Misheard Green Day Lyrics

Only just noticed yesterday that in haushinka it's a "girl with a peculiar name" not a "girl with a freaky name" like I've always thought.

:lol: a girl with a freaky name would have been about ten times better.

Green Day - Holiday

When I first heard it:

"Hear the sound of a polaroid" (haha)

What it actually is:

"Hear the sound of the falling rain"

What? I'm not the only one? Thank god! I still sing it that way. LOL I almost hate to admit it but up until a few years ago I though the line in Basketcase was "I'm not paranoid I'm just dumb." LOL

It's actually:

Am I just paranoid?

Am I just stoned?

There are lots of lyrics that make more sense clear example is "better than air"....

I actually thought about this, but I am assuming when you are saying rubber coat you mean rain coat? We don't actually call them rubber coats over here, they are rain coats. A rubber coat would be an accessory at an S&M store. So, Billie using overcoat and rubber coat could both make sense.

I'd say the rubber would make sense with the "nuclear winter" line, as rubber is often used in haz-mat suits.

So have we established that Last of the American Girls really is about the last girl to survive the apocalypse?

I think so, yes. Billie's got into the Fallout series, and 21CB follows the lives of Christian and Gloria in the couple of weeks surrounding the Great War.

I thought it was "use" but pronounced like it rhymes with fuse. "Strike this fucking match to light this fuse, uuuzze."

I always thought it was a rubber coat too because the coming of the nuclear winter.

:lol: This is one of my favorite threads!

No like when the medical imaging health workers where a rubber coat so they don't get radiation when giving you an xray - so I thought billie was saying rubber coat because of nuclear fall out.

We would say overcoat - as in a coat to keep us warm - we call rain coats - rain coats. :D

He stops the word fuze all together then says the oooh if you listen

I've probably mentioned this one before too...but my username is an epic fail, since it's a misheard lyric.

Fourteen year old me thought it was 'better than air' instead of 'better than here' in Give me Novacaine.

I thought it until now! How do I keep living? It makes more sense, but I liked the idea with air. I mean you breathe air and you can snort drugs and that's definitely better/more fun than plain air, haha.

Most people did because it's a better lyric - makes sense.

I continue to sing/hear it that way

Honestly, this is really embarassing but, in Extraordinary Girl, I used to hear: "She's all alone again, wiping nachos from her eyes" (and I still do)

I always thought it was "wiping matches from her eyes". I like nachos better.
