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 live in a village near Glasgow and the nearest shopping area is called "Battlefield" and I have a friend Joanna who lives there. So I suppose that influenced what I heard! - Submitted by: Jamie MacNee
Why does love always feel like a battlefield,
A battlefield, a battlefield
You'd better go and get your mother
Get your mother, get your mother
Why does love always feel like a battlefield,
A battlefield, a battlefeld
You'd better go and get your armour
Get your armour, get your armour
The Story: I was listening to this song for the first time with a friend and I completely misheard what Jordin was singing; it was hilarious! - Submitted by: Jill Kavanaugh
better go and kiss your llama
better go and get your armour
The Story: I always thought it was kiss your llama, but I wondered why she'd be saying that. I wanted to see what they were really saying in the lyrics and I found it. - Submitted by: Hotdogman
You're on my heart just like in situ
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
The Story: I do medical transcription and have heard the term "in situ" dictated many times. I couldn't understand why the song writer had written a line with kind of an obscure term that also didn't seem to make sense lyrically. - Submitted by: Karen
