Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Korn

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!).

Korn's, "Coming Undone"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Since I was young
I've tasted sorrow on my tongue

The Real Lyrics:
Since I was young
I've tasted sorrow on my tongue
And this sweet sugar gun
Does not protect me.
The Story: I hear it when I'm jogging with my headphones on and it totally ruins the song! What's he doing with a turkey gun? I get this aweful mental image of Korn out hunting turkey. And why should it protect him? Are the turkey's dangerous? - Submitted by: Linda
