Title: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: CheapJon on March 05, 2007, 03:37:53 PM found this site when i was surfing around a little, it was about how different people have misheard lyrics to songs and singing their versions and stuff and how they found out the right lyrics
and if we all were honest, we have all done that sang wrong lyrics, so if you remember when you yourself has corrected somebody or you have been corrected please post it, it's real funny. like one guy thought Paradise city went (copy paste thingie) "The real lyrics were: Turn me around and take me back to the start But I misheard them as: Don't be a rabbit, take me back to the start " another guy thought "take me down to a very nice city" so like i said if you have any experience of this please post, and yeah here is the site http://www.kissthisguy.com/ and if you find anything funny there post it here also.. yeah you guys get it ;) another funny one: marilyn manson - "the beautiful people" but the person sang "just gimme the meatball" :rofl: one person sang "where's my asian friend" the real lyrics are "what's my age again" from blink 182 one guy that right next door to hell was, "redneck go to hell" this next is from FreakShow at gnr2k.com Nine Inch Nails: Closer The real lyrics were: I want to f*ck you like an animal You get me closer to god But I misheard them as: I want a duck shaped like a triangle You give a toaster to Bob and to be fair, one of my own were: "trapped in america but where's my partner" but we all know it is "Capitain America's been torn apart now" please post your own or funny ones you find at that site :headbanger: Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 05, 2007, 03:45:05 PM Hendrix "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" was often mis-heard as "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."

Post by: Rocksteady on March 05, 2007, 05:20:43 PM I thought for a long time that the line in "Master of Puppets" is "Controlling faster" when in reality it's "Come crawling faster.
Oh and in Nirvana's "Verse Chorus Verse" I heard Kurt say "Feelings are outdated"(that sounds actually something like he would say) but the line is "Feeling so sedated" Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics?

Leave it be, it was meant for me ---> Leave the pee, it was meant for me There's innocence torn from its maker ---> His anus is torn from its maker What came and distorted your sight ---> Caveman distorted your sight Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 06, 2007, 04:08:44 PM The Days of the New song off their last album is called "Fighting With My Clay". I always thought Travis sang "Fighting with Brocolli". :hihi:
Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: DirtySanchez on March 19, 2007, 01:05:01 PM a friend of mine is the king of misheard lyrics. off the top of my head, a few of his good ones are:
"Rock the asphalt" for Rock the Casbah by the Clash "I'll never be your pizzas burnin" instead of "I'll never be your beast of burden" "I think I'm Tony Japanese" instead of "I think I'm turning Japanese" "I wanna rock n roll all night, and part of every day" i wish i could remember more, some are so far off from the real lyrics yet I somehow always know what song he's trying to sing Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: journey on June 28, 2007, 01:29:27 PM On the last line of the song, Groovin', I always thought he was saying, "Life would be ecstasy, you and me and Leslie". I just found out recently that it's "Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly".
Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: randy marsh on June 28, 2007, 02:29:33 PM I don't know why but when I was a kid I thought that in master of puppets james screams "make some pain!!" just before the solo but what he actually says is "fix me!!!" :hihi:

I heard GNR's version of Sympathy For The Devil first and instead of "pleased to meet you", I was hearing "they used to beat you" (especially later in the song when the music is louder). On Led Zeppelin's Trampled Under Foot, the line "good electric" kept sounding like "gooey left trigger" (:o) or something. And for some reason, the lyrics on my iPod read "groovy leather trim". I just copy and pasted from a lyric website... I believe Megadeth covered Anarchy In The UK by the Sex Pistols and the line "another council tenancy" becomes "and other cunt-like tendencies". And although I know the words are "cars are crashin' every night" in It's So Easy, I sometimes think it sounds like he's starting to sing "fuck off" instead of "cars are..." Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: freedom78 on June 28, 2007, 05:38:56 PM Opeth has tons of misheard lyrics... Leave it be, it was meant for me ---> Leave the pee, it was meant for me There's innocence torn from its maker ---> His anus is torn from its maker What came and distorted your sight ---> Caveman distorted your sight I'm betting there's a pretty high correlation between the use of death vocals and lyric misinterpretation. :hihi: Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: Skeletor on June 29, 2007, 12:56:21 AM I'm betting there's a pretty high correlation between the use of death vocals and lyric misinterpretation. :hihi: Haha, sure... But those were all clean vocals, though :) Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: Jackamo! on June 29, 2007, 09:55:09 AM Don't Cry:

Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: chineseroses on June 29, 2007, 11:13:59 AM "You can take the pity so far"
"You can take the biggest sofa" That was what I thought axl sang in You could be mine Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: Rockin' Rose on June 29, 2007, 11:29:56 AM Hendrix "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" was often mis-heard as "Excuse me while I kiss this guy." I have a live version where he does actually sing "Excuse me while I kiss that guy" For a long time I thought that Pet sematery by Ramones had the chorus go like "I don't want to be merry in a Pet Sematary" While it really goes "I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary" Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: Sparksry on June 29, 2007, 02:42:29 PM theres a new showon american TV coming on called the singing bee and its pretty much just like what we have talked about
Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: fuckin crazy on July 01, 2007, 11:33:49 AM I have a live version where he does actually sing "Excuse me while I kiss that guy" I would have to hear it to believe it, and I still don't think I would. I can't see what LSD has in common with homoeroticism. Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: Rocksteady on July 04, 2007, 07:53:01 AM "You can take the pity so far" I thought the same thing until I read this post...? "You can take the biggest sofa" That was what I thought axl sang in? You could be mine Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics?

Post by: LeftToDecay on July 04, 2007, 03:08:30 PM For about 5 years i misheard some of my favourite manson lyrics;
on song called coma white, I kept hearing "Just bleeding like a polaroid, lost on her dose" instead of "lost all her dolls", which it originally is. Song named Mechanical Animals i heard as "You were my mechanical bride a xeno-barbidoll, a manic queen of depression" while correct lyrics are "You were my mechanical bride You were phenobarbidoll A manniqueen of depression" (and yes i realize those are not fun in any way;) Also, when i was around 10 or so i thought Axl sings "I'll go to Africa" instead of "i'm a cold heartbreaker"on YCBM. And later on on the same song; "... an another reason to cry" sounded to me like "and americans cry" ..Which ofc made sense. With Axl going to Africa and all. I had the YCBM lyrics all figured out as you can see. 8) I think all of my misheard versions are by far better than the originals, including the Africa-thing :rant: :rant: Slightly offtopic but hey; My 2nd or 3rd gnr related product was a copied casette that consisted of like 50% of AFD and lacked any song titles. So i had to try to figure them out. I actually happened to find the casette some time ago, was good for laughs My version of my michelle was named "well well well", my Anything goes was "my way you way" and so on. I actually had managed to get rocket queen right, which i am ofc very proud of. :smoking: Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: mrlee on July 05, 2007, 07:01:48 AM well i just heard STP-meatplow
i hear the chorus bit as "ive got another man, and she shows me how" WTF lol that must be wrong. Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: gnrlies247 on July 05, 2007, 05:12:10 PM I thought for a long time that the line in "Master of? Puppets" is "Controlling faster" when in reality it's "Come crawling faster. Oh and in Nirvana's "Verse Chorus Verse" I heard Kurt say "Feelings are outdated"(that sounds actually something like he would say) but the line is "Feeling so sedated" Yeah thats what i thought until i downloaded triviums version and realised my mistake :hihi: Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: freedom78 on July 14, 2007, 11:22:18 PM You know...I never really thought these were the lyrics, but if I'm not paying attention I still hear them this way to this day:
"I used to love her, but I had tequila." Funny thing is, that lyric kind of makes sense. :hihi: Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: Rocksteady on July 18, 2007, 01:10:44 PM When talking about misheard GN'R lyrics I thought for some time that the line from 14 years was
But it's been 14 years of asylum It's been 14 years of pain Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: Communist China on July 18, 2007, 01:33:13 PM "You can take the pity so far" "You can take the biggest sofa" That was what I thought axl sang in? You could be mine Yeah I made that mistake too. Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: CheapJon on July 25, 2007, 07:15:35 AM i'll contribute with 2 of my own now
Stone Sour - Hell & Consequences correct lyrics is: if you don't want an enemy don't fuck with my life I heard: if you don't want an enemy don't fuck with my wife then a swedish song but i'll translate the part to english so you understand how weird it sounds if you'd sing it :hihi: Lillasyster - ber?tta det f?r lina correct lyrics: Stulen av en korp (means "stolen by a raven) I heard: Stulen av en korv (means "stolen by a sausage") Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: JMack on July 25, 2007, 08:52:55 AM On the last line of the song, Groovin', I always thought he was saying, "Life would be ecstasy, you and me and Leslie". I just found out recently that it's "Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly".? Nice... an old Young Rascals reference.Title: Re: Misheard Lyrics? Post by: JMack on July 25, 2007, 09:06:40 AM I heard a guy requesting a song on the radio and he kept asking for "Living in the Bronx" after awhile the D.J. said "By who?" and the guy said yeah by The Who.? It was Eminence Front he was looking for.
My daughter also thought Pearl Jam's Better Man that Eddie Vedder was singing "Can't find the butter Man".? She was 5 then and now 15 and I still bring it up to her and laugh about it.
