Misheard Lyrics

<< < (3/11) > >>

est:
Some personal ones from high school years:

For Jane's Addiction's "Three Days" I thought that the lyrics were "you're a dead jesus" instead of "erotic Jesus".

For Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" I thought that the chorus was "Jeremy smoked in class today" instead of "spoke".

One I've seen on the web that was completely crackpot:

In Fiona Apple's "Not about love" I read someone try to put forward something really lame about last's night's music being "sick with phat basses" instead of "last night's phrases sick with lack of basis"

This was on a fan board, too.  I can't understand how the person thought that Fiona Apple would write lyrics like he suggested.  I understand that it could have been a troll, but it didn't seem like one at all.

MajinTrunkz:
When I was really young, I used to think the lyrics to "Yellow Submarine" were "We are all jealous of Marie."  Of course, I didn't know what the title of the song was then.

Scytale:

--- Quote from: Scandanavian War Machine ---

and the In Flames song "Lunar Strain" where he says "all across the galaxy life suffers defeat" but he says it really quickly and weird and i always thought it was "all across the galaxy life fucking fades" or "life starts to fade"


--- End quote ---


Huh all this time I sought he was saying "Life Stops with me" lol my copy of LS doesnt have any lyrics in the linear notes.

Another one for me is All along the watchtower, I used to think Dylan was singing "Mrs Medway drink my wine" instead of "Bussinessmen they drink my wine".

backstagebetty:
When the album Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morrisette came out, I was about 14 years old. In the song You Oughtta Know, I though she said "It's not fair to remind me of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me." I figured the guy in question had given her some sort of cross-eyed stuffed animal that he had perhaps won at a fair (my mind wanders). Turns out she said "the cross I bear". I was 14 and I didn't know what a "cross to bear" was. My dad had a good laugh at my expense and then proceeded to tell everyone he knew. He still brings it up.

TrueNeutral:
In Pearl Jam's "Alive", I always thought the line "Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked" was "Sorry you didn't see him, but he played guitar".
