Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Seether

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!).

Seether's, "Betray and Degrade"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I drank the gravy down
To save a clown
This emptiness defines you
And take from this tortured sound
My pants are down
The shallowness confines you
The Real Lyrics:
Betray and degrade me now
I'll savor how
This emptiness defines you
And take from this tortured sound
My hands are bound
The shallowness confines you
The Story: I was only half listening, as I was in an argument with a friend, and I absolutely misheard this when it was sung the final time (The only time I actually tried to listen), and I hadn't eaten in a day and a half. I had also just seen it, and I was at that time into sexual humor, rather than dark humor. No special story. I still sing it this way. - Submitted by: Rowan Mauldin
Seether's, "Driven Under"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Then she told me she had a d***
It sounded like she'd used it once before.
The Real Lyrics:
Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used it once before.
The Story: It was the bleeped out version that MTV ran. I was like, 'Wow, one bad experience with a transvestite there, huh? Who did you write this about now? Hmmm?' Then I heard it on the radio. Yes, I was officially a target for making fun of for the rest of the day. - Submitted by: Isabel
Seether's, "Fake It"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong, yeah
Fake it if you like the Bankstown w***e
You're such a f**cking hypocrite.
The Real Lyrics:


Fake it if you like infection, oooooh
The Story: I think my version made more sense. - Submitted by: David
Seether's, "Fake it"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You're such a f***in' immigrant
The Real Lyrics:
You're such a f***in' hypocrite
The Story: I heard it this way a long time ago and still sing it this way. - Submitted by: Cassie Donahue
Seether's, "Fine Again"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I hear you labeled me a liar
'Cause I can't sing, yep that's true.
The Real Lyrics:
I hear you label me a liar
'cause I can't seem to get this through.
The Story: I thought Shaun (lead singer) had sang that line in the song (the line I thought he'd said), because there were lots of people saying he's just a crappy Kurt Cobain impersonator. I figured he was trying to be a smarta** to those people. - Submitted by: Derek
