Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> The Buggles

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 Buggles', "Video Killed The Radio Star"
The Misheard Lyrics:
And now I understand that Super Nova scene.
The Real Lyrics:
And now I understand the problems that you see.
The Story: I had no idea what a 'super nova scene' was, but I could have contemplated the meaning of that lyric for the rest of my life. Now that I know what they're really saying, it's rather dull. - Submitted by: E. Fincher

The Story: Yes, my friend was humming it, and then he typed in what he thought were the lyrics to me over MSN. I almost fell over laughing. - Submitted by: Undisclosed
