Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> The Supremes

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 Supremes', "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"
The Misheard Lyrics:
If you need me, put your c**k on me
The Real Lyrics:
If you need me, call me
The Story: I was listening to it on my local radio station and heard it. I thought that it was very rude so I rung up the radio station to complain! I went live on air to send out my views. I felt a complete d*ckhead afterwards when hearing it again!!!!!!! :) - Submitted by: Simon Burrows
The Supremes', "You Can't Hurry Love"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You can't have Reva
No, you'll just have to wait.
The Real Lyrics:
You can't hurry love
Oh you'll just have to wait.
The Story: I imagined Reva as a bitchy red-headed woman, who was playing hard to get, stringing a poor guy along. - Submitted by: sondi
