Faith No More

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!).

Faith No More's, "From Out Of Nowhere"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I am nineteen fellows
I re-can joy.

The Real Lyrics:

All energy funnels
All becomes you.

The Story: I was in a band around that time, and these are the lyrics I used to sing on stage when covering this song. They hadn't invented the Internet yet and I only found out the real words this evening! - Submitted by: Richard Braithwaite

Faith No More's, "From Out Of Nowhere"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I know you see me, Jonathan Gillott.

The Real Lyrics:

I know you see me, our eyes interlock.

The Story: I was riding my bike the first time I listened to the song, and swore he was singing about me, because that's my name. When my brother and I were young, he would pronounce the 'Jonathan' as more like 'Jaw-than', and that's totally what this song sounded like. - Submitted by: DarkJon64

Faith No More's, "Midlife Crisis"

The Misheard Lyrics:

You're menstruating hard.

The Real Lyrics:

Your menstruating heart.

The Story: This lyric always puzzled me. I used to have the song on tape, so I had no lyric-sheet with it (and Mike Patton doesn't sing very audibly in this song. At first I thought that the song was about a woman in her menopause, after all the song is called 'Midlife Crisis', but that seemed too strange. After that I thought his girlfriend was giving him a hard time, while she was having her period. When I finally bought the cd and read the lyrics, the song became crystal-clear. I'm glad my lyrics don't sound that different from the correct ones, which probably saved me from some odd looks! - Submitted by: Timhotep
