Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Damien Rice

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!).

Damien Rice's, "I Remember"
The Misheard Lyrics:
But I, I whip myself with scones, scones
I want h***, but you have to sit above me.
The Real Lyrics:
But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn
I wanna hear what you have to say about me.
The Story: I didn't understand this song when I heard it anyway. But when it reached that section, I just thought to myself 'How did it jump onto an S&M topic?' No prizes for guessing, I was laughed at with what I thought I heard. Still, whatever Damien and the female vocalist [can't remember her name] were doing, they surely were specific. - Submitted by: Devil Jones
