Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Bob Rivers

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!).


Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire album at Amazon.com
Bob Rivers', "What If Eminem Did Jingle Bells"
The Misheard Lyrics:
It's time for old Nick to move and retire Or we’ll roast his nipples on a big-ass fire
The Real Lyrics:
It's time for old Nick to move and retire Or we’ll roast his nuts on a big-ass fire
The Story: There’s a radio-edit version of this song that censors the word “nuts” by replacing the middle of the word with humorous sound effects. However, an unintended side effect is that it now sounds more like he was saying “nipples”. - Submitted by: Hu’s On First
Bob Rivers', "Yellow Snow! Yellow Snow! Yellow Snow!"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Yellowstone, Yellowstone, Yellowstone
The Real Lyrics:
