LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2002 This should be funny. What are some things you "thought" a singer was singing before you found out the real lyrics? What are some of your funniest misunderstood lyrics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted November 14, 2002 I didn't trip on it, but this thread can't go on without the world famous: "'scuse me while I kiss this guy" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted November 14, 2002 Umm.. MIB, what song did THAT come from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted November 14, 2002 Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze". It's probably the most famous misheard lyric, and the fact that Jimi sometimes sang it that way live as a joke didn't help matters either. The actual lyric, of course, is "'scuse me while I kiss the sky". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Report post Posted November 14, 2002 In the Shania Twain song "That don't impress me much", when she sings something like "you kiss your car goodnight", it sounds very much like "you kiss your cock at night" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Report post Posted November 14, 2002 And I just got reminded of this whilst reading the Queen thread. At the end of "One Vision", Freddie may or may not sing "fried chicken"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Report post Posted November 14, 2002 That one Avril song... Its like "I want to blow you............(10 seconds later) AWAY" and "I want you to go down........(10 seconds later) One Knee" of course, One Knee sounds like On Me.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 14, 2002 Corpsevomit's Gathering Chemical Children has a line that goes "Orgies of the sick" but kinda sounds like "Warts on my dick." Either way, it doesn't mess the song up too much. There's a suck ass Slipknot song called Liberate, and the line "Liberate, my madness" sounds exactly like "Do you like, bananas?"

Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted November 14, 2002 I didn't trip on it, but this thread can't go on without the world famous: "'scuse me while I kiss this guy" I'll join the club with that one, heh. On the title track of The MotherFucking Smiths' 'the queen is dead' i always heard Moz say 'has the world changed to invite change' when on the lyric sheet it's 'has the world changed or have i changed' though I'm positive the first one is what he actually says on the track. And on his solo track 'suedehead' i always thought it was 'i'm...so...sick of you' when it's 'sickened' though especially on the live version the former sounds better, i think. Though i'm not the greatest singer/songwriter ever so i guess he wins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't you know she's only to be gawked at, not heard? Calling her music Country anymore is a stretch. I was flipping the stations and paused to oogle her for a bit, and she was riding some futuristic motocycle in a video, getting chased by a robot or some shit. Seemed pretty far from Country-Western, unless that means Silicon Valley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Flyboy Report post Posted November 14, 2002 Ah, well then. Hollywood is exaggerating because there isn't really a long pause when she says "I wanna blow you away." I don't know what he's trippin' on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted November 14, 2002 This happens to me all the time. I'll hear a song on the radio a few times, and 'make up' my own lyrics if I'm not quite 100% sure what the singer's actually saying. Then, I'll pick up the CD, and, if the lyrics come on the liner notes, I'll read them and go, 'Yeah, that makes more sense'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted November 15, 2002 Me and my cousin were watching LOUD, when a Blind Guardian video came on. I love 'em, he hates 'em, but I had the remote. Anyway, the lyric was actually "Born in a mourning hall", but my cousin looked at me and asked "Did he just say "It's all in the mullet, hun."?" Quite comical.

Guest Ravenbomb Report post Posted November 16, 2002 from a Misunderstoond Lyrics calender 'Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer' is heard as 'Hold my clothes and tie me down, sir' not from a calender: 'The silicone chip inside her head' is heard as 'the silicone ship and spider head' from I Don't like Mondays.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted November 16, 2002 There's that other Shania Twain song where the lyric is "If you wanna touch her, ask" but sounds like "if you wanna touch her ass." Not sure if that one's intentional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
