Commonly Misheard Disney Lyrics You Might Be Getting Wrong

From the Oh My Disney blog

Did you know that a commonly misheard phrase is called a mondegreen? Now you do! While you may have never heard that term, you’ve likely heard (or misheard, rather) lyrics to a song that may have been a little different than what the song really says. Taylor Swift’s “Starbucks lovers,” anyone? Here are a few Disney lyrics that we’re constantly hearing people get wrong. (We might be guilty of getting a few of these wrong too.) See if there are any that surprise you:

Misheard: ♫ Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the lukewarm moon ♫

Correct: ♫ Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon ♫

Misheard: ♫ Pink pajamas, penguins on the bottom ♫

Correct: ♫ Nants ingonyama bagithi baba ♫

Misheard: ♫ With all the force of the great Thai food ♫

Correct: ♫ With all the force of a great typhoon ♫

Misheard: ♫ Forget about your worries and your stripes ♫

Correct: ♫ Forget about your worries and your strife ♫

Misheard: ♫ It’s our problem freeze, for the lots of ease ♫

Correct: ♫ It’s our problem-free philosophy ♫

Misheard: ♫ Call us brutal, saints of Disney ♫

Correct: ♫ Call us brutal, sick, sadistic ♫

Misheard: ♫ A shining new mirror is tiptoeing nearer ♫

Correct: ♫ A shining new era is tiptoeing nearer ♫

Misheard: ♫ Every turn a surprise, every moment gets better ♫

Correct: ♫ Every turn a surprise, every moment red letter ♫

Misheard: ♫ Do you wanna build a snowman, it’s only gonna be a snowman ♫

Correct: ♫ Do you wanna build a snowman, it doesn’t have to be a snowman ♫

Misheard: ♫ Some folks might be a little bit smaller than I am, bigger and stronger it’s true ♫

Correct: ♫ Some folks might be a little bit smarter than I am, bigger and stronger too ♫
