misheard lyrics

Yes, I know there is a website for this (kissthisguy.com),
but I thought it would be funnier to hear the ear scrambles
people on this board have done. I, for example, misheard
Four Season's "Big Girls Don't Cry" as "Speed Curls Gold
Fry," when I was about 4 years old. A more recent mistake
of mine has me singing the Nine Inch Nail's "Down in It"
line "I was up above it" as "I look like a muppet." I KNOW
I'm not the only one, share yours.

Ok, fine, I thought of another one. In fact, I just looked
up to see what Dido is really singing in the Eminem song
"Stan." I knew I was hearing it wrong, but I couldn't
bother with figuring it out. Yup, until now.

I heard: "I wanna make love to my window."
It's actually: "The morning rain clouds up my window.."

At The Drive-In: 'One Armed Scissor'

I heard (and still hear) in the chorus 'Get Away, Get Away',
but the booklet says: Cut Away, Cut Away'. I still think my
interpretation works better.

my boyfriend thought that bush song that goes "cuz i don't
wanna come back down from this cloud" was "cuz i don't
wanna come back down from islam."

"calling jamaica" when it was actually "coming to wake her"

PJ Harvey "Let me ride on his face for a while." It's
actually "let me ride on his grace for a while." Which is
better?

i thought the lyrics in wu-tang's shame on a n***a
were: "when you see me on the real formin like voltron
remember i got teeth like a baby seal".

for years i thought that.

it's really, "i got D' like a navy seal".

Yeah, i totally hear "get away!!"

Also My friend thought the lyrics of perfect drug that went
"without you its not as much fun to pick up the pieces" was
actually "... its not as much fun to pick on the pussy"

:D

He also makes other great mistakes that totally work.
What was that slipknot song... Liberate. Did it go
"liberate my madness"?

Well anyway he thought it was "liberate bananas"

:D!!!

i find with singing it's a lot easier to mishear something.
rap is pretty easy, even the scrambled word's of odb's nigga
please can be understand with time.

My personal favorite on kissthisguy.com:

Song: Land of Sunshine
Artist: Faith No More

The real lyrics were:
Does life seem worthwhile to you?

But I misheard them as:
It's my Sea World party!

The embarrassing moment of revelation:
My friend Nick Dazio was the genius behind this one. I had
it cranked and he was singing along and got to that point in
the song and he belted that out. I said "What kind of retard
are you?" and he shot back with the ever clever "Shut up
man." I told everyone of this and he never lived it down.

My friend thought the Darkness - 'I believe in a thing
called love, just listen to the rhythm of my heart'

was 'I believe in a thing called love, just look on the roof
of my car'

Either way the song sucks balls

mishearing lyrics: my life story.

i believe it was earthleakage, who corrected my hearing of
"fuss and fight" as "fussing fart" on that song Next Door
(or whatever the title is) by Massive Attack...

well the lyrics on beetles has been debated before but now i
think i know how it really goes!
most of u said the lyrics were:

beetles under my carpet under my feet
they come in the heat

and i said the lyrics were:

beetles under my carpet under my feet
they come out at night

but he actually sings both and in that order i think, listen
carefully!

i thought it was "nobody gonna give you no bouquet"

and it's aparently: "Nobody naw give you no break"

I was always thinking "why would someone give them a bouquet
anyway?"

i thought native english speakers wouldn't have this sort of
problems..i miss half of what is being said usually and that
sucks. im going to a nick cave gig tomorrow and i'll have to
listen real hard to get something properly..it's going to be
an acoustic version so at least i'll hear him more clearly i
think!

you'd be suprised what people misunderstand in songs (even
english speakers). Either song artists use diverse
pronounciation or the harmonics obscure the natural
phonetics of letters and words.
