Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Staind

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!).

Staind's, "It's Been Awhile"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I cannot blame this on my mother
He did the best he could for me
The Real Lyrics:
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
The Story: I thought the singer was saying mother and found it quite funny. I told my mom this one time when this song came on. Then it came on again the other day and when that line came around I said 'Mom, listen to this.' And she said, 'It sound's like he is singing father.' So I just checked on it and my mom was right. - Submitted by: Paula S.
