Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean

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!).

Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean's, "Hips Don't Lie"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Yeah, Shakira's 86!
The Real Lyrics:
Yeah, oh, yeah, ladies, sí!
The Story: This line is shouted a bit indistinctly in the background during the instrumental bit and that's what I heard! I was wondering why they were saying Shakira was 86 years old when she clearly wasn't, but it turns out they were saying nothing of the kind! - Submitted by: Jacynthia Maries
Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean's, "Hips Don't Lie"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You know my Pips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel this white
The Real Lyrics:
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel this right
The Story: The Pips as in Gladys Knight and the Pips, who really made Shakira to feel this right...that's just racist... - Submitted by: Cody Finke
