Nancy Wilson

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!).

Nancy Wilson's, "How Glad I Am"

The Misheard Lyrics:

And you don't know...how the hell I am

The Real Lyrics:

And you don't know...how glad I am

The Story: I heard Wilson's song on radio station KMPC (AM) about 1964, in Los Angeles. DJ Dick Whittinghill (since deceased) said some listeners claimed there was swearing in the lyrics. The next time he played it I listened carefully it sounded, sure enough, as if she was swearing. No one else in my family agreed with me; last year I got a collection of Nancy Wilson's songs on a CD, and listened more carefully--and my family was right. - Submitted by: Doug Montgomery
