Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Edison Lighthouse

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!).

Edison Lighthouse's, "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes"
The Misheard Lyrics:
There's something about that hair on her spine
I've a feelng it's mine.
The Real Lyrics:
There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine.
The Story: I sang it in the car with my boyfriend. He almost wrecked because he was laughing so hard, but he didn't have it right either. We had to go to a music store to get the lyrics.
