Q-Tip

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!).

Q-Tip's, "Vivrant Thing"

The Misheard Lyrics:

It's just a five cent thing.

The Real Lyrics:

You're just a vivrant thing.

The Story: My mother likes to think she's cool. So when she heard the song, she tried to sing it around me and my brothers. The only part she knew was the chorus, and she tried to do a cute dance along with her singing. But she jus ended up looking (silly) singing the wrong lyrics and doing her version of the 'dances-young-people-do-today'. My brothers and I laughed for days. We still laugh at her whenever she tries to sing any hip-hop song. - Submitted by: Kaella
