Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Echo And The Bunnymen

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!).

Echo And The Bunnymen's, "The Killing Moon"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Fate of the gangster whale.
The Real Lyrics:
Fate, up against your will.
The Story: For years my friend J insisted his misheard lyrics were correct. At long last I checked the Net and have been proved right and no whales are mentioned (either law-abiding or gangster) in this song! - Submitted by: ChuckyV
Echo And The Bunnymen's, "Villiers Terrace"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I've been up to Minas Tirith
The Real Lyrics:
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
The Story: Minas Tirith is the capital of Gondor and features in Lots Of The Rings - The Return Of The King. I assumed the song was some kind of prog rock, fantasy epic when I was younger. - Submitted by: chorlton
