Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Bangles

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!).

Bangles', "Manic Monday"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Just another Mayonnaise Monday
The Real Lyrics:
Just another Manic Monday
The Story: My mother is actually the one who misunderheard the lyrics. We were driving somewhere when the song came on the radio and she blurted out 'Why are they singing about mayonnaise? Who sings about mayonnaise? Are they trying to be funny?' She felt pretty silly after I told her that is was manic not mayonnaise. - Submitted by: Ruth Moore
