Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Frankie & The Knockouts

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!).

The Misheard Lyrics:
Good luck, you found the storm
Who'll treat you like the storm?
The Real Lyrics:
Who'll love you from the start?
Who'll treat you like a star?
The Story: The first line of the misheard lyrics reminds me of a Legend of Zelda-like video game in which the main character is in search of a lightning bolt, and when he finally finds it, he grabs onto it. This, my friends, is an oxymoron. You can't grab onto a lightning bolt in reality, and even if you could, you could get badly shocked. - Submitted by: Isac
