Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Mark Lindsay

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:
Harry's moanin
The Real Lyrics:
Arizona
The Story: I was a kid and this song would be on the radio all the time and I used to think that the chorus was 'Harry's moanin'' and my Dad used to just laugh at me. It wasn't until he bought me the 45 that I realized how stupid I was. He still gives me grief about it today, some 30 years later. - Submitted by: Robert Brunsman

The Story: I used to be a radio disc jockey and someone called up and didn't know what the song title was, but wanted to hear "Arizona", by Mark Lindsay. They sang a piece of it over the phone. This is what they thought. - Submitted by: John A. Quayle
