Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

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!).

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's, "10th Ave Freeze Out"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Big devil in a freezer
The Real Lyrics:
10th Avenue freeze-out
The Story: I asked my husband, who is a fan of Bruce Springsteen, if my hummed version of the song sounded familiar. I was pretty sure it was Bruce's voice which gave him a good hint. He immediately reached towards his CD collection and took out out the CD. He had a good laugh! The song is played on the 'muzak' where I work. I'll be taking a good listen next time it comes on. - Submitted by: Teresa Frechette
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's, "10th Ave Freeze Out"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Tempt the Devil with a freezer
The Real Lyrics:
10th Avenue freeze-out
The Story: I sang it this way for years! My younger sister heard me one day and laughed so hard she was crying. She still, to this day (20+ years later) teases me about this. - Submitted by: TSRVT
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's, "10th Avenue Freeze Out"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Red Devil in the freezer
The Real Lyrics:
10th Avenue freeze-out
The Story: My mom was convinced that Springsteen was singing about the red devil in the freezer. We thought maybe she was thinking of Devil in a Blue Dress but nope, 10th Avenue Freeze Out. She still doesn't believe us that that is what it is called. - Submitted by: Lola
