Misheard Green Day Lyrics

Recommended Posts

In Westbound Sign, the first verse used to sound like

"Blah blah, bla bla bla bla bla bla-ah

blah blah blah bla bla blah blah blah blah

blah blah bla blah blah blah bla bla, westbound sign"

to me.

It is! :D

In Jesus of Suburbia, I thought it was "I'd rather god be in the bathroom stall," instead of "I'd read the graffitti in the bathroom stall," and I was like wtf is that supposed to even mean?

That's a terrifying mental image!

I thought it was that for the longest time (years, in fact), and just assumed it was some sort of metaphor for the protagonist wishing that God was a more accessible being/concept. The idea of finding God in a bathroom stall instead of in a church always cracked me up (and it still does, even though I know the real lyric now).

That actually works really well as a lyric, it's a shame that's not it. To be honest the image in my head was of god struggling to have a poo...

What is it with that song? For ages I thought the opening line was "I'm the son of Rachel Love" and decided that was Whatsername's real name.

It took me until 15 damn minutes ago to realise Welcome To Paradise doesn't contain the line "Another orchard slaps a lap dance on his arm."

:mellow:

A bit like Stuck With Me:

'AOIGJ;RLGJ'jfjdkegijw EIFNEGLW'G KFWefpiwmpf and it's alright!'

I remember I thought in "one of my lies" that he said "it was a tragic case of marijuana tears" instead of "it was a tragic case of my reality"

In Basket Case I used to think the lyrics "Am I just paranoid?I'm just stoned" was "Am I just paranoid? In a way!".

I have a classmate who, in Minority, sings "You are your own sight!" instead of "You're on your own side!" It actually works pretty fucking well.

Pretty sure that's what it actually says...

Every time I Google it I get conflicting results, and I don't have the lyrics booklet. So maybe I'm the one mishearing it. :P

The booklet says sight. Pretty sure that's what I'm hearing as well.

Sometimes our misheard lyrics seem to make more sense than the original ones....
