That Dude Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 What's the chorus to Rusty James? I got the free download with ticket purchase, and what I'm hearing is: When there's no one left around And you're the last gang in town And your heart can't even radiate When it doesn't even pound I thought it was radiate as well. But he's just stretching out "break". bre-e-ak. sounds a lot like radiate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Strummer Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Probably not a case of mistaken lyrics, but more so a case of "where the fuck does he sing THAT?!" lyrics. There's this blog post on the Stereo IQ section of the Huffington Post's website where the author goes through his top 10 favorite lyrics from ¡Uno!, and at #10 he had a set of lyrics SUPPOSEDLY from Troublemaker: "You wanted arts and crafts / How's this for arts and crafts? Wananana (sic)..." Ummmmm am I missing something here? I've listened to Troublemaker so many times in the past few days, and NOT ONCE did I hear ANYTHING resembling those lyrics. Can someone help me out with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestboundSign! Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Besides the Mike Dirnt in Nuclear Family I now always hear, I always thought the line "we can watch the stars until the sun begins to rise" in Stay the Night is "we can watch the SUNSET till the sun begins to rise". Haha, I kind of still like it better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart on a noose Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 In Rusty James I thought lyrics are 'your heart can't even radiate when it doesn't even pound' Then I figured he says 'break' which make much more sense of course. Still one of my favourites lines from Uno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry_robot Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 When I first heard Angel Blue I thought that the line was "You're just so fucking cute" and then I realised that it's "You're just a fucking kid" and song became less romantic.

Slave To The Network Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Well, there are a fuckload of them, but for now I'll say that I thought Billie was saying "broken bones" in Welcome to Paradise when he says "broken homes". Honestly, the majority of Green Day songs I don't really understand like half the lyrics and I've just never bothered to look them up. I still don't know what the hell the lyrics are to She. I'll just mention this one too because it's funny. I thought the line in Stay the Night was "I've got a nipple so repulsive that it burns" Then I realized it was "impulse". Until I figured that out I was just like what?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backyard Skulls Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I misheard "Getting off a binge" in Carpe Diem as "Getting off a bench" also in JOS "I never died for my sands in hell" instead of sins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mankat13 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Rusty James? Thought: "when your heart can't even beat when it doesn't even pound" Really: "when your heart can't even break when it doesn't even pound" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 When my brother first heard the chorus of Christian's Inferno, he thought the lyrics were as follows: "WOAH big shits in fairyworld" That tells you all you need to know about my brother.

The Grohl Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 For some reason I thought "Like the dog years of the day" from Oh Love was "Like the talkies of the day" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marrymebilliejoe Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 For the longest time I thought Billie was saying "I'm drugging up" in Basketcase instead of "I'm cracking up." xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzie55 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 When I first heard the grouch, I thought "the world owes me so fuck you" was "the world's a discipline view" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asa. Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 When I first listened to the live version of Kill the DJ at the Echoplex (on YouTube, through my iPhones speakers) I thought the chorus was "Someone kill Green Day, Shoot the fuckin DJ" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trecool90210 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Oh where to start where to start... haha. So many in Kerplunk! and 39/smooth because the lyrics didn't get refined too well. In "the Grouch" I thought it says "The worlds a missle fuck you"... And I don't know why but in "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield when i first Kerplunk! in the intro I heard, "Well it hasn't been the first time (correct), and he should have shot me there (idk either)" A lot in Insomniac too. Dookie's fine because they weren't focusing on making it feel dark with the lyrics at all, but in Insomniac he does alot of slurring with his voice. Trust me, you can't always be 100% sure about lyrics, especially when it comes from 39/smooth up to some songs in Warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTim Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 The problem with Insomniac is it sounds like Billie's vocals are buried underneath the music making it harder to hear what he's saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farley drexel hatcher Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 It's not a misheard lyric, but ever since I found out that Billie used to jokingly sing "I never made it as Robert De Niro" in 21CB instead of "I never made it as a working class hero" during sound check, that is now usually what I hear. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill_the_Lamp Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 In angel blue when Billie says Stop the presses cause I feel in time I thought he said Stop the presses cause I'm feeling tight. Pretty confused for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femme Gauche Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 In angel blue when Billie says Stop the presses cause I feel in time I thought he said Stop the presses cause I'm feeling tight. Pretty confused for a while... He says "stop the presses cause I'm killing time" In "Geek Stink Breath" I originally thought (and still hear it this way) that he was saying "my balls are spinning out of time" instead of "my pulse is beating out of time". I was like... what the fuck does that mean o_O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
