Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Aaliyah

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!).

Aaliyah's, "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Age ain't nothin' but a number
But a noun ain't nothing but a thang.
The Real Lyrics:
Age ain't nothin' but a number
Throwing down ain't nothing but a thang.
The Story: My best friend actually thought these were the lyrics up until recently. It made so much sense though, because a noun is really a thing. An adolescent could really think these lyrics were correct. Darn grammar classes. - Submitted by: Keisha
Aaliyah's, "More Than A Woman"
The Misheard Lyrics:
More than a llama
More than a llama.
The Real Lyrics:
More then a lover
More than a woman.
The Story: I was at my friends house and we were listening to this song, I asked, 'Why is she singing about a llama?' Then she told me what she was saying. It's an inside joke now. - Submitted by: Lindz
