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!).

I told her what the song said and she cracked up laughing. She told me the correct lyrics and then I started laughing. Thank goodness, I found out what it really said. - Submitted by: Ashlee

Don't get muck on your face.
Don't give up on your faith.
The Story: Actually, my little brother came up with this when we went out for pizza one night. He was 11 at the time, and decided to sing along. The second he said 'Don't get muck on your face', I about died. He cracked me up!!! *Sigh* What a funny l'il dude! - Submitted by: Melissa
