Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Gary U.S. Bonds

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!).

Gary U.S. Bonds 's, "Quarter To Three"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And they were singin' with a manatee.
or
And they were swingin' with my dad and me.
The Real Lyrics:
And they were swingin' with Daddy G.
The Story: The first misheard lyric above is how I thought it sounded when I first heard it. The second is what I was all ready to submit as the correct lyrics, until a quick check of a lyrics site showed that that was also a mishearing. - Submitted by: Lydia Helton
