[poisonoak]

I heard that too

and the thing is ive been singing that line for weeks until i looked up the lyrics....oopsie

[Isabel]

I keep singing "Well love is gonna knock you down" instead of "Honor's gonna knock you down" in No Pride.

Years ago I used to think he was singing that and even now I still instinctively sing the wrong words

[YehItsRyan]

I used to think in Fury by Muse that Matt Bellamy sang, "You waste twenty years and end up like a broken man whore" but instead it is "You wait twenty years and wind up alone, demented"

[Penguin Puffball]

I always hear "When I walk in crowded rooms I feel like sniffing is my doom", "The Indian was right" and "Forever in debt to your slices of pie" thanks to this thread

Which song was it that you heard "forever in debt to your slices of pie"??

[Nmd]

In California Lovin',

my sister always used to sing "California - no doubt about it"

I had to tell her it was "California - knows how to party"

[Isabel]

"I'm a snot nosed slob without a job and now I don't give a shit" instead of "I'm a snot nosed slob without a job and I know I darn well should."

[Princess Consuela]

The song 'Venus' was on the radio and I totally heard 'I'm your penis, I'm your fire, at your desire' instead of 'I'm your Venus'

[alaniluau]

The song 'Venus' was on the radio and I totally heard 'I'm your penis, I'm your fire, at your desire' instead of 'I'm your Venus'

I always thought I heard that as well.

[Rosie May]

I keep singing "Well love is gonna knock you down" instead of "Honor's gonna knock you down" in No Pride.

Years ago I used to think he was singing that and even now I still instinctively sing the wrong words

I always thought it was "well it's gonna knock you down"

It's so hard to understand what he's saying in Insomniac, he's so mumbly in that album.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

I always thought it was "well it's gonna knock you down"

It's so hard to understand what he's saying in Insomniac, he's so mumbly in that album.

ahhhh yes! It's really that album that gives me hell with lyrics the most. It's not like I mishear things, I just honestly can't make anything out for a lot of the things, if I don't know the lyrics already. really only gibberish.

[Comedy & Tragedy]

Oh god, I looked up the words to First Date by Blink 182 the other day.

Instead of "I'm jealous of everybody in the room"

I heard "I'm just hot for everybody in the room"

And for "I dread the thought of our very first kiss. A target that I'm probably gonna miss"

I heard "I dreamt and thought of our very first kiss. I talked to dad, I'm probably gonna miss"

Which song was it that you heard "forever in debt to your slices of pie"??

It wasn't me, but thanks to whoever it was, I hear that every time

Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana. The words are "Forever in debt to your priceless advice"

[poisonoak]

the song Phonography by britney, i thought it was pornpgraphy i was like yes you go brit !!

[Adrii1039]

the first time i listened to Scattered I thought it was:

"I've got some scattered bitches lying on my bedroom floor..."

[alaniluau]

the first time i listened to Scattered I thought it was:

"I've got some scattered bitches lying on my bedroom floor..."

I've heard that sometimes too!

[VeronicaSawyer]

I'm usually pretty good with hearing Green Day lyrics, but I've had a few fuckups, for example...

Minority- "Stamped out of the line, like a shamrock from the hood."

Don't ask. I was like 12 when I thought that.

I couldn't understand most of Welcome To Paradise the first time I heard it. Especially the "pay attention to the cracked streets and broken homes part" it sounded so weird to me for some reason. I thought it said something about crackheads and gnomes.

And in King For A Day, my friend heard "Billie Joe in pantyhose" instead of "GI Joe in pantyhose."

Another band I often mishear lyrics with is AFI. Most of the misheard lyrics involve the word ass for some reason.. o.0

Malleus Malleficarum- "My ass is falling!"

Dancing Through Sunday- "I'm an asshole!"

[November's Storms]

In Basket Case I keep singing "about nothing and everything all I want" instead of "all at once"

And in Jaded I sing "always move forward, going sideways gets you nowhere" instead of "going straight". No idea why! I actually think it makes more sense though!

[Slappy.]

My friend said to me the other day that she thought the lyrics for basketcase were

"I think i'm pregnant!" instead of "I think I'm cracking up"

I laughed so hard

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

But "I think I'm pregnant" and "I think I'm cracking up" don't even sound alike!

meanwhile I still hear "don't break flies and empathize" in Suffocate even though by now I do know the actual lyrics ("drop like flies .."). Don't think I'll ever get that one out of my head.

[ConfirmPassword]

In Hold On:

Billie: When you lost all hope and excuses

And the cheapskates and the losers

I head it like: When you lost all hope and exuses

And the cheesecakes and the losers

[Slappy.]

In Hold On:

Billie: When you lost all hope and excuses

And the cheapskates and the losers

I head it like: When you lost all hope and exuses

And the cheesecakes and the losers

LOLLL cheesecake!?

But "I think I'm pregnant" and "I think I'm cracking up" don't even sound alike!

I know!!

[ConfirmPassword]

LOLLL cheesecake!?

Yeah I was like wtf???

[Kristina.]

I always hear in Macy's day parade " Give me something melody" instead "Give me something that I need "

I never realize,which version is the right one

And in "In the end" I usually hear something like "I hope I won't be there in the end cucumber round." instead "I hope I won't be there in the end

if you come around."

[Comedy & Tragedy]

In Hold On:

Billie: When you lost all hope and excuses

And the cheapskates and the losers

I head it like: When you lost all hope and exuses

And the cheesecakes and the losers

In all fairness, it does sound like cheesecakes

[Armstump]

I messed up with Poprocks and coke.

I heard: "You know I'll be there, I go in my underwear, So I see you there"

:')
