Misheard Green Day Lyrics

On Having A Blast, I thought Billie said "Chicken" instead of "Taking"

This is my 6 year old son.

406285304.jpg

His name is Sawyer.

His misheard lyric comes at the beginning of "Missing You" on Tre. He swears Billie is calling his name "Sawyerrrrr!" after the first opening three chords. Whenever the song comes on in my car and he's in the back seat and hears Billie say it, he now raises his arms in victory and says "YESSS!" He also says it's his song because when I pick him up from school, I tell him I missed him today.

After the concerts last week he asked, "Did they play the "Sawyer Song" and "Did you ask Billie Joe if he's really saying his name?" I didn't have the heart to say, "y'know, buddy, I don't think he's saying your name". I'll just stick to the real truth which was, "No, I didn't get a chance to ask him. He was too busy singing".

Oh yeah, and I think I mentioned this before but he likes to request "It's FUN time" from the Dos CD. That's another misheard lyric I don't have the heart to tell him about.

Here he is at age 2 singing the beginning of "Letterbomb"

oh my god the video is adorable!

anyway... in All the time, during "Heirlooms and huffing fumes, and I'm picking up the pace"

I hear "air lubes .... pubes" I don't even know man

I can't be the only one hearing pubes in that line

In Nuclear Family I've always thought Billie Joe said "I just want a smack so give me Mike Dirnt" instead of "I just want some action so give my turn" , and I still like my version better :D

And in Murder City I used to hear "This demonstration of our English" and I was unable to figure out it was actually "anguish" ^^

If it wasn't for the title I would think blood, sex and booze was blood, sex and boobs.

That still works :eyebrows:

Lady Cobra:

"Reeks like hair-loss in temptations riding on my inner demons, I don't want a suicide I don't want a pistol whip".

I knew those weren't the lyrics but for a while it was my best guess lol

I still don't know what the opening line is to Stray Heart

"I lost my whale baby, this Stray Heart"

I thought the intro to Having A Blast was

"Checkin'"

It's "I lost my way oh baby, this stray heart". XD

American Idiot - and can't you hear the sound of the stereo" when it was hysteria

Ashley - I don't know lyrics very well since I haven't listed to this one that often, but there's a part where I always think he says "Michael Jordan"

Stop when the red lights flash - "I'll make sure right now" when it actually says "I'll make you surrender"

My generation "Well people try "PUTAS" (spanish word of whores) when he actually says "Well people try to put us down"

Who wrote holden cauldfield? - "It's news that I forgot" and he really says "New that I for thought" later in the same song "and it sure is driviiiiiiiing: or mumbles, but the official lyrics says "and it sure does drive me mad" but still I don't really listen that

Bab's Uvula who? No commentaries I simple can't understand what he's saying there unless I read the lyrics.

Stay the Night - " I wanna break your heart until it makes the sun return" and he actually says "Until it makes your stomach turn"

She - "Are you feeling like a sexual tool without a use" and it says "are you feeling like social tool without a use"

Rusty James - "Fucking knives and Rusty James" when it says "Pocket knives and rusty chains"

He is saying my cold shoulder. It got me for the first few listens.

I always get fulled by the part in Wild one where the lyrics are "She gave up on Jesus, for living on venus". Almost every time I hear it I think he is saying "gave up on penis, living on peanuts" . Before I looked at the lyrics I was confused on how that actually related to anything.

I always thought in "She" he was singing "I'm taking E's just for you"....taking heed makes more sense. I find it really hard to make out the words in that song though.

Missing you-

"I get so hard when I'm missing you"

The real lyric was: "it gets so hard when I'm missing you"

:lol: damn my mind

In Uptight where he sings: 'Peaked, peaked out on reaching new lows...' I used to think it said: 'Pete, Pete got on re-gender loans' :L Whatever a re-gender loan is anyway... ;)

I don't think I'll ever hear everything right in Jaded...all I hear in the first line is; "Somebody take my pants I think I'm falling off." :lol:

EARL, it’s really not worth the fight...."

In Welcome to Paradise, I used to sing:

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some come with guns
Some come with knives

For the longest time I thought it was "I'll take it in just for you".

I've also got two pretty embarrassing one's from St.Jimmy:

I heard 'Suicide commando that your momma talked about' as 'Since I caught men erect your momma talked about' and also 'I am the son of a bitch, an Edgar Allen Poe' as 'I am the son of a bitch, a nigger and a Pole' :/

I always thought that instead of "G-L-O-R-I-A" at the end of Horseshoes and Handgrenades it was "do you know who I am?"

When I first heard Jesus of Suburbia, I was really convinced there was a section about cats. Something along the lines of, "I have a cat, if you don't. I have a cat, if you don't. I have a cat, if you don't cat. I like cats."

And I'm pretty sure I still don't sing any of the correct lyrics for American Idiot, haha.

LOL... This is honestly my favourite one from the whole thread!

i'm still not over the fact that favorite son apparently says "pretty but it's sad" and not "pretty bloody sad" :mad::mad::mad:

What? Seriously? !!!!!!!!!!!!! It is bloody, right? I always thought the line was "on a panty raid" instead of "on a bed you laid". WHOA.

In Wild One: I hear "I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, I jumped on Mitt Romney" instead of "I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, I jumped on the grenade" lol kinda wierd , but funny .

In Minority I know he says "She screamed onto me", but I still listen "She screamed under me".

In Nuclear Family on the countdown I hear Seeahh! instead of Seven.

In Walk Away I hear "This time I gotta put my gun down" instead of "This time I gotta put my guard down"

In Let Yourself Go: I hear "You're really teasing my patience again And my brother gets punched in the face" instead of "You're really testing my patience again And I'd rather get punched in the face".

That's it so far. I'll see if I can remember others.
