Song Lyrics You Misheard / Misunderstood

[ChemicEmotions]

Ehm, isn't those the lyrics?

Oh no, it's YOUR RUNNING out of gas... or at least says so att greendayauthority.com but that wasn't a huge different, was it? It makes just as much sense both ways..

I thought it was "Nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast". o.o

[rizuchan]

my friend thought he sung "jimmysays it's better than air

I always thought that, too. What else...

Like most everyone else, I misheard lyrics in "The Grouch". I thought "Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals" was "Wasted youth and a fistful of vitals" like, vital organs. I thought, 'ouch...'

Hitchin' a Ride, with "I'm off the wagon and i'm hitchin' a ride" I thought was "I'm up a wang and i'm hitchin' a ride" o.O

And when I first had my friend listen to Insomniac and she was reading the track listing, she thought "Walking Contradiction" said "Walking Contraception"

[farley drexel hatcher]

When i first heard The Grouch i mistook the line "Wasted youth and a fistful of ideas" as "Waste youth and a fistful of Vi pills". Seriously....and the only Vi pills i could think of were viagra. Which actually goes with the song if you think about it, but....yeah.

[darkhriss]

In HIM's song ,, The Path'' he sings ,,All angels grieve with an envious song'' and I thought he says ,,All angels sing an indian song''

[blc]

Panic! at the disco - lying is the...

the "So testosterone boys and harlequin girls" bit

I thought it went "so disaster with boys and hard luck with girls.."

[M.J.]

In Hitchin' A Ride, I thought he said "There's a child at the fountain of youth"

And in The Grouch when he said "Glory days don't mean shit to me" I thought he'd said something about cheese fries. no idea.

[A Girl Called Kill x3]

in give me novacaine

when he says Jimmy says it better than here

i thought it was jimmy says its better than an ear

I thought it was, "Jimmy says it's better then air." Haha.

and, in Misty Mountain Hop by Led Zeppelin they say, "Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said, 'Hey, Boy, do you wanna score' "

I thought it was.... "Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their head set, hey boy, do you wanna soar?"

[The Flunkie Only Along For The Ride]

i luv this thread

in bon jovi's old song "bed of roses," it says "& lay u down...in a bed of roses"

i thot it said "& may u drown....in a bed of roses"

i NEW that wasn't rite....but that's what i heard haha

[M.J.]

Argh! This keeps happening to me and I'm always so embarrassed afterwards...

I just looked up the lyrics to "The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars because I staple the lyrics to songs that I like on my wall.

When he says "Bury me! Bury me!" I'd been thinking AND singing, "Marry me! Marry me!"

fuck.

[Pixiegirl]

Well I can't understand a word Fall Out Boy says in their shitty songs.

I like their songs - their album is good. If you can't understand what Pat S is singing, just read the lyrics. That's what I did. It's what I do if I'm not sure of the words - it's not difficult.

But yeah, I know what you mean. I get the lyrics wrong sometimes, can't think of any specific examples, but it's happened! lol!

[Mikey - The Original Superstar]

In Muse's new song i don't think Matt is actually saying real words, i think he's just making random high pitched sounds

[darkhriss]

[PurpleHex]

In Spanish Bombs by the Clash

(THIS IS BOTH FUNNY AND EMBARRASSING)

i know the words were wrong, im thinking, i think it sounds like this

The Clash lyrics: ''Oh ma corazon''

what i think it sounds like: '' Oh ma coloured thong''

My friend thought that in Shes A Rebel, Billie said shes assualt on the earth, till I told her the real lyrics.

[mayday01]

^ thats what i heard too

[.:Tammy:.]

Heh, in Miss Murder I knew that it was "Hey Miss Murder, can I?" But it still sounded like "Hey Miss Merraca" for a while.

[your_name]

^ thats what i heard too

well Billie just mumbles all the time so its hard to tell

In the Beatles song Lovely Rita(I'm not sure if its called that) I used to think it said lovely rita rita man!, but my mom told me it was lovely rita meter maid....those british are hard to understand sometimes

[nicoleah]

I've heard worse. American Idoit was quite clear though.

[your_name]

way clearer than Kerplunk and 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours......I had to get the lyrics......

[nicoleah]

For The Ramones Bliztkrieg Bop, I really messed up the lyrics. I thought they said "They're bumming in a straight line" "the kids are in the land mines". They really say "They'e forming in a straight line" "the kids are losing their minds"

[Austyn]

For The Ramones Bliztkrieg Bop, I really messed up the lyrics. I thought they said "the kids are in the land mines". They really say "the kids are losing their minds"

I thought they said that too. Joey Ramone's voice is pretty hard to make out sometimes.

[greenday44]

well, for when I come around, the words are kinda meshed together, and I believed and still do, at beginning, he SUPPOSEDLY is supposed to be saying:

"I heard you crying loud, all the way across town"

But everytime I listen, it seems like this:

"I heard you crying loud, all the way I could(or I'd) hear the sound"

Is it just me, or what?? But doesn't the across town part seem totally wrong to anyone else?

And in minority, I though he was saying "YOU WILL YOU WILL SEE" instead of "YOU ARE YOUR OWN SITE"

And in scattered, I heard something totally different in th chorus, but can't remember what it was anymore... but I know it was way off...

And in worry rock, I heard "I'm knocked down dragger to find, _______ of open wounds" even though its actually "A knocked down dragged out fight Fat lips and open wounds"

But I think mine sounds better still with the fat lips part added...

And other mistakes were just minor ones such as in favourite son, I heard "But isn't it a drag? Its pretty but its sad" and its actually "But isn't it a drag? It's pretty bloody sad"

etc. etc. For green day songs

Songs from other bands I can't really remember, but I've made a lot of errors with countless song/bands

[iluvgdlikecrazy]

the first time i heard are we the waiting i understood

"rachel love...the story of my life"

instead of

"rage and love...the story of my life"

i was like "whos rachel???"

[belinda jane]

When I first heard American Idiot I thought it was,

"Well maybe I'm the fuck head America".

Instead of,

"Well maybe I'm the faggot America".

I felt like a complete tool when I actually read the lyrics.
