Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Boys II Men

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!).

Boys II Men's, "On Bended Knee"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Stomp on your fingers, the blame is on me
The Real Lyrics:
Stop pointing fingers, the blame is on me
The Story: Heard by J.K. Dearing at Lite Mix 105 in Chattanooga. I was sitting on the living room one day listening to the radio (because I forgot to pay my cable bill) and this song came on the radio. After the conclusion of the record the announcer ask if this was really what they said. He played that part of the song back three or four times, before someone called him on the request line, and corrected him on the air. ( I think he is in Wisconsin now) - Submitted by: Dan Fletcher
