Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Gretchen Wilson

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!).

And I hope that Oprah doesn't sing this song.
The Real Lyrics:
And I know all the words to every Ol' Bocephus song.
The Story: I recently saw a clip on E! channel about when Oprah Winfrey's show had a theme song with lyrics back in 1998. The commentators made fun of Oprah's attempt at singing. When I heard the line about Ol' Bocephus, I thought it funny that Oprah would attempt to sing country! - Submitted by: John Bocchino

Gretchen Wilson's, "Redneck Woman"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I'm just a product of the Range
And I say "hey y'all" and "yee haw"
-- or --
I'm just a product of the Ridge
And I say "hey y'all" and "yee haw"
The Real Lyrics:
I'm just a product of my raising.
I say "hey y'all" and "yee haw."
The Story: Where I live, we have an area of the state called the Iron Range, once used for mining iron ore. I knew it probably wasn't referring to this. Then I thought of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it being Southern, seemed to fit. I had to Google the actual lyrics to find out. - Submitted by: Peggy Schmidt
Gretchen Wilson's, "Redneck Woman"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I'm just the pride of tougher raisin'
And I say, 'Hey y'all, ain't he hot?'
The Real Lyrics:
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say, 'Hey y'all!' and 'Yee haw!'
The Story: I used to hear this song all the time at work. To my surprise, I actually heard most of the lyrics right, but those two didn't make sense. Well, the 'tougher raisin' part does in a way, but I couldn't figure out what 'hey y'all, ain't he hot?' had to do with anything. After I cracked my country-music loving friend up with the misheard lyrics, I finally bothered to look up the real ones. - Submitted by: Lady Blues

I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd gettin' straight.

I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait.
