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!).

Praisin the Lord! Praisin the Lord!
Breakin' the Law! Breakin' the Law!
The Story: You really had to be there. But this is one of my fondest memories of my coworker Emmy. We were all head banging, playing the fool. We heard her singing Praisin the Lord!!! Praisin the Lord!!! And we all just stopped and looked her, and started crackin up. She looked at us all and was and was so upset. She had no idea why we were all laughing. Every time it comes on now I think of my Emmy. - Submitted by: B. Bajackson care of E. Davis

Out the law, out the law.
Breaking the law, breaking the law.
The Story: Some guy told this at local bar when me and couple of friends were getting some alcoholic beverages. Suddenly our friend DJ played "Breaking the Law" from his cassette player, and we sang it of course. Then this quite drunken guy turned on us and screamed, 'It's out the law, out the law!'. We said 'Yeah, dude!' and laughed at him a lot. :D - Submitted by: Matt Borne

The Vicar
The Ripper
The Story: I had just started to date my now husband when he decided I needed to learn more about heavy metal. So after a crash course in various bands I was given a tape of Judas Priest. When I had haerd the tape and looked at the tracklist I could not see a track called The Vicar but there was one called The Ripper which was when I realised my mistake. My boyfreind thought this was hilarious when I confessed and everytime we hear this song we both sing out The Vicar in very loud voices especially at concerts. - Submitted by: Sharon
