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!).

Jake Owen's, "I Was Jack, You Were Diane"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I was Jack and you were dying.

The Real Lyrics:

I was Jack and you were Diane.

The Story: When this song came out on March 12 2018, I was 9 years old. I'm gonna be 16 on July 17, 2024. So I was born on July 17, 2008. When I first heard this song, I was like "Why would he be talking about his girlfriend dying from an illness such as pneumonia or something and pretending that he was Jack while she was dying?" I just had to look up the song on YouTube to find out that I was wrong. - Submitted by: Riley Roth
