Misheard Green Day Lyrics


LaughingClock

Recommended Posts

I used to think that in American Idiot where he says "all across the alien nation" "was all across the area and nation" :P

Isn't it Alienation?

In my AI booklet it says "alienation" at least.

Also both in the Musical and RockBand it's "Media" in the first verse, but I hear "Mania", which is the same as in my booklet as well.

I'm confused, and have been for the past 3 or 4 years with this.

I've got a problem, I always say "so made the best of this test and don't ask why",

I always thought he was saying "make the best of this task," I thought that for ages :lol:

In KFAD, I only had the BIAB version at first so I never knew much of the lyrics. I always heard

"*indesipherable mumbles* right on!" for "princess by dawn."

thanks to the cast album, I thought for years that it was "the television's an extortionist" not the town's bishop in Letterbomb

"The television's an extortionist" is actually a better line in my opinion.

Ya i agree i always sing television instead of town bishop anyway :lol:

In Homecoming when he says "I started fucking running as soon as my feet touched ground" I always thought he said something about pizza. I can't remember exactly what I thought it was, but whenever I'd listen to that part I'd always think it never made sense. :lol:

I THOUGHT it said "i started fuckin right as soon as my pizzas browned" hahahaha thats gotta be the winner of "dumbest mis-heard lyric ever" fuck me man i can;t stop laughing... i forgot that thats what i thought it said... if that makes sense

I thought it was "Working man's insanity" instead of "working your insanity" in The Static Age.

in Tre's song Dominated Love Slave.

I thought it was: 'cause I love feeling nerdy and I love feeling cheap.

I'm a fail, I already knew that. hahahahaha

I can't remember what exactly i thought but i had a huge issue with mishearing everything in Misery, I was such a fail. I also had a few problems with St.Jimmy but my friend set me straight :lol:

Agreed. As much as I try, my ears refuse to hear "town bishop".

In Extraordinary Girl: "like a pig left in the rain" instead of "pet"

In She: "social dull" instead of "tool", "brink of self control" instead of "brick", and "I'm taking heat" instead of "heed"

In 27th. Ave. Shuffle: "if you call me Steven" instead of "living"...I always wondered what was so bad about that name.

And poor Sassafras Roots:

something something something

Wasting your time

blah blah blah

Wasting your time

mumble mumble mumble

Wasting your time

SMOKING CIGARETTES

Wasting your time :lol:

Oh my god I just burst out laughing at 'monkey shines.'

I was listening to 86 the other day and I swear it said 'Let the nuts swing past,' instead of 'Let the next one pass.' :lol:

That's what I always thought too. The cast album has made me realize how much I was messing up the lyrics. :lol:

Nope. It's "brick of self control".

haha...Billie really needs to learn how to enunciate better. It was the cast recording that made me realize it was "pet".

I guess we all owe that album a big thank you for helping us with lyrics. :D

someone posted here that in homecoming, he/she thought it was "after ten coups of coffe and BACON!"

When i read it, it made me laugh :)

so today, i was listening to homecoming again and when that part of the lyrics came on, i could totally

hear "bacon", too! i was suddenly laughing really hard because of that and everyone looked at me :dry:

I.. thought that it was "...Coffee and Bacon!!!" for six years until this was posted.... wow

Oh my god, i have misheard SO MANY lyrics! when i finally found out what they were i looked like such and idiot!! haha, here's some:

In East Jesus nowhere, at "like a dog thats been sodomized" i thought it was "like a dog thats beside a mudslide" lol!!!! ik, right? how do you screw that up?

At the end of hitchin a ride, i thought billie sang " i say yeah boy yeah" lol, i STILL don't what what the lyrics are.

yeah, and in extraordinary girl, until AI the Musical, i thought it was "BIRD" left in the rain, not pet .. .

I really messed up lettterbomb. i thought it was "there is nothin left in well eyes" in stead of "there is nothing left to analyze" until AI the Musical . THANK YOU REBECCA!!

Yes! For ages I thought those were the lyrics.

Same in When I Come Around 'you've been searching for that someone'

I always thought was 'Jimmy's searching for that someone'

In Minority where he sings; "For crying out loud,she screamed unto me", I thought he sang "screamed under me". A bit perverted.

You're not the only one there lol :D
