Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Sonny Curtis

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!).

You can never tell, why don't you take it

Sonny Curtis', "Love Is All Around"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seaworth while?
The Real Lyrics:
Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
The Story: I was eight when The Mary Tyler Moore Show debuted, and my belief that the lyricist was saluting Mary Richards for repairing the leaky vessel of a nothing day so that it might be ready to launch out up on the open ocean once more gave me an early lesson in poetic license. - Submitted by: Scott Lahti
