Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Spanky And Our Gang

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!).

Spanky And Our Gang's, "Lazy Day"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Flowers bloom when surfers shave in the snow.
or
Flowers bloom with girls savin' the show.
The Real Lyrics:
Flowers bloomin', squirrels sayin' hello.
The Story: I'd heard this song a lot of times before, without paying close attention to the words. Then yesterday it played on my car radio when I was in an area where the reception seemed better then usual. That made me pay more attention to the words, but even so, the lyrics to the above line remained a mystery. The misheard lyrics are my two best guesses as to what it sounded like. But since neither made much sense in the context of the song, I was suspicious. So I checked a lyrics site and found the correct lyrics. - Submitted by: Ava Murphy
Spanky And Our Gang's, "Sunday Will Never Be The Same"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Sunday afternoons that made me feel old woman's sides.
The Real Lyrics:
Sunny afternoons that made me feel so warm inside.
The Story: Not being born yet when this song was new, i first heard it on an 'oldies' station. I kind of did a 'double take' with this line, asking "What? What is she doing feeling old women's sides?" I started listening to the song closer, hoping that line would be repeated so I might find out what it really says (surely not what I thought I heard, I was thinking). I didn't hear it repeated that time. I don't believe it gets repeated at all in the song> At any rate, when it first caught my attention, I was hearing it for the last time in that particular playing of the song. I listened more to the station, hoping to hear the song repeated. It must have been weeks or months later, but I finally heard the song played again. Listening closely, I was pretty sure it said, 'Sunday afternoons that made me feel so warm inside', an altogether more feasible hearing! Finally I mentioned it to a friend, who happens to have the song on a CD. He played it for me and pointed out a further correction, that it seems in all likelihood to say 'sunny afternoons' rather than 'sunday afternoons'. - Submitted by: Penny Olivia Tyler
