Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Eddie Money

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!).

Eddie Money's, "Take Me Home Tonight"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Just like what it says
Feed my little baby
The Real Lyrics:
Just like Ronnie said
Be my little baby
The Story: I always thought that this was what the lyric was, and I was driving around with my wife the other day, and I said listen to this song, the lyrics don't make any sense. 'Why is he trying to get with her and then have out of the blue have her say 'feed my little baby.' My wife laughed for the next fifteen minutes. I just thought it was another case of 80s style over substance; I guess in my own way I was right. - Submitted by: Jim Macdonald

Eddie Money's, "Take Me Home Tonight"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Listen honey
Just like the Rani said
"Be my little baby"
The Real Lyrics:
Listne honey
Just like Ronnie sang
"Be my little baby"
The Story: I was in the car, it was kinda noisy, and I was listening to this song. I'm a big fan of the TV show "Doctor Who" and one of my favorite characters if a villianess called The Rani. When I heard that line of the song, I could've sworn that they'd mentioned the Rani in a song. However, when I got home, I looked up the lyrics, and they really said Ronnie, as in the leader of the Ronnettes. Then again, it's kind of an easy mistake to make. "Rani" and "Ronnie" sound a lot alike - Submitted by: T Y
