Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> My Chemical Romance
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!).

Laughing hands forever
Or the last thing I see.
Or the last thing I see.

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see.
Or the last thing I see.
The Story: At first, all I could make out was forever. I thought, 'Dude, is he singing or just screaming?' It sounded something like this: 'whafsshh...forever.....' But then my sister suggested 'laughing hands', and that's what we heard for awhile until I finally understood him. - Submitted by: Sue Lin

From jumping out of fat camp?

My Chemical Romance's, "It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish"
The Misheard Lyrics:
A blonde warthog with you
The Real Lyrics:
And then I will be with you
The Story: XD It's really more of an inside joke with my friends. We were deliberately trying to stretch the lyrics, and any reference to a blonde warthog is also a bit of an inside joke... But anyway... - Submitted by: Aninnymouse
My Chemical Romance's, "The Sharpest Lives"

I love all the boys in
A way with the boys in the band
A way with the boys in the band

I love all poison
And away with the boys in the band.

The Story: Well, When me and my sister were listening to this song, we heard 'and I love all the boys in a way with the boys in the band' we freaked out and were like: Gerard's gay?

My Chemical Romance's, "Welcome To The Black Parade"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And though you're singing, God, believe me.
The Real Lyrics:
And though you're cynical, believe me.
The Story: I always thought it was "singing, God" but one day I just realised, just like that, that it was "cynical". It makes me laugh that lyrics sites think it's "dead and gone" because that wouldn't scan anyway! - Submitted by: Caz
My Chemical Romance's, "Welcome To The Black Parade"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And though you're synagogue believers
The Real Lyrics:
And though you're cynical, believe me.
The Story: Really this is just a comment instead of a story, but I have to be one of the closest in misheard lyrics to the real lyrics. At least Synagogue sounds SOMETHING like cynical. I must say, I have never heard it as dead and gone or singing God or whatever. I've always heard it as synagogue. But yes. I used synagogue as an adjective xD. As a matter of fact, I am listening to it now and STILL hear it as synagogue instead of cynical but I heard believe me not believers. - Submitted by: Yumei
