About This Quiz
If you've ever messed up the lyrics to a song, you know that it can be a little bit embarrassing. You can get close to the sounds of the words, but you may not be able to get the exact right lyrics out, no matter how many times you've heard the song. Don't worry. There is actually a term to describe when people mess up lyrics: mondegreen. A mondegreen occurs when someone mishears or misinterprets lyrics to a song and believes what they heard to be the actual lyrics. It's not an uncommon occurrence, and it isn't necessarily limited to music or poetry (consider seeing someone write "per say" instead of "per se"). However, for this quiz, we are sticking to lyrics ... and specific lyrics at that.Â
We're going to take 35 of your favorite Disney songs and totally fudge up the lyrics. We want to see if you can see through the mistakes and guess the song we're singing. Do you think you have what it takes? If so, experience a whoooolllleee neeeewwww quiiiizzzzzzzz, and start scrolling to see just what's in store for you "over highways and wonders" on this magic carpet ride. It may help if you whistle while you quiz.
