Misheard Lyrics aka Mondegreens

Misheard lyrics are a common example in music because people mishear lyrics, believing it is the real lyrics so here's the songs chosen by me that have misheard lyrics:

Take That - "A Million Love Songs" (1992)

  • Misheard lyrics: "A million love Schwarzeneggers"
  • Real lyrics: "A million love songs later"
  • Reason: The boyband's first hit, a ballad that is adored by fans and critics, which I mishear the lyrics as a reference to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Black Eyed Peas - "Boom Boom Pow" (2009)


  • Misheard lyrics: "Got a Kit-Kat"
  • Real lyrics: "Gotta get get"
  • Reason: The synth-rap quartet returned with a electro-influenced "Boom Boom Pow", some people confused it as a product placement.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - "Blinded by the Light" (1976)

  • Misheard lyrics: "Wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night"
  • Real lyrics: "Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"
  • Reason: The lyrics can be very misheardable, with people thinking it is about a hygiene product.
