TheLizard 1 Report post Posted September 30, 2007 I had a problem with that one too. At first it sounded to me like "That devil in the freezer aisle". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenny 2 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 In the song "Italian Restaurant" by Billy Joel, when he starts singing "Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies....", because of his accent (he says "Brender"), I heard it as "Thunder and Eddie". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miamisammy29 4 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 That's that New Yawk/Jarsey/Boston/British accent that adds an "r" to such words and removes the "r" from words such as "car"/(cah). I used to think he said, "Brenda Renetti was still going steady..."(etc etc etc, blar blar blar, yadar yadar yadar). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anonymouse 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2007 I remember when the song Hold My Hand by Hootie & the Blowfish was popular on the radio, and I can also remember wondering why it would matter what the "bear said". Real lyrics: I wanna love you the best that--the best that I can. I heard: I wanna love you...the bear said--the bear said I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jill 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2007 In England Dan and John Ford Coley's "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight", I always heard "I'm not talkin' 'bout the linens/and I don't want to change your life" instead of "I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mars88 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 I always wondered what Kim Mitchell was saying on this one song. To me it sounded like he was saying "flea brain"; but I looked it up and the song is Alana Loves Me, and he is saying "be brave". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLizard 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 "Shoot To Thrill" has been one of my favorite AC/DC songs for a while, since it's the song that introduced me to AC/DC a long time ago, but I didn't figure out until today that he's saying "'Cause I'm illegal, I've got everything all you women might need to know". I thought it was "Just like a negro".... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim in Pa 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) While working in a recording studio, we did alot of demos for cover bands, and I have heard so many mis-interps of lyrics, I could never begin to recall them all. But heres a few that come to mind: Steppinwolf "Born to be wild" - Get your motor runnin, head out on the highway. Sung as- " Hitchen on a runnin, dead out on the highway " Stones "Jumpin jack flash" - I was born inna crossfire hurrican. Sung as- " I was born in the trash by her train" There are many others. Lotta laughs. Jim Edited February 17, 2008 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mars88 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 I have just entered a new level of uncool as far as my teenage daughter is concerned. She has had Britney Spear's new song on repeat for the past few days, so I asked her about the song "Operator"...Mom, it's "Radar!" I got a full eye roll with that one. I then mentioned it to my husband and he said..."Gee, I thought she was saying Humpinator"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
