Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Index
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.
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!).

My Chemical Romance's, "Welcome To The Black Parade"
The Misheard Lyrics: And though you're synagogue believers
The Real Lyrics: And though you're cynical, believe me.
The Story: Really this is just a comment instead of a story, but I have to be one of the closest in misheard lyrics to the real lyrics. At least Synagogue sounds SOMETHING like cynical. I must say, I have never heard it as dead and gone or singing God or whatever. I've always heard it as synagogue. But yes. I used synagogue as an adjective xD. As a matter of fact, I am listening to it now and STILL hear it as synagogue instead of cynical but I heard believe me not believers. - Submitted by: Yumei
