Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons

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!).

My eyes of Georgia
Though I didn't lay a hand on you
My eyes of Georgia

My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me, you couldn't see how I adored you.
