Song Lyrics You Misheard / Misunderstood

[stxrlesseyes]

While listening to Metallica's cover of Die, Die My Darling I thought he said "Don't cry tomato baby" when it actually is "Don't to me oh baby"

[Tashidge]

I was listening to Rotting [y'know, the Green Day song] today and instead of hearing "tumours in my head", I heard "tubas in my head" o_O

[lovelyrita]

OMG I've just discovered I've always thought that in RHCP song 'Dani California' is black banana, sweet Louisiana instead of black bandanna, sweet Louisiana. :lol: LMFAO

[Pati.]

lolol black banana.

In the Snow (Hey Oh) song by RHCP I thought he sang ''Deep beneath the cover of a another perfect wonder when it's so while it snows'' instead of ''where it's so white as snow.''

[S.cattered]

Another stupid one; when I first listened to The Sharpest Lives by MCR, when it says "So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes" I heard "So why don't you blow me or kiss me on the nose". I was like wtf?

I'm gonna think that next time I listen to that song.

The Prince song Get On The Boat, has the lyric "What's the harm in listening to the humble words we say?"

One day, for some reason, I heard the lyrics as "What's the harm in listening to the hobbo words we say?" I was like I think I did a double take. hahaha.

In "Waiting" when Billie sings "Feeling, on the tip of my tongue" I thought he said something about keeping a towel on (when we all know it should be off ). I finally looked up the real lyrics about a week ago. xD I always mishear lyrics, and then once I learn the real words, it's hard to get it right because I'm so used to singing what I had originally heard. :/

your avi is freakin hilarious.

lol in the song Jaded, which i love, I thought when I first heard it the lyrics were...well, honestly I couldn't tell what the lyrics were:

"Somebody keep my bounce

I think i wanna naaahuhh"

and that in the song "Big Yellow Taxi" the line is "put up a parking lot" but I always thought the dude was saying "pull up a fuckin la.." and i was so confused and wondering why it wasnt bleeped out on the radio.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

...wtf? I was listening to the radio, not actively or anything, just for background music, and I swear I heard the lyrics "Billie uses lavatory"

I don't know what song it was or anything, but I'm fairly sure that those aren't the real lyrics.

[colour_me_stupid_]

I remember when I was 12 or 13, I used to think the line from Jaded "Going straight will get you nowhere" meant that Billie was gay :lol:

Omg

[redbloodedmannequin]

I think it was Jackson 5's 'I Want You Back', that I misheard something.(Actually, there are a bunch of other songs that I've misheard, but I can't remember them at the moment. )

'Tear-stains on the ground' I thought he said, 'Pit-stains on the ground'

I was like, "Ugh! Wtf?"

[Banan]

In Mother Mary, i thought they said "as long as sweden sticks together" instead of "as long as we will stick together" And i was so mad, because i wanted them to sing about norway too!

and in The Grouch ..

I heard: I was a young boy in acting class

real lyrics: I was a young boy that had big plans.

and i keep saying The Grudge instead of The Grouch!

[newsflash777]

Haha, my friend thought that it was "Dumptruck, color me stupid" instead of "Dumbstruck, color me stupid"

I laughed.

[Jinjonator]

Haha, my friend thought that it was "Dumptruck, color me stupid" instead of "Dumbstruck, color me stupid"

I laughed.

I always thought that too. I was like, "Wait, that doesn't make sense..."

EDIT: Actually, I thought it said "Dumptruck, calling me stupid", which is even weirder XD.

[Penguin Puffball]

Actually, I thought it said "Dumptruck, calling me stupid", which is even weirder XD.

That's hilarious

[RebelAmongSaints]

Was out walking with my ipod the other day and I heard "Your slug is a can of fire" instead of the usual "Your slogans a gun for hire" in Viva La Gloria. I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized it and started laughing loudly in the middle of the street.

[Punk Rock Love]

In Longview, "When masturbation's lost its fun you're fucking _____."

breaking? What does he say here?

[Yussef]

In Longview, "When masturbation's lost its fun you're fucking _____."

breaking? What does he say here?

Lonely.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Haha, it says "You're fucking breaking" on GDA. wtf?

[Maddy.]

I still can't believe that people think it's 'breaking' instead of 'lonely'

[Princess Consuela]

^WTF I always sing 'breaking'

[Mrs. Nobody]

... lonely doesn't sound like breaking

When i first heard KFAD live in Biab, i understood ''always look on the backside of life', i was like 'i like the way you've changed that.. ohh you haven't? oops'. xD

[Princess Consuela]

... lonely doesn't sound like breaking

True, but it's Billie singing

I listened to that part more carefully and yeah, you can definitely hear 'lonely' instead of 'breaking'. So how come people confuse it?

[Mrs. Nobody]

I've listened to it trying to hear breaking, but i keep hearing the 'lo..' and then the guitars come in.

Aye, he isn't the clearest of singers

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

I used to hear something else instead of lonely, but it wasn't breaking. Can't remember what.

It happens far more often that I can't even make out anything of what he's saying, nothing, not even wrong words, only syllables that don't string together to words. Or things like haaeeuaahooooo.
