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!).

A digital love
Addicted to love
The Story: It was when I was very little and it was on the radio in this coach when I was on holiday in Portugal with my family and my friend and her family. It always conjured up an image in my head of a woman who lived in a digital watch. - Submitted by: Sarah
Might as well face it, it's my d*** that you love.
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.
The Story: Compliments of a Romainian band I saw doing the northern Ontario Canada bar circuit. Funny! - Submitted by: Gord
Might as well face it, you're a d***head in love.
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.
The Story: This line was actually heard (or misheard) by my sister-in-law's mother. My sister-in-law said that she was about 14. She and her mother were in the car when this song came on the radio. My sister-in-law was singing this song (correctly I might add). Her mother turned bright-red. When she asked her mother why she was so red, her mother told her that she didn't know why they would play a song with such dirty lyrics. She heard what her mother thought the song said, she fell out laughing and corrected her mother. When I heard this, I couldn't stop laughing. It was priceless! - Submitted by: INCILI
My a*** wears faces and my t**s are in love.
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.
The Story: My father laughed when he first heard this song---because he really thought that's what was being said. - Submitted by: John
Your teeth are green.
Your teeth grind.
The Story: As elementary school kids (5th or 6th grade), my best friend Kristen swore the lyric was, 'Your teeth are green'. Being too young to really know anything about passion or love, we could not figure out what would render a person's teeth green if he or she was addicted to love. - Submitted by: A Daley
Might as well face it, you're a d***head for love.
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.
The Story: I used to work at a radio station in the 80's when this song was everywhere. One of the DJ's seriously thought it was "D***head For Love" the first time he heard it. Actually when you think about it, it makes sense. :) - Submitted by: Barbara

Simply irresistable
The Story: My little sister was listening to Robert Palmer's tape in her bedroom and imitating the dance moves the girls in the video were doing. I heard her sing the chorus and burst out laughing. I asked her to repeat it. When she did, I took her down to my parents and got her to sing it for them. Of course, I didn't correct her until days later. Everyone had a good laugh at her expense. - Submitted by: ryan helbren
Her canteloupe is mythical.
That kind of love is mythical.
The Story: Well, I thought that sounded what those words were, and then I listened again, and thought to myself, 'You silly thing, as if he would be using such weird Bohemian stuff in his music!?' - Submitted by: S. Nowells

She's anything but typical

We want to monkey ride
We want to multiply
The Story: When this album first came out, I would listen and sing to it while getting ready for work. I sang my understanding of the lyrics with such conviction! My husband stopped me one morning to ask what a 'monkey ride' was. When he told me the real lyrics we rolled with laughter. That was almost 20 years ago and we still get a good laugh out of 'monkey ride' - Submitted by: Annette Fitzpatrick
