Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Stephanie Mills

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!).

Stephanie Mills', "Shake Me Loose"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Well, you can try to shake me loose (don't try to shame)
You can leave with your dynamite, too
But I'm gonna be right behind you
It ain't Eddie's (or Annie's)
You ain't never gonna shake me loose
The Real Lyrics:
Well, you can try to shake me loose (don't try to shake me)
You can leave when you got a mind to
But I'm gonna be right behind you
It ain't at ease
You ain't never gonna shake me loose
The Story: A vocal version of the closing theme for the television show Bosom Buddies, used as the opening theme in syndication, replacing Billy Joel's "My Life" as a result of licensing issues. - Submitted by: Cody Finke
