NHPR Presents: Misheard Lyrics Music Special

Listen back to NHPR's Misheard Lyrics Music Special.

Everybody has at least one song they’re convinced they’ve been singing correctly—until someone points out they’re hilariously off. Whether Johnny Nash is seeing clearly now that Lorraine is gone, the Black Crowes are blushing over Bette Davis, or Eurythmics fans think sweet dreams are made of cheese, we've all fallen victim to a mondegreen (a.k.a. a misheard lyric).

Click on the red 'LISTEN' button above to hear this show! 

On NHPR's Misheard Lyrics Music Show, we celebrate those lyrical mix-ups in a fun and surprising two-hour journey—powered entirely by listener requests. Every song in the show was submitted by someone who once swore they heard it that way. It's musical nostalgia, collective confession, and comedy wrapped into one unforgettable playlist.

Tune in, sing along (wrongly or not), and enjoy the magic of misheard music—and thank you to everyone who submitted their song request
