Misheard lyrics: share!

[CrackerMessiah]

A while back, a friend of mine told me that he loved the Prodigy track "Breathe." I asked him why, and he told me that he thought it was hilarious that he heard the passage "Die, white boy, die" in the song.

Little did he know that the correct lyric was "come play my game."

Also, there's a Rush track called "Armor and Sword" on the new album that has a lyric passage that goes "flags are flown at the feet of a god unknown." I heard it as "...at the feet of a garden gnome."

This ever happen with you?

I had a female friend who confided that she used to think Journey's "Oh, Sherry" was about Voltron. As in...

Oh Sherry
How long?
VOLLLL-TRON!
VOLLLLLLL-TROOOOON!

I still LOL over it.

I just read a good article about Manfred man's "Blinded By the Light"...

On the Tool song Parabola, I always thought he was saying "this money" instead of "this body".

Here's one for the SoCal folks and some people who may be in the know:


If you want a car or truck/
pussy cow!
If you're tryin' to save a buck/
pussy cow!


Bonus points to the person who can quote the phrase that always opened his commercials.

I lived in San Diego for a couple years as a kid.

For a long time I thought Tom Jones was singing, in his popular dance track,

"Spy on me baby, you satellite...."

Which sounded really cool, you know, the suggestion that a woman's faculties are as sharp and perceptive as a satellite...

In fact, the lyrics read,

"Spy on me baby, use satellite..."

What a let down.

This is Cal Worthington and his dog, Spot. Yeah, that's the way I heard it as a kid, too. I don't know if he's even still alive...seems like decades since I've seen a commercial of his.

and i just thought this video was awesome....

but you can only watch the first 2 minutes. you have to cut it off after that because it runs out of funny

"This is Cal Worthington and his dog, Spot!"

That was almost brilliant. I love the presentation, but I was struggling at parts to even try and compare what he was typing and what Meshuggah was saying. But yeah- damn nice. That, and I'm closer to understanding why some call them "Math Metal."

You've got me on a search to find one that is better done and funnier than that. Two pages into the results for a query of "misheard lyrics" and I'm up a creek. Case in point. (Except for the part where it says "I know that you are Wong." That's B+ right there.)

Holy jeebus, that first video is great! But unfortunately it cut out a little past halfway into it.

The second one? "Kirk is ruling the world now." Great, great, great. But I do agree on the finite run of funny in that one.

Still though- that Pearl Jam one is great.

 

[Pink Spider]

They used to play this song all the fucking time where I used to work on the stores' piped in music system. A song called "Crazy For This Girl" by Evan & Jaron
There is one line in the song that the singer says
"She's got me thinking about her constantly"
But it sounds sooooo much like,
"She's got a dick in her mouth constantly"

Yeah, I think the first couple lines are believable but then it runs out of both sense and funny. Thought it was cool someone even made one for Meshuggah though.

Fall out boy.. hahahah

"Also into cats..." lol...

Just search for "Fall out boy" on Youtube and you'll find a shit load of "misheard" videos.

 

[Baseley09]

Peter Gabriel pissing on coons in the jungle from "Games without frontiers".

 

[Late]

These aren't misheard lyrics per se but years ago I was in this shitty nightclub, going to the bar and walked past the dj booth and overheard these two girls asking him to play Any men's "Real slim lady"

 

[Magician]

Mondo Grosso - Shinin'

The video gives the lyrics, but what I thought I heard originally was...

World of silence, creeping silent night.
World of softness, moving through this night.

...small example, basically I was way off on all of the lyrics.

 

[E=MC2]

Michael Jackson is the king of misheard lyrics. Anny are you OK? actually found out he said this 10 years later than when the song was originally released. in fact, 90% of his songs have this kind of shit in them. it couldn't be the nose.

 

[fenikso]

Zoing, the Seeds of Love
Not all of it's funny, but there are a few really great lines.

Pink Floyd's lyric "Everything is green and submarine" which I thought was "Everything is free of suffering."

Edit: Bloody hell, this is Ami Tajiri. I forgot to change over to my account. >_< This is the problem with having two N-G.com members on one computer.

 

[Mike Shagohod]

Well there's two older songs (I believe from the 70s) that when I was a kid I completely heard the lyrics wrong. I don't know either of the artists, but I know the titles of the songs and hell I got the titles wrong.

Bad Moon On The Rise
----------------------------

"Don't go out tonight, cause it's bound to take your life. Thereeeees a bad moon on the rise." > Actual Lyrics.

I heard "There's a bathroom on the right. And for like 20 years I kept wondering how a bathroom was going to take someone's life. WTF?

The other song is, She's Got The Way To Move Me

I heard the guy saying... "She's got the western movement." Didn't make sense but that's what I heard.

 

[Metal Slugnuts]

I don't know which shit emo band sings it, but the chorus goes:

Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't that good


But it totaly sounds like:

Thanks for the mammories
Even though they weren't that big

Okay kids, for those of you who haven't seen the SoCal legend, here is some classic Cal Worthington and his famous "Pussy Cow!":

Classic full commercial:

And yes, his character was the basis for Ted Danson's character in "Made in America"
