Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Cast of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

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!).

Cast of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory's, "Oompa Loompa - Augustus Gloop"
The Misheard Lyrics:
If you're not greetings, you will go fart
The Real Lyrics:
If you're not greedy, you will go far
The Story: Also used in "Wonkamobile, Wonkavision/Oompa Loompa" for Mike Teevee. - Submitted by: Cody Finke
Cast of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory's, "Oompa Loompa - Augustus Gloop"
The Misheard Lyrics:
What do you get when you guzzle down tweets?
The Real Lyrics:
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?
The Story: As in the term used for Twitter, "Tweeting". - Submitted by: Cody Finke
Cast of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory's, "Pure Imagination"
The Misheard Lyrics:
If you want a new pair of dice
The Real Lyrics:
If you want to view paradise
The Story: Once again, why we hear "pair of dice" instead of "paradise" whenever we listen to songs. - Submitted by: Cody Finke
Cast of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory's, "The Candy Man"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Satisfying and religious
The Real Lyrics:
Satisfying and delicious
The Story: How in the world could satisfying and religious really be? First of all, "satisfying" and "delicious" are synonyms, and "religious" has nothing to do with either one. Why would they even come up with religion and taste? It makes no sense! - Submitted by: Cody Finke
