Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Bryan Adams

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!).

Bryan Adams', "Hold On To The Night"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Hold on to the night
Hold on to the mammaries.
The Real Lyrics:
Hold on to the night
Hold on to the memories.
The Story: We all knew what the lyrics really were but this guy I went to high school with always insisted on singing it 'his way'. High school guys and boobs (mammory glands), go figure. - Submitted by: Tootbloom
Bryan Adams', "Let's Make A Night To Remember"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Our shadows on the wall and our pants everywhere.
The Real Lyrics:
Our shadows on the wall and our hands everywhere.
The Story: Pants in England mean underwear not trousers. - Submitted by: Teresa Hughes
Bryan Adams', "Run To You"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I'm gonna runter you
I'm gonna runter you
And when the feeling's right
I'm gonna stay all night
I'm gonna runter you.
The Real Lyrics:
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
And when the feeling's right
I'm gonna stay all night
I'm gonna run to you.
The Story: This came out when I was about 8 years old. And, not knowing what 'runter' could mean, I took a stab in the dark and assumed it to be a grown-up term for having sex. Thank goodness I worked out the real lyrics before I started having relationships. It could have been extremely embarrassing! - Submitted by: V Sandison
Bryan Adams', "Straight From The Heart"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I'm coming straight Yamaha.
The Real Lyrics:
Comin' straight from the heart.
The Story: I was 7 and thought the song was about motorcycles. - Submitted by: Yorgie
Bryan Adams', "Summer Of 69"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I got my first real sex dream.
The Real Lyrics:
I got my first real six-string.
The Story: My sister used to sing the misheard lyrics out loud, until one day, in the German 'Comeback Show' she listened to this song performed by Smokie's former singer and raged about him, 'Hey, look at that dork! He's singing it all wrong! F*** this damn censorship!'. - Submitted by: Archae
Bryan Adams', "Summer of '69"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Got my first real sex dream
Oh, at the five and dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69
The Real Lyrics:
Got my first real six string
The Story: I was belting my version of the 1st verse in a car with friends on the way to the beach in '89. I was 16. Everyone started cracking up. I think it works my way too! I had this entire scenario concocted in my head - Submitted by: Beka Economopoulos
