Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Mandy Moore

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!).

Mandy Moore's, "Cry"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I promise, remember.
The Real Lyrics:
I'll always remember.
The Story: Well, my friend told me about how he overheard his workmate sing this song with those lyrics. But I still think it was he who sung it incorrectly and blamed his poor workmate for it. - Submitted by: Carlos A.
Mandy Moore's, "In My Pocket"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Nothin' but panties in my pocket.
The Real Lyrics:
Nothin' but pennies in my pocket.
The Story: My sister and I were listing to this on the radio, and we both thought she sang 'panties'. When we got home we saw the video on tv so we turned on closed captioning and found out it was 'pennies'. We actually sand this around our friends and no one ever noticed it! - Submitted by: SMHScheer24
Mandy Moore's, "In My Pocket"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Nothing but candies in my pocket
Nothing but yours to keep me warm
The Real Lyrics:
Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
The Story: I've been out of the country for years, so the first time I heard this song on TRL, I seroiusly thought I was singing the right words! I didn't know I had it wrong until I saw someone else's misheard lyric for that song on this site. Oops! - Submitted by: Phish
Mandy Moore's, "Senses Working Overtime"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And the elephants can all sleep safely.
The Real Lyrics:
And the innocents can all sleep safely.
The Story: The previous line is 'straw for the donkeys,' and I guess my mind just focused on elephants being connected with donkeys, as it sounds more like elephants than innocents. Guess Dad's heard the song before, though, and seemed to know that there's no 'elephant' in the song. - Submitted by: Frank15
