Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Donna Summer

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!).

The Misheard Lyrics:
I'm lookin' for some pasta baby tonight
I need some pasta baby this evenin'
The Real Lyrics:
Lookin' for some hot stuff baby tonight
I need some hot stuff baby this evenin'
The Story: We were driving up to North Carolina to go whitewater rafting when one of the guys put on a cd with a bunch of disco songs. This song came on, and I asked, 'The hell? Is she saying she wants 'pasta'?' They laughed for the next fifteen minutes or so. I didn't. I swear, she's saying 'pasta' in that song. - Submitted by: Michael Taylor

Wanna share my love with a warm-blooded lover
Wanna bring a wild man back home.
The Story: I thought it was weird that she wanted both a woman lover and a white man. Possibly a Michael Jackson reference? - Submitted by: Lizzeh
