Christina Aguilera

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!).

Christina Aguilera's, "Can't Hold Us Down"

The Misheard Lyrics:

No-ah-ee-ee!
or
Oh-ah-no-ah-ow!

The Real Lyrics:

Nobody can hold us down.

The Story: I thought Christina was attempting to beat box during this part, since the song is attempting to be 'hip-hop' anyway. So when the video was on MTV, I expressed my thoughts to my sister by saying 'she can't even b****y beat box!' It was only after my sister exploded with laughter and choked the real lyrics out that my fears were relieved. I wouldn't be surprised if she did attempt beat boxing at some subsequent point nonetheless. - Submitted by: Devil Jones

Christina Aguilera's, "Dirrty"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Me and my girls gonna shake our boobs.

The Real Lyrics:

Me and my girls gonna shake the room.

The Story: My sister and I both misheard this when it premiered on radio and just looked at each other in surprise because it hadn't been censored. When we saw the [highly grotesque] video subsequently, we realised what she was saying, though having seen it what we heard originally wouldn't have made *that* much of a difference, admittedly. - Submitted by: Devil Jones

Christina Aguilera's, "Dirrty"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Too dirty to clean my a** with.

The Real Lyrics:

Too dirty to clean my act up.

The Story: I heard this while in my friend's car. I asked why Redman was talking about wiping his buttocks with dirty toilet paper for no reason in the song. She had to pull up on the side of the road and was there for a good ten minutes laughing to tears into the steering wheel. - Submitted by: Loveless

Christina Aguilera's, "Fighter"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Thanks for making me a fire.

The Real Lyrics:

Thanks for making me a fighter.

The Story: It's good to see Christina get in touch with her Brownie/Girl Guide days with some traditional camping regimes. That's the trouble when someone pronounces a word without enunciating any of the consonants or indeed vowels, therefore making words like 'fighter' sound like 'fi-yerrrr' instead. - Submitted by: Devil Jones

Christina Aguilera's, "Fighter"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Thanks for making me a spider.

The Real Lyrics:

Thanks for making me a fighter.

The Story: Actually, it was my mom who misheard these lyrics. This song came up on tv one day and my mom was asking me: 'What's she sayin'? Thanks for making me a spider?' And that kinda stuck. - Submitted by: sk8er girl

Christina Aguilera's, "Genie In A Bottle"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Come, come, come on in. Meow!

The Real Lyrics:

Come, come, come on in, and let me out.

The Story: I was doing a solo in front of the whole school ( 5 grades) and I was singing this song. When I sang, 'Meow!' instead of 'and let me out', everyone cracked up laughing at me. I was soooo humiliated! To this day, my friends still say 'Meow!' whenever I pass them in the halls. - Submitted by: Keri

Christina Aguilera's, "Genie in a Bottle"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Come come come on in. Meow.

The Real Lyrics:

Come come come and let me out.

The Story: I sang it with the meow in it forever. I was singing it really loud at a party once, and everyone burst out laughing. Now we all sing it my way. - Submitted by: Alison

Christina Aguilera's, "Genie in a Bottle"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Come, come, come on and meow.

The Real Lyrics:

Come, come, come on and let me out.

The Story: My mom and I were cruisin' one night and this song came on the radio. I started singing along. I sang the right lyrics & my mom replied, 'That's not how it goes'. We got into an argument, then I asked her what she thought the lyrics were. We both just died laughing when I pulled out my C.A. cd and proved that I was right! - Submitted by: K-Lee C.

Christina Aguilera's, "Genie in a Bottle"

The Real Lyrics:

Im a genie in a bottle

The Story: Boggle is a word game - Submitted by: Fred Smith

Christina Aguilera's, "Hurt"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Sorry, fool
Blamin' you.

The Real Lyrics:

I'm sorry for
Blamin' you.

The Story: I hear it a lot on the school bus, and I thought it didn't really make sense. I mean, why would she call him a fool if she was sincerely sorry? I totally confuse myself sometimes. - Submitted by: Mr. Sally

Christina Aguilera's, "What a Girl Wants"

The Misheard Lyrics:

What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
whatever makes me happy and sets you free
and I'm thanking you for givin' us Santa...

The Real Lyrics:

What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
whatever makes me happy and sets you free,
and I'm thanking you for knowing exactly...

The Story: My 3-year old loves Christina Aguilera's songs, and she first started singing this song, she said...'and I'm fankin' you for givin' us Santa'... It was so cute and funny I thought I would die laughing! - Submitted by: C. Hulon
