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!).

I'm blue, da ba dee, da ba di.
The Story: My friends and I went through a phase where we would listen (and dance) to this song repeatedly. Each time, we seemed to get the lyrics different when we sang along. Finally, we went and looked it up - and it seemed that none of us were correct. And here all along we'd thought it was describing some guy...(It happened that with the statement 'I'm Blue', we all assumed it was referring to a uniform of some sort..dress blues...?) - Submitted by: SGK
I'm blue, I'm in need of a guy.
I'm blue, da ba dee, da ba di.
The Story: Me and my friend was listening to the radio when this song started. I asked her if the 'I'm blue. I'm in need of a guy' was really the correct lyrics because Eiffel 65 are all guys. She laughed at me and told me the right lyrics and said that it was probably a Freudian slip on my behalf. Maybe she's right! I still think it sounds like 'I'm blue. I'm in need of a guy', though. Maybe that means I need to get a boyfriend???! - Submitted by: Solitaire

I'm blue, I will eat apple pie.
I'm blue, da be dee da ba di.
The Story: I combined this with another misheard lyric ('I'm blue, I belive I will die if I eat apple pie') to make this dumb story where a guy thinks he will die if he eats apple pie, yet does anyway. I'm hoping to make a parody based on it soon. See you there! Unless, I don't make it. [Ed.'s note: Don't quit your day job yet.] - Submitted by: Zazs

I'm blue, da ba dee, da ba di.
The Story: I'm a school bus driver and just so happen to listen to a lot of popular music and knew this song. It's very hard to drive a bus while laughing so hard there's tears in one's eyes. I did let the boy know the real lyrics and he begged me, "Miss H, don't rat me out." I didnt rat him out, but did place the missheard lyrics and the correct ones on the bus for all to see. It wound up turning in to a real game with all the kids now. Debating a kid's music is like stealing a hungry dog's bone. - Submitted by: H

I have a blue house with a blue window,
Blue is the color of all that I wear.
The Story: This was what I heard my friend singing when she had head phones on. She was so convinced that this was what it was that, she even said that it was cut off part way as a parental thing. I tried telling her it was not that and it was 'Of all that I wear'. So I came online and showed her that it was the lyrics. She has since change it and skips that line. XD. - Submitted by: Dark.S

I'm blue without the beat I will die
I'm blue da boo dee da boo dy
The Story: There was this dumb contest on this radio morning show giving out tickets to some concert to anyone who can decipher the lyrics to this annoying-as-hell song. Some lady called up positive it was 'Without the beat I will die' and the djs were thrilled! Someone was really listening hard! Well, then this intern came in and broke the news, there really are no lyrics. The dj had to let her down hard and I think she got a T-Shirt or something, and all I could think was, slow news day. - Submitted by: Sarah

I’m indeed on a diet
Da ba dee da ba die
The Story: One evening after hearing this song on the radio a few times my friends were having a (somewhat drunken) argument about what it all really meant. The most popular opinion was that the ‘little guy’ in the song was feeling blue because he’d been made to go on a diet. There was however a strong minority that held that the little guy had just moved to Scotland – Aberdeen and Aberdour are both Scottish place names – and had now turned blue with cold! - Submitted by: Dinah Mouse
When Baal eats meat, All will die!
da ba dee da ba dai
The Story: When I first heard this song I was taking a course on ancient religions. The song freaked me out because I thought it was 'When baal eats meat, all will die!' You see, Baal is the name of a evil god from around babylon. In fact Baal was the basis of the christian Bealzebub!!! Human sacrifices were often made to this god to pacify him. When I was discussing this with my roomate she set me straight. Still... you never know what that gibberish means! - Submitted by: anonymous
Bureaucrat
Europop
The Story: My mother and I love listening to Eiffel 65 cd's in the car, but every time the song 'Europop' plays, my mom keeps saying 'Bureaucrat.' I have corrected her googols and googols of times, and she still says it. I showed her my cd cover, got the lyrics to 'Europop' off the Internet, and she still does it. I said to her, 'Keep that up and I'll report you to Am I Right - Misheard Lyrics.com!' And that's exactly what I did. :-) - Submitted by: Angelina G. McClanahan

The Story: My friend Rachael and I were at a social and were in a 'mosh pit' (or our school version anyway) around the dj, screaming out the words to this song. I stopped jumping and looked at her funnily when she sang the misheard lyrics. She's still convinced those are the words. - Submitted by: Rage
