Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Britney Spears
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!).

Britney Spears', "Baby One More Time"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Fill me baby with your slime
The Real Lyrics:
Hit me baby, one more time
The Story: I was listening to it for the 1st time with some of my friends, and when it said 'hit me baby one more time' we thought it was different words, and we started laughing histarically! We were on a bus, and the bus driver was like swerving because we did it so suddenly and so loudly. - Submitted by: Emily

The Misheard Lyrics:
Show me how you wanna do me.
The Real Lyrics:
Show me how you want it to be.
The Story: For so long, I was wondering why everyone thought Britney was so innocent! Even in the video it looks like she's saying 'do me.' Only when I was singing the wrong lyrics did one of my friends look at me really funny and correct me. - Submitted by: Maya
Britney Spears', "Boys"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I just wanna have sex with you.
The Real Lyrics:
I just wanna dance next to you.
The Story: Everyone was going about saying about how Britney was great for saving herself for marriage and all. Then I heard this song and told everyone to listen. So they all promptly went off Britney Spears, thinking she was like everyone else. A few weeks later, I realized what the lyrics really were. I didn't wna look dumb, so I just let them hate her...oops! - Submitted by: Sara

The Story: It's really funny cause I just got Britney's new cd 'Britney' and my friend was saying how slutty she was. I was completely defending her and telling her that she didn't even say anything sexual...then we both heard that and my friend was like see! And I was so mad...lol. - Submitted by: Kristan

Don't hold back, just let it go.
Don't hold back, just let it go.
The Story: I did know the original lyrics. But every time I listened to it, I just couldn't force myself to hear anything else than these words. :) You know misheard words just stuck in your head. The words are connected with video as Britney sang it to an astronaut, so it somehow glued together. - Submitted by: Oto

The Story: I was singing along to this song in the car. I had never really listened to it before, so I didn't know the lyrics very well.

I got out, wrapped a towel around me, and went to my room to get some clothes... just as it got to that part. I bumped into my dad, and he was like "Are you sure that's what she's singing?" (he likes the same music I do) and I was like "Um, yeah!" Well, later that day, I looked up the lyrics, and I turned beet red when I saw that I was totally wrong. To this day, I still sing "disappoint" instead of "dance upon" lol - Submitted by: flipside

The Misheard Lyrics:
I'm not that anaesthetic.
The Real Lyrics:
I'm not that innocent.
The Story: I was in 4th grade and thought it said 'I'm not that anesth', not hearing the 'innocent' clearly. So I just went through my vocabulary at the time and, having recently had a broken arm, decided she was singing 'anaesthetic'. That was before I knew what sex was, thanks to a Catholic-school education. I thought it was that way until I saw sheet music two years later. - Submitted by: Z-Unit

Like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me.
The Story: I was singing this song to my friend Jess and I was kinda laughing. I told her,ow could you believe Britney is that innocent when she's singing those lyrics. When i told her what I thought the song said she almost kicked me out of her house: she's a Britney fan and couldn't believe I was saying those things about her! - Submitted by: Amy Laura Flaherty
Britney Spears', "Stronger"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You might think that I will make it on my own
or
You might that I walk naked on my own
The Real Lyrics:
You might think that I won't make it on my own
The Story: When I first heard the song, I thought she was saying 'You might think that I walk naked on my own'. I pictured Britney walking around, nude. I shook it off as a misunderstanding and looked in a lyrics site, that said 'You might think that I will make it on my own'. I noticed it didn't make sense, because it followed with 'But now I'm stronger than yesterday'. However, it was on a lyric site. It had to be right... I recently bought the cd. It has lyrics to 'Stronger'. I found that the lyrics on the site were wrong. I never told anyone what I thought the lyrics were at first, but I used to sing it the other way all the time. - Submitted by: Chris Smith
Britney Spears', "The Hook Up"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Tonight, I'm in the moon
Please take me by your hand.

Britney Spears', "Toxic"
The Misheard Lyrics:
The taste of your p***, I'm lovin that
Your toxic bum is slipping through that.

or
You're toxic, I'm slipping on a ride!
The Real Lyrics:
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under.
You're toxic, I'm slipping under.
The Story: My friend and I were singing 'Toxic' at a karaoke bar. When that part of the song came, my friend forgot the words, so she stopped. I began and started singing 'The taste of your p***, I'm lovin that, your toxic bum is slippin through that!'. Everyone was looking at me like I was some idiot, and when I went back to University, everyone would laugh at me! - Submitted by: Sexy1
Britney Spears', "Toxic"
The Misheard Lyrics:
With the taste of your lips, I wanna ride.
Your toxic hand slipping on my thigh.
Your toxic hand slipping on my thigh.
The Real Lyrics:
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride.
You're toxic, I'm slipping under.
You're toxic, I'm slipping under.
The Story: The bit where she says 'slipping under' is kind of a transition to the next line, which is why I may have thought the line was longer than it actually is. I thought that the words I wrote in the misquoted bit were the actual words; I mean, it makes sense kind of! Only found out today reading through a lyrics site. - Submitted by: Vin Barbarino

When I party with me friends
I can feel your eyes on my back, baby
I can't have no chains around me, baby can't you see?
I could be anything you dream of, but I gotta feel free.
The Story: I was at my friend Kaylee house and her little sister was playing this album and this song came on. Now I'm not in any way a fan of Britney, so I had never heard most of these songs. I don't know why but for some reason I could have sworn she was talking about her underwear, so of course I had to shout 'Why the h*** is she talking about her underwear?!' Needless to say, Kaylee's sister was very amused(especially after she showed me the correct lyrics). - Submitted by: Sari
