Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Loreena McKennitt

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!).

Loreena McKennitt's, "All Souls Night"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the Great Sharmie.
The Real Lyrics:
Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me.
The Story: This is just one of many strange things my mother has come up with while listening to music in the car. She thought the 'Great Sharmie' was a Celtic god or something. - Submitted by: j
