12 Misheard TV Theme Song Lyrics From Your Youth

by Chelsea Mize

I have an uncanny talent for mishearing song lyrics and, then even when I learn the proper lyrics, still continuing to sing them incorrectly because I learned the lyrics incorrectly and thus they are stored in the impenetrable safe that is the part of my brain that stores song lyrics. My lyric mishearing goes back to my childhood when I sang woefully incorrect lyrics along to the theme songs of my favorite TV shows. I like to think that I'm not alone in this struggle and I can only imagine that there are dozens of you out there remembering the misheard TV theme song lyrics you yourself sang as a kid.

This might be an understandably inaccurate prediction but I have to keep telling myself that I am not the only one suffering from this predilection. And let's be real, it makes the song way more entertaining when you mix up the words. Fergie's "Glamorous" is way more boring than my "Glamorous," in which "Sippin', reminiscin' on days when I had a mustang" morphs like a beautiful butterfly into "Sippin', reminiscin' on days when I had a mustache."

Whether you misunderstood these lyrics or not, one thing is certain: these TV theme songs will catapult you right back into the blissful days of childhood.
