Noah Kahan Just Exposed the Hilarious Lyrics Fans Have Been Singing at His Concerts

Noah Kahan is basically the best sport when it comes to fan mishaps. On July 22, the Vermont singer-songwriter posted a series of“lyric clarifications”on X to address something that’s been happening at his live shows: fans have been singing significantly different lyrics than what he actually recorded. The most famous mix-up? In“Stick Season,”concertgoers have been shouting“Suck Your Mom”when the real lyric is“Saw your mom.”His tracks“23”and“Haircut”have experienced similar creative reimagining at concerts, with fans adding some extra explicit flavor that never made it into the studio recordings.

What’s refreshing about Noah’s response is that he kept the whole thing lighthearted and hilarious. Instead of getting frustrated with his fanbase for misheard lyrics, he basically gave them permission to sing whatever their brains want them to sing. That kind of attitude is exactly why his fanbase is so devoted. He’s not precious about his music or acting like his fans are annoying for getting words wrong—he’s laughing along with them. This kind of relatable energy is part of what made“Stick Season”become such a cultural phenomenon in the first place.

The lyric mix-ups became especially noticeable during his current tour supporting The Great Divide, the album that spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 after releasing in April. Given how many people are singing along at his shows, it makes sense that these alternate lyrics would catch his attention and stick around. This PSA also comes just weeks after Noah issued another PSA about bathroom etiquette at his venues, proving he’s not afraid to address the real, human moments that happen when you’re out here touring the country. What’s the funniest lyric you’ve ever completely mishearheard at a concert?
