", meaning 1901 but he left out the 0.
"I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)," The Proclaimers
Misheard Lyrics:
Larry Emdur (Larry Emdur), Larry Emdur (Larry Emdur)
Original Lyrics:
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Story about this misheard lyric by: Danny S: I thought they were singing about the game show host "Larry Emdur" in Australia.
"What Am I Gonna Do," Rod Stewart
Misheard Lyrics:
That you mind
Original Lyrics:
That you're mine
Story about this misheard lyric by: Cody Finke: Once again, why we mishear “mine” as “mind” and vice versa.
"Coalmine," Sara Evans
Misheard Lyrics:
She don't make enough calamine
Original Lyrics:
He goes back to that coalmine
Story about this misheard lyric by: William Ransom: I heard this while waking from a dream about a cow that couldn't get up. Before I was fully awake, I was thinking calamine was a substance in cows that they needed in order to stand up and that the singing I heard was an explanation of what was wrong with the cow.
