:P my sister understood; 'chocolate cake and lemon drink' instead of 'shoplifter you'll never learn' :woot:

On Holiday I thought it was "To find, the moneys on the homoside" But its "The moneys, on the other side" lol

haha, I thought 'to find, the moneys on the world outside' :lol:

..oh and yeah, at the end of holiday, where billie says 'this is our lives on holiday' I thought he said 'It saves our lives on holiday' :ermm:

I used to think that song by justin timberlake "Cry me a river", It was "Gimme' Your Liver!" heh. My whole family thought that.

I also thought that it was "Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken Gnomes" in "Welcome to Paradise"

When I was younger, and when I used to live in America, I always listened to The Clash, but their accent was so funny that I couldn't understand it probally, so in the song 1977 I used to go "So you wanna feed Bee's at the ABC, So you wanna be a freak like mee!!!" up until I moved to London, I finally relised that ABC wasn't very punk :lol:

In the Nirvana Song "Smells Like Teen Spirt" I couldn't understand jack shit. so I used to just mumble.

and....I once was walking to my science class, and I just walked infront of my boyfriend and all I heard was "Blow job!" when he was talking to my friend Solomin, I was like "What the fuck?" and then it turned out he was talking about a car paint job XD it was so funny.

and once when I was hanging out with my friend, he was singing the lyrics to Homecoming, and he said "My name is st. Jimmy and I'm a son of a -" and he pointed at me as a joke to say the next lyric, and he was meaning for me to say "Gun" but for some reason All I could say was God! I really, really, tried to stop myself but it didn't work out. He was like "UGHHHH!" it was so funny.

you know what annoys me? when peolpe sing Blvd of Broken Dreams and the first part it goes "it's home to me and i walk alone" but they sing it like "it's only me and i walk alone." gosh it's so annoying.

in Hoilday, i thought it was "to find the money in the homoside" insted of "the money on the other side."

^^ Haha, that one's funny.

I have a lot, but the one I'm remembering right now is from Waiting. For the longest time I thought it was "Dumptruck, callin' me stupid." when really it's "Dumbstruck, color me stupid." :pinch: lol, I still sing it my way though... old habbits die hard.

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.

haha, I heard ''Well maybe I'm the fuck got America''

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! :D

Same I like Fall Out Boy (not as much as GD of course) but their lyrics can be hard to make out at times. Especially in Sugar we're going down which is a good melody but has the strangest words ever! I mean "Loaded God Complex" - WTF?

As for GD songs, in JOS, when he says "And Mary Jane to keep me insane" I thought he said "Then I married Jane to keep me insane" - I was like, who the fuck is Jane?

This happened years ago but I still remember it because it was so funny.

There's an INXS song that says "I'll make wine from your tears." A friend thought it was, "I'll make wide balmy tears." WTF are wide balmy tears? :huh:

in the song 'hold on' from warning, i could never hear billie right, and i thought he was singing: "with my eggroll dreaming", when really it's "with my conscience beating".

in the song all star by smashmouth, i always thought they were singing "i ate the sharpest tool in the shed". really it's "i ain't the sharpest tool in the shed"... i didn't learn that until last month lol.

my mom told me that there was this song that came out, and everybody thought it was so profound, and it was called "Freak Out in the Garden". she was like "WTF???" until it turned out it was called "Reach Out in the Darkness".

in King For A Day I thought it said "King for a day! I've changed my mind" or "I've changed some lives" then I found out he said "Princess by dawn" VERY different

instead of

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

i was like "who's rachel???" :lol:

I did the same thing on both of those. XD

In Warning, I thought he said "Gosh Darn Policeman you better not toss!" instead of "Caution: Police line you better not cross!"

It all makes sense now...
