Misheard Green Day Lyrics

about ten minutes ago, I found out the lyrics to the grouch were "The world owes me so fuck you" not "The world's ugly so fuck you"

Not sure if this counts but everytime i search 99 Revolutions on youtube there's a suggestion saying "99 red balloons". I kept singing that instead of revolutions and it's quite entertaining :)

^That's just what the random person who posted it on that site thinks it is. The band's never put out official lyrics for it so any lyrics you find are just someone's guess.

Ahh, the old spinning/standing, puke/feet debate. Personally, I think it's "my head is spinning underneath my feet". However, listening now, the word "head" sounds very odd and I think even that could be something else. I don't think it's possible to solve this mystery.

of course when I go to listen to it to see for myself, I listen to all of desenstized before I realized I clicked the wrong song.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!! It's "My odor???fumes" I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! YES!!!

It is most definitely “my head is spinning underneath my feet”.

Although, it does sound kind of like “my hair is standing up, don’t need my feet”, but even BJ wouldn’t sing something that nonsensical....

No. When you listen to it loud, it's not head or feet.

I enjoyed singing "RAW HAM" very much when I saw Green Day last week. Thanks, this thread!

Don't forget this is Billie we're talking about, so the way he sings a word isn't necessarily gonna sound anything like how the word sounds :D. I still say it's "My head is spinning underneath my feet".

I always thought that in Letterbomb it was "where will all the mortars go" but its actually "where will all the martyrs go"

The first time I heard Homecoming I thought that the line went "I started fucking running as soon as my pizza drowned" and I thought it was really stupid so I checked it and felt stupid...

Whoa, been away from GDC for a while and just figured there's a new like button. Time to abuse the HELL outta it.

Anyway, since i just got the special edition of AI in the post yesterday (and for the first time owned a lyrics booklet for AI) i'm figuring out the correct lyrics to songs i've been listening to for YEARS and didn't know i had wrong.

From St. Jimmy: "I'm the resident weener of the lost and found."

From Extraodinary Girl: "He lacks the courage in his mind/Like a child left behind/Like a pig left in the rain."

And quite a few other ones.

For the longest time when Good Riddance first came out, and I was younger, I thought it was "It's something unpredictable, the indian was right". It kind of makes sense?

So pig is right after all? Funny, i have the special edition and it says "Like a pet left in the rain." Does the standard version's inlay not say that?

Standard version also says "Like a pet left in the rain". Which is funny cause i left my dogs out in the rain this morning.

When I was younger I used to think the lyrics to chump was 'I said but dad that doesn't make much sense' instead of 'a circumstance that doesn't make much sense'

For years I thought 'I'm just roaming for the moment, sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight' was "I'm just roaming for the moment sitting in my backyard with a tankard"

um

This is really stupid... when I would to listen to my dad play his GD records back in the day when I was a kid, right up until a few years ago I always thought the lyrics in chorus to Blood, Sex and Booze were "I'm in this dress" instead of I'm in distress... oops :sorry:
