[ad001]

[~*~greenday_fan~*~]

lol - this thread has made me laugh so much.

I always sang some parts to the song Good Riddance(Time of Your Life) wrong

I know the correct lyrics now but i've been singing it for so long so wrong, i can't stop, its a habit now lol

There real lyrics were:

So make the best of this test

But i sang it like this:

So make the best of this task

Then later in the song, its like this:

Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

But i sang it like this:

Tattoos of memories and askin on trial

:laugh:

[Tre Kawii]

Geek stink breath-Wishy wonder fish in the gutter and I see which one gets filled first

[minority_jaded]

When I was younger, I had my own version on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. It's so pathetic, I didn't know a word of the song.

[SickOfMe]

My younger sister sings "She's a red bull" instead of "She's a rebel".

:laugh:

thats cute.

Convieniently, I can't remember any of the times that I have misheard lyrics, but I'll always remember when my step brother misheard the words to "Night Moves" by Bob Seger. Our whole family was on a road trip, and it was on the radio, and all of a sudden, he just starts singing "talkin' bout the night moose" Heehee

in desensitized instead of "clenching my teeth tight", for the longest time i thought it was "jemadiah died"

[Guest RhetoricalGrasshopper]

In that Backstreet Boys/ *NSYNC song where they're like "Una nochez", I thought they were saying "On an island." So I kept picturing sex on the beach. Until I found out like this year that I was wrong.

[CaesarSalad]

Whenever my brother sings Holiday and it comes to "another protester crosses the line" or whatever, he says something like "another sillouetter as closs the line" I'm like "Dude. That's not even English!"

But he still sings it that way.

[GoodRiddance107]

Once I thought during WMUSE, When Billie Joe says "Drenched in my pain again, becoming who we are", I thought he said "Drenched in my pain again, becoming a way out"

[cazima]

with wake me up when september ends i always thought it was drenched in my pain again we can't be who we are.

[nobody]

I do that all the time, lol. If I don't know the words, I just kinda mumble, and start singing loudly again once the words I do know kick back in.

This is a great site for misheard lyrics!

^ Search for Green Day.

I almost piss myself laughing everytime!

I misheard this from a System of a Down song:

Original lyrics:

My tapeworm tells me what to do! Pull the tapeworm outta your ass!

I was convinced they sang:

My gayporn tells me what to do. Pull the gayporn outta your ass!

:laugh:

And in desensitized:

Original:

Clenching my teeth tight,

I sang:

Jammay Tea died,

And in Having a blast I somehow made " I'm taking all you down with me"

to be " Chicken, all you're telling me"

Here's some of my favorite misheard Green Day lyrics from others:

Misheard Lyrics:

Can I get another woman? (A man!)

There's a fag wrapped around scores of men (Wow!)

A gag, a plastic bag on a monument.
