Amy3125 Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 In Alan Jackson's "That'd be Alright", it says "If everybody everywhere had a lighter load to bare." I thought it said "if everybody everywhere had a lion or a bear." I spent at least an hour trying to figure out why people needed animals like that to make everything okay. My friend Emily thought that Tracy Chapman said "Only smoking hashish" instead of "Only smoke and ashes." My friend Nicole is the queen of misheard lyrics. --Her take on the first couple lines of the "Saved by the Bell" Themes Song: "When I wake up in the morning and my pants are feeling funny, then I know I'm gonna make it alright." It really says "When I wake up in the morning and my alarm gives out a warning, I don't think I'm gonna make it on time." --"Hard to Handle" by the Black Crowes: It really saids "Let me light your candle b/c a-momma I'm sho' hard hard to handle now." She heard "Hey little thing, lemon-lime ch-chemical." She's always good for hours of laughs. That's why we love her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyguitar Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I think it's ....Well I'm so tired of crying...I'm on the road again....or something like it. Am I the only one who thought Desmond Dekker's classic, The Israelites...had the line Gettup in the morning, bake beans for breakfast....? I still hear it to this day :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneTim Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 What's funny is that you say I've been mishearing the lyric for 30 years when 30 is twice my age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 In "Roundabout" by Yes, I thought they said "In and around the lake, marlins come out of the sky and they stand there" and marlins is actually "mountains" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 In "Public Animal #9" by Alice Cooper, the first lines are Hey hey hey! Me and G.B. We ain't never gonna confess We cheated at the math test But I heard it as "hey hey hey! Me and Jimmy we ain't never gonna confess.

Earth-Angel Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I was really getting into the new Rob Thomas single "I don't wanna be lonely" until he sang: "Open up to me, and I can do your girlfriends..." :: Only to hear in the accoustic version he really sings "Open up to me like you do your girlfriends" *phew* Rob nearly lost points there, but it's ok, all is good again :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Up until I just read earth-angel's post, I thought Rob Thomas said the same thing I'm wondering why a woman would want to open up to him just so he can fool around with her girlfriends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 There's this site I came across once on Misheard Lyircs I don't know if it has already been mentioned. A completely understandable misunderstanding from November Rain that I found on the site: The line goes: Or I'll just end up walking The guy hears: Rockets in the Balkans I heard the song again and it DOES sound like 'Rockets in the Balkans'!

Guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Ever since I've known the song, I got this lyric wrong, until one day, riding in the truck, I just heard it differently, for whatever reason. The middle of "I'm Not in Love", by 10cc, there's a woman whispering. I always thought she was saying "Requesting quiet, requesting quiet" when in reality, she was aying "Big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry" Strange that after 20 years of hearing it one way, one day I heard it another. When I first heard the whispered part of this song, I was in my Dad's car in Baltimore, and my Dad and I heard this song on the radio while we were going for a drive. I could've sworn the woman was whispering, "Big Poiston Qui, Big Poiston Qui. Big Poiston Qui." When in reality, the whispered part, as my Dad told me, actually said, "Big Boys Don't Cry. Big Boys Don't Cry. Big Boys Don't Cry." Maybe the reason it sounds like "Big Poiston Qui." is probably because the woman is whispering. My question is, did the woman whisper these lyrics in a British Accent? Is that why the whispered lyrics are commonly misheard? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 When I listened to the song, "Proud Mary" by CCR, here's what I thought I heard John Fogerty Say. "Big Wheel Keep on Toinin. Crown Merra Keep On Boinin. Goalit, Goalit, Goalit on a rilva!" When in reality, the lyrics are, "Big wheel Keep on Turnin'. Proud Mary Keep on Burnin'. Rollin', Rollin', Rollin' on the River!" :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 CCR are the best for misheard lyrics... I wondered what "toining" meant too. Here´s a site: go to www.keno.org, then click on "classic rock" and in the bottom click on "new misheard lyrics". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana): from the radio "Load up on gum , bring your friends, it's hard to chew and to pretend..." (load up on guns, bring your friends, it's hard to choose and to pretend ) "Here we are now, rearrange us..." (entertain us) "In an aisle, in an aisle ...."

audioslave Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 From Layla "What'll you do when you get lonely" -- I really thought it was "what'll you do when you drink your coffe" -- my husband made fun of me for that because I drink about 10 pots a day. My brother-in-law had the funniest one though - he thought the REM line "this one goes out to the one I left behind" was actually "this one goes out to the one I BLEFT' - when reminded there was no such word he said they make up words all the time - he will still argue this line.

Brad_M Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 In the Carly Simon song "You're So Vain", I used to hear "clowns in my coffee, clowns in my coffee" instead of: I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and you're so vain...

Tyrion Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Yeah, you see, there was this commercial that had come on a year ago. The commericial was about birth control, and had various young women dancing about. The song playing, I'm not sure of it's official title now, but it went "There she goes, there she goes again..." Subconciously, everytime it came on I heard it as "There she blows, there she blows again..." For a few weeks, I had heard the song as that and knew the commercial was about female birth control, but never put the two together. When I did...hehe...

Shawna Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 alas... another overlooked thread... at least for a month. I have to throw in my misheard lyrics... The Corrs' "Go on and leave me breathless" I always thought said, "Go on and leave me breakfast." And I figured, just like a guy... Also - more recently, Maroon 5's Harder to Breathe" gets bleeped out when he says "Not fit to funkin' tread the ground that I am walking on" because so many radio stations think they're saying... well... something besides "funkin'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielj Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Blind Melon's 2X4 I heard "oh I want to fell her hair" but it is really "Oh What A Feeling" And another blind melon one is From Galaxie I heard "Holding Hash on my every day" They wrote "Hold it high, show me everything" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 In the Weezer song "Hash Pipe" when the singer sings "I've got my hash pipe" it sounds like he's saying "I've got my ass wiped" In the Elton John Song "Dirty Little Girl," Elton sings "I'll bet she, she hasn't had a bath in a year" and I thought he was saying "I'm b*tchy, see I haven't had a bath in a year."
