Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Avalanches

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!).

Avalanches', "Frontier Psychiatrist"
The Misheard Lyrics:
That boy needs better days!
The Real Lyrics:
That boy needs therapy!
The Story: Well when we heard this song for the first time with my brother, we could hardly cope with its lyrics as it's rather fast, but I really don't know how could we hear 'better days' instead of 'therapy'; especially that this word is mentioned about a dozen times in the song!:)) We even made up theories about what 'better days' could mean in this case, so it was rather funny. - Submitted by: Sikamikanico
Avalanches', "Radio"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Sunning themselves
Sunning themselves
Sunning themselves
Mister Noodles.
The Real Lyrics:
Sending those signals
Sending those signals
Sending those signals
Those digital signals.
The Story: I thought it was a Michael Jackson parody, and he was talking to his chimpanzee or something!!! - Submitted by: Luke
Avalanches', "Radio"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Sunning themselves
Sunning themselves
Sunning themselves
Those two noodles.
The Real Lyrics:
Sending those signals
Sending those signals
Sending those signals
Those digital signals.
The Story: When me and my friend both heard this song for the first time, we listened to it over and over again trying to figure out what they were saying. We finally concluded that it was a song about sunbathing noodles. We looked up the lyrics later and found out that they're pretty strange even without being misheard. Avalanches rock! - Submitted by: Jennifer
