It's not exactly entirely clear why this happens, we just know that it does. The acoustic information that's received and the interpretation a brain comes up with simply don't match up.
This is essentially what happens in the childhood game of "telephone." As one friend whispers a word or phrase into another's ear, it can become wildly distorted, and a totally different word or phrase can come out the other side. According to the author, when she was young her mother would read to her from a book called "Reliques of Ancient Verse." Her favorite poem from the 1765 book went like this: "Ye Highland and Ye Lowlands / Oh where have you been? / They have slain the Earl o'Moray / And laid him on the green." Wright, however, heard the last line as "And Lady Mondegreen."Ī mondegreen actually takes place between auditory perception (the physical act of hearing) and meaning-making (when our brains imbibe the noises with significance). The term was coined in a November 1954 Harper's Bazaar piece, where the author, Sylvia Wright, recalled a childhood mishearing. I just listened!! I’m questioning everything I know to be true now.The word mondegreen is defined as a misheard word or phrase that makes sense in your head, but is, in fact, incorrect. AND IM NOT EVEN IN THE MOOD RIGHT NOW.ĭannng. This similarly sparked outrage from his followers on Twitter. Most fans thought that T-Pain was singing “and they stay there” twice during the chorus. AND THEY SAY YEAH” sorry #AlliDoIsWin I’m from #Tallahassee bro. I don’t wanna throw another wrench in your childhood but also it’s “Everybody hands go UP. “I don’t wanna throw another wrench in your childhood but also it’s ‘Everybody hands go UP………and they stay there……….AND THEY SAY YEAH’ sorry #AlliDoIsWin I’m from #Tallahassee bro. Listening back ASAP cause now i feel like my life is a lie.Īfter the 32-year-old understandably received shocked messages from his fans, T Pain took things a step further by revealing the truth behind his 2010 collaboration with DJ Khaled ‘All I Do Is Win’ featuring Rick Ross, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg. Since I heard it I haven't been able to unhear it When in fact, he was singing “I’mma buy you a drank/And then I’mma take you home.”Ĭlearly, the T in T-Pain doesn't stand for Truthful because we all know the correct lyric is "I'mma buy you a drank, ooh-wee."
