Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Yael Naim

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!).

Yael Naim's, "New Soul"
The Misheard Lyrics:
But wild beasts came fighting Dominique, Kate
Finding trust and love is not so wheeze, is it, to make?
The Real Lyrics:
But why all this hate? Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make.
The Story: Some of the lyrics in this song have rather awkward pacing, probably none more so than this couplet. That pacing, along with the singer's accent, make some lines difficult to understand. My misheard version was as close as I could come with these lines until I found the song on a lyrics site, providing the correct lyrics. - Submitted by: Karen Smith
