Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Jonas Brothers

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!).

Jonas Brothers', "Cool"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Maybe I should powder my moose.
The Real Lyrics:
Maybe I should patent my moves.
The Story: At first, I wondered if "moose" was slang for something, perhaps like "moose knuckle," the male version of the camel toe, but then I realized that even if it was, "powdering his moose" would have very little to do with being cool, and wouldn't make sense in context with the next line "Sell 'em for a dollar or two." - Submitted by: CatLadyDX

Politicians,Hurricane Katrina other:Billbords Pactors/tractors/altoids

Jonas Brothers', "Mandy"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Mandy always laughs at Star Wars people
Never really wanna be on newsstands
And fairytales are never wasted time.
The Real Lyrics:
Mandy always laughs when I act stupid
I am unaware that I'm a nuisance
With her it's never wasted time
The Story: In my defense, when I first heard this it was on the radio and it had really bad reception, so this is what I first heard and sung for quite awhile until I heard the correct lyrics listening to the song online years later. - Submitted by: Eric
