Hermione Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 ...and people who pretend to dislike it but secretly listen to it nonstop under the covers. I like to think this is true 1 Quote
loveblondiebilliejoe Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) This thread has been the best learning experience of my life.? No, seriously though Edited September 24, 2014 by loveblondiebilliejoe 2 Quote
loveblondiebilliejoe Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Funny to think that a big portion of these misheard lyrics are from JoS. As a matter a fact, I have my own: "Like the lonely bitches of a shopping mall." It makes total sense too. 4 Quote
Popular Post LaughingClock Posted October 23, 2014 Author Popular Post Posted October 23, 2014 Holy Fuck I can't believe this thread is still kicking. Five years ago when I started it, I would have tried to been less stoned and came up with a better title. Ha It has brought me countless hours of laughter and I am about to go read through the latest. Haven't been on these forums in a while but hope everyone is well. I had a daughter and that has completely changed my life for the better. Be well Green Day peeps.Forgot to say, RawHam. 5 Quote

Popular Post BetterThanAir Posted October 29, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 29, 2014 My brother was (attempting) to sing Holiday this morning and sang, "Hear those sounds as they do cocaine" as opposed to 'Hear the sound of the falling rain." I thought my misheard lyrics were embarrassing... 7 Quote
Gemma182 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Green Day - Holiday When I first heard it: "Hear the sound of a polaroid" (haha) What it actually is: "Hear the sound of the falling rain" 4 Quote
BetterThanAir Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I've probably mentioned this one before too...but my username is an epic fail, since it's a misheard lyric. Fourteen year old me thought it was 'better than air' instead of 'better than here' in Give me Novacaine. 2 Quote

BetterThanAir Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I didn't know it was "better than here" until about two weeks ago, and I prefer "air" anyway. Thank you! Same here, to be honest. If the lyrics were actually 'better than air', it'd sound way better. It's still my favourite Green Day song though. :') 1 Quote

Whatsinaname Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 I'm listening to Mass Hysteria and I was about to post the lyrics on my Facebook page. I always thought the lyric was "bang bang this is not a test" but apparently it's "maybe". Either way Quote

I always thought the lyric was "bang bang this is not a test" but apparently it's "maybe". Either way it actually is "mayday" lol but you seriously made me think "is it bang-bang? did I ever sing that? it makes sense." 1 Quote
unextraordinarygirl Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 I mishear or dont understand a lot of Green Day's lyrics. I just sing it how I hear it. LOL Then I go on a lyric site and feel embarrassed. Quote
Whatsinaname Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 "Mayday" makes this song even better...Thank you! The lyrics' sites I read all said "maybe". Quote

Maid Meringue Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 I'm surprised at how inaccurate lyric websites are lately. They're so completely off on just about every song I've looked up lately. 2 Quote
armatage Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 I have to admit, at some point in my early adolescence I believed that in Last of the American Girls, Billie sings "she's an endless whore", even though the pronunciation of war and whore differs significantly. 1 Quote
That Dude Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 For some reason in Wake me up when September Ends, it always sounds like he is saying "walling from the stars" instead of "falling". I know what the lyrics are, but listen to it. Especially live versions. Quote

I know what the lyrics are, but listen to it. Especially live versions. Yeah, you're right about it sounding different. I've always noticed. But it never really made me confused or anything. Just remembered what I used to mishear in WMUWSE, in the second or third verse... where it goes, "ring out the bells again, like we did when spring began". When I was 12, I thought it was "like we did then screams began" no idea why Quote
unextraordinarygirl Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Green Day - Holiday When I first heard it: "Hear the sound of a polaroid" (haha) LoL I still sing it that way. Especially on live versions. When I listen to BIAB I sing it that way. Haha *blush* Quote
sara_gd Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I didn't know at first if it was "the rain" or "Loraine" who was falling from the stars... 2 Quote
Libertine Angel Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 In the end of Homecoming, I thought the line "but to you and me, it's Jingletown, it's home" was "but you and me, this cheap old town is home". Quote
