Tears in Heaven
[chorus]
I must be strong == I must destroy
Lets hear em
If you like peeing on koalas and getting caught in the rain
“'Scuse me while I kiss this guy…”
Fun fact: there is a book called that, that is a collection of these.
They are called “mondegreens”. They’re a ton of fun.
Head Automatica - I Shot William H. Macy
What my friends and I heard when the album dropped: “Yeah, yeah… I put a sausage in your little hand!”
What the actual line says: “Yeah yeah, I’ll put assassins in your little head.”
Although my all-time favorite is and will forever be:
“Excuse me, while I kiss this guy” - Jimmy Hendrix
Love Head Automatica (and Glassjaw!)
I’mma pull up I Shot William H. Macy now.
From high school until two or three weeks ago, I thought the lyrics for Limp Bizkit’s “Just Like This” were concerned about John Goodman’s weight.
“…and we make sure that John Goodman beats fat”
The song randomly popped into my head a few weeks ago, and I was like “wait, that can’t be right”. So I looked up the correct lyrics which are “And we made sure that John kept them beats phat”
I just breathed a sigh of relief that John Goodman is not the subject of a Limp Bizkit song…
Used to listen to this on the youth club juke box as a 10yo!
I just can’t understand 90% of lyrics.
Billy Joel - She’s Always a Woman
She hides like a child but she’s
always a woman to me== a weasel-woman to meHow have I never heard this. That was great.
Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Casserole, casserole, on the wall.
I know I’m not the only one but I always thought the line was “dirty deeds and the Thunder Chief”. Still think Thunder Chief is a cool name.
Same band, I thought the line was “let loose, vamanoose” like a funny way of saying vamonos - or “lets go”.
I also heard “Thunderchief” and thought it was referring to airplane of that name
Justin?
Better than “Dirty deeds done with sheep”
I thought it was “Dirty deeds, dungarees” when I was a kid .
My mum thought it was “Dirty jeans and they’re dungarees”!
I also used to say stuff like that as a kid! I think I said, “thunder Jeep.” My dad thought it was hilarious. But he did show me that the album included the lyrics. I’ll still do it my way if the song comes on when he visits.
I was once listening to The Pillows’ “I Think I Can” around a friend. Japanese band, lots of their songs are in English but you’d never know through the singer’s heavy Japanese accent. He repeats the titular line a lot in the song and my friend thought he was singing “I lick my cunt.”
That was 15 years ago and it’s still all I hear when I listen to the song.
Suffragette City:
“The smell of fat chicks just puts a smile on my face”
Baking Carrot Biscuits != Taking Care of Business
No dogs orgasm in the classroom
Another Brick in the Wall (part 2)
“all in all it’s just a” - “hol ihn hol ihn unters Dach”
“Fetch him under the roof”. And it has a nice story to go along with it that the sound engineer mixing the song was German, heard that line and then committed suicide under the roof of the studio because he was reminded of the abuse he suffered as a child in an orphanage.
Total fabrication by the German documentary show “Quarks & Co” to demonstrate how one can be manipulated to hear stuff that isn’t there. To this day I can’t not hear it when listening to the song.
What is Lady Gaga saying in Scheiße or is that hokey-Deutsch?
Total gibberish.
I used to work with this guy who swore the lyrics to Beast of Burden by The Rolling Stones were, “Don’t wanna be, your pizza’s burnin’”.
I will never accept that it’s not. I would say that the correct lyrics are “pizza burner”, though.
