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!).

The Story: I was at my friends house watching MTV when this video came on. When it was over, I said to my friend, 'Gosh, she sure isn't a setting a good example because she's talking about giving up.' Then my friend just started laughing and laughing. He told everyone in the school about it. Boy was I mad! - Submitted by: william
Don't be fooled by the rocks on my lock
I'm still, I'm still Jenny, Jennifer
First I had a little lover, have my lock.
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the Block
First I had a little, now I have a lot.
The Story: My cousin was singing this. I was laughing so hard, he probably misheard the real lyrics from my mouth. I wonder what he's singing it as now---hmm. - Submitted by: tabby
I'm still, I'm still chili from the pot.
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the Block.
The Story: My friends and I were in the car the first time I heard this song. When I heard the lyrics, I exclaimed, 'Why is she saying she's chili from the pot, and what does that mean?!' They had to correct me. One of my friends said, 'Yeah, she still chilly from the toilet.' - Submitted by: Becky
To 'On the 6' to 'J. Lo' to this headline clips.
To all the sexy J. Lo to these headline hips.
The Story: My friend and I were having a debate as to whether she said headline 'hips' or 'hits.' We looked it up, and we were all wrong! What is 'this headline clips' supposed to mean, anyway??!! - Submitted by: Kelly
Think I'm gonna spank your tush?
I won't!
Think I'm gonna spend your cash
I won't!
The Story: This song came out when I was younger, and my sister and I would preview the CD at Barnes & Noble. We loved the song, but we were too scared to ask our mother to buy the CD for us, since it said something as bad as 'spank your tush'. About six years later, I find out it doesn't even say that. - Submitted by: Vanora
