Misheard Green Day Lyrics

I thought that, too.

And for ages I was so sure that 'Bearing gifts, and trust' was 'Bearing gifts, and drugs'...

:mellow: it isn't drugs? fuck.

:o I didn't know this until I just read your post. Shocking.

And I actually sat down with the lyrics countless times before...! Sometimes you just read what you think there should be printed I guess.

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me. ;)

Meh, I'm going to stick with 'We are the class of, the class of thirteen!'. I've gotten so used to it by now.

I was actually completely wrong on that one --- I was getting confused with the demo version as opposed to the album version. In the demo it's 'We are the cries of, the class of,' but in the album version it's just 'We are the class of, the class of'.

My bad! A few members corrected me on that one when I first posted it, haha. :happy:

In Horseshoes and Hangrenades, I always thought it said "Oh, she's an angry mate" instead of "Horseshoes And Handgreandes" :lol:

That made me laugh so much :lol: I love this thread!

Just read the 21CB album booklet and looked at the lyrics for Viva La Gloria (Little Girl).

All this time Billie's been singing 'there is no place like home, when you've got no place to go'.

I thought the lyrics were 'there is no place to go when you've got no place to go' :huh:

I used to listen thinking well, duh, Billie Joe.

No prob...! After my previous post, I did listen to 21CB again, and I was like 'I still don't hear it...!'. Ha. :lol: So this explains a lot. :happy:

I had the demo version first too: the changes in lyrics still confuse me all the time... I still sing 'bleed America bleed' instead of 'scream' at the end.

I still can't hear the say birthday boys hey bit. When I found that out a month ago or however long ago it was I listened over and over and couldn't hear it properly. It just sounds like Billie groaning a bit and I think I hear 'one two' in there.

Playing Rock Band the other day I discovered loads that I sing wrong, I'll have to play it again and write down the ones I don't know cause I can't remember them now.

They used our "Know Your Enemy" misheard lyric for the banner!!!!!

I love having GDC inside jokes on the banner.

Ahaha.. I didn't get it until now...

I just thought...Okay, I guess they didn't know how to spell that random noise Billie makes so they replaced it with random words... :rolleyes:

:blink: He doesn't say "lights"? This thread makes me realize that I mishear a lot more than I thought... But I suppose "lies" makes more sense.

I had this one wrong too. Actually I haven't been trolling this thread lately. I wonder how many lyrics I've flubbed. Shit, I've seen more shows than most so this is pretty unreal.

I've been saying "eyes" as well. Probably still will.

Thats what I heard too :lol:

Haha. Nice one.

Just read the She lyrics. Instead of "Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?"

I always sang "How'd you like to be in a world that's being f***ed up on you?" :blink:

I still sing it, even though I know it's not right.

In 94, before it was so easy to just look up lyrics, I HAD NO IDEA what "feel like social tool with out a use" was so I literally just sang some sort of gibberish there for a decade or so. I think I used to say "feeling like a so so dog without a clue".

Knew it was wrong, but had to sing something, right? :lol:

I am convinced there is an Anchorman reference in Pulling Teeth (I know the song was released 10 years before the movie but still) I am convinced he says "I love Lamp"

In 21CB I thought "my town was blind from refinery sun" was "my town was blind from the firey sun."
