Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Manfred Mann

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 Misheard Lyrics:
Holding my hand just as mental as can be.
The Real Lyrics:
Holding our hands just as natural as can be.
The Story: For the longest time I thought they were singing the word 'mental.' Whenever that part came on, it reminded me of Ed Grimley, I must say. But I soon found out that the word was actually 'natural.' I also thought that the word was 'gentle' when I submitted the same misheard lyric last week. Sorry about that. So the correct word is definitely 'natural.' - Submitted by: JD
