Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Hoobastank

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!).

Hoobastank's, "Disappear"
The Misheard Lyrics:
There's a p**** slips inside
It sleeps with just one eye.
The Real Lyrics:
There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye.
The Story: A colleague lent me this cd album (The Reason) to listen to at work and when I misheard this lyric she told me it was my dirty mind. I had to quickly get the cd booklet out to see what they were really supposed to be singing. I'm still not convinced though. - Submitted by: Nick
Hoobastank's, "The Reason"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I am not a perverted person.
The Real Lyrics:
I am not a perfect person.
The Story: My friend and I were very tired one night and we were going home and heard that song. We couldn't stop laughing cause we literally thought he said 'perverted'! - Submitted by: Genelle
