Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Area 51

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!).

Area 51's, "Let It Move You"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Reddit mafia

The Real Lyrics:

Let it move you

The Story: I was on a YouTube binge of classic club/rave music when this came on (great song, btw) and the vocal effects plus the accent sounded like “Reddit mafia.” It was kind of easy and funny to imagine since Reddit has a bit of a reputation. - Submitted by: Rover the Raver
