Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Trooper

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!).

Trooper's, "3 Dressed Up as a Nine"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You’re just a Queen dressed up as a nine.
The Real Lyrics:
You're just a 3 dressed up as a nine
The Story: This song became “our song”, since we never had a special song in our long term relationship. And he only discovered I was misinterpreting the words about a year ago. We laugh about it every time now and hear it on our favourite, local, classic rock radio station Q104 FM daily. We cajole each other about it and will still sing my version/cause of course it doesn’t make sense!😂 - Submitted by: Maryanne Carroll
