This Moana Song Lyric Sounds Filthy & You’ll Never Be Able To Unhear It

So, why do people hear “f***ing” instead of “falling and?” Misheard lyrics aren’t a new phenomenon. There’s an entire meme dedicated to people hearing Justin Timberlake sing “I’m gonna be May” in lieu of “It’s gonna be me.” Sometimes, due to the way people pronounce certain words or how the human mind fills in gaps when we’re not quite sure what someone’s saying, we get these amusing lyric interpretations.
In fact, “Moana” isn’t even the first Disney movie to have people (mis)hearing naughty words. TikToker @trucker_burnsey uploaded a video containing several misheard lyrics, including one from “Poor Unfortunate Souls” in “The Little Mermaid.” When Ursula (Pat Carroll) sings, “They come flocking to my cauldron,” one can almost hear, “They come f*** into my cauldron.” The non-existent swear word really comes through if you’re not really paying attention while listening to the song.
The “Moana” mishap can be attributed to Moana singing “falling” rather quickly and punctuating the “and” to the point where it almost sounds like … well, you know. It’s one of those things that happen from time to time, and with the live-action “Moana” movie currently being worked on by Disney, maybe more attention will be paid to make sure the actor who plays Moana this time around really enunciates “falling.”
