Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Gogol Bordello

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!).

Gogol Bordello's, "Uma Menina"
The Misheard Lyrics:
S**t, s**t, s**t, s**t
S**t, s**t, s**t, s**t
S**t, s**t, s**t, s**t on me
The Real Lyrics:
She, she, she, she
She, she, she, she
She, she, she, she told me
The Story: I thought Gogol was letting slip a long-time latent desire of his... until I bypassed the heavy accent and realised what he said. I still prefer my mishearing; adds a sordidly amusing twang to the song. - Submitted by: Devil Jones
