Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> SWV

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!).

The Real Lyrics:
By age thirteen, I was buckwild
Good at my knuckle game.
The Story: I was at a friend's house, and we were kickin' it with 6 guys. The SWV song came on and Josh (a guy who was there) started singing it in my ear. I asked, 'Is that really what it says?' He replied, 'All yeah! You didn't know that?' He told everyone else at the party, and they all started laughing. How embarrassing! - Submitted by: daddysgirl
