Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Dan England And John Ford Coley

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!).

Dan England And John Ford Coley's, "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your mind
But there's a whirlwind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight.
The Real Lyrics:
I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I'd really love to see you tonight.
The Story: When my father heard this song, he responded, "What the h*** is 'I'm not talkin' about millenium'??" But that line is of the lyrics of this song I actually understood correctly. - Submitted by: Jimmy Williams
