Lyrics - Hearing them wrong?
Has anyone misheard lyrics? Well, I'm sure everyone has, but... Anyone want to share their experiences? xD For example, Fountains of Wayne's Strapped for Cash - at first, I misheard it as Stressification or something. xD! |
That happens all the time , me and my friend had a fight over the part in "Killer Queen" by Queen when is goes "gun powder gelitine, dynamite with lazer beam "
we keep arguing what they during the underlined part^^;; |
Quote:
xDD Did you ever try looking it up? But you know, it does sound an awful lot like "gelitine." xD |
Back in "the day" when Eiffel 65 just put out "Blue," I heard "If that was me I would die" instead of "daa ba dee da ba daah."
Wow, that was embarrassing. :oops: |
When I was in high school I was the biggest fangirl over the Sailormoon musicals. Tuxedo Kamen has a number of hilariously garbled Engrish lines I loved.
"Mystic Passion!" sounded like mistake of fashion. "You shall lose the way" (I *think* that's what the intended meaning is) sounded like you shall lose some weight. Musical Tuxxy totally makes up for how lame anime Tuxxy is. :lol: |
Oh gods... When Linkin Park first released Meteora, I swore for the longest time that in "Nobody's Listening" the line was
"I tried to keep you horny, but everyone ignores me." When in reality it was "I tried to give you warning, but everyone ignores me." Or something like that. |
That happens to me all of the time xD Never anything funny though.
BUT My dad thinks beyonce says "In the closet, if I farted" instead of "In the closet, if I bought it" in that annoying song of hers. And my sister heard "Ooooh boy, oo oo" in the song Who Are You? by the Who. [Instead of "who are you, oo oo"]. haha. |

There also was "If I was green, I would die." |
There are millions of misheard lyrics for the J-rock music I listen to. Dx
Everything from the entire Clever Sleazoid song by Dir en grey, to small parts here and there where something just happens to be misheard, and it doesn't even matter if the original words were in English or not. I hear some of the most disturbing things when I mishear lyrics, everything from the very first thing whispered in Gazette's "Saraba" (I hear suck off, but it's supposed to be saraba Dx ), to Miku's way of saying venus in Smile Ichiban ii Onna (you can just guess how that's misheard...), to one of Hyde's songs from the Faith album that I can't remember right now, but that sounds disturbing to me also. Dx When I remember, I'll share it, haha. Hmm.... *looks around on youtube* Here are two versions of misheard lyrics to Clever Sleazoid, the first song I mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK9XCJxwRbI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDpfc_auQus The first one is the most popular version of the misheard lyrics. It was posted everywhere soon after the song originally came out. I love misheard lyrics. <3 |
Ah, yeah, that happens sometimes. I don't have many examples of my mishearing lyrics, but there's Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon". I don't remember what I kept hearing at first, but it sure didn't sound like it should. I swear I thought it was in French. Ah, shame on me. ^_^;

I have tons of music that I have misheard at one point or another. It's usually with my French music though o.o;; But luckily nothing big as far as mishearing has gone there, at most it was me mishearing "et puis" for "après".
I've made bigger mistakes with my Japanese music. I can't remember them all, but most of them were pretty embarassing. And as far as English music goes, in the song Opheliac by Emilie Autumn, I heard "But you were never able to keep me breathing" as "But you were never able to keep be believing." It makes more sense with breathing due to the reference, now that I think about it. |
The song "Flavor of the Week" I thought that he was saying "tombstone, Nintndo" when he was really saying "too stoned to know"

"You can dance, you can DIE, having the timne of your life..."
I'm pretty sure it says "you can dance you can Jive" x.x that was my worst mis heard lyric |
The mis-heard lyric i remember best is when i was about 5, and my mum took me out in the car, i insisted on bringing my Lion-king song cassette to put in the car cassette player, I loved listening to Scar's song so i played that one a lot, but i sang the lyrics wrong ^^
Instead of "be prepared" i always thought it was "big big bed" Only until I was told by my mum (more like i argued constantly with my mum over the right words) that it wasn't did i realize i was singing the wrong words xD That and I always pictured Scar sat on a huge bunk-bed in the Hyena's cave *end of big long story* Makes me laugh looking back on it now ^^ |
"BIG BIG BEEEEEED" I love that XD
I was just watching that movie yesterday XD |
|
In Fergie's song Glamorous, I always thought she said "you're a shitbag living a lie."
Then my two friends - who are big fans of Fergie, Rihanna, etc - started singing it one day at school. Turns out she said "popping champagne, living the life." ...oops? :oops: |
@ Morien: Wow. Well...at least he's not singing about dying and about happy dadadas? ^^; @ Masquerade: xDDDD Someone should make up a spoof of those with what you heard. @ Jesmond: ...o0;;. That doesn't really sound like what Linkin Park would sing about. xD But it would be awfully hilarious if he did...ehehe... @ Chips: ...ahahahahahaa. You have a strange dad. xD @ Secretdae007: ...if I was green? xD @ IshokuOsero: Oh wow. Haha...o0;;. They are kind of disturbing. Does that throw off the meaning of the song a lot for you? Like...a lot a lot? @ Katurine: Ahahaha. French? Eer...hearing lyrics wrong is one thing; hearing the language wrong is another...xD @ Suteki: That would be kind of scary to be kept from breathing, though. But I guess it's still possible. I can't say much on the French thing. I'm not a native to the language or anything, so I wouldn't understand a French song, but I agree how some words sound a lot like others. Like 'sais' and 'suis.' In my class, my classmates and I keep getting them confused, so if we say "I am," we end up saying "I know." When we say "I don't know," we end up saying "I am not." xP @ !WeirdBlueOne!: Ahhaha. Ahahahaah. Nintendo~. @ Her-Humble-Homunculi[/b]: Aww, that's not too bad. I think the misheard version is happier, though. xD @ Star Valo: Ohmygod!! That's so cutee! Ahahahaa. xD Bigbigbed~~~ xDD @ Sedge: ...speckled fronds? xD @ Frog: Ahahahahaha!! -cough- Ahem, sorry. Ahaha...wow. |
Happens to me all the time. xD
It's so embarrassing when I'm singing something and my friends go "Dude, wtf are you singing?". xD |
I remember a song xDDD
There was a word "infatuated" And I heard it as "in-fact-you-ate-it* D: |
Quote:
xDDD I know! You're singing one thing, they're singing another, and you're all, "What? Wait." |
Quote:
xDDD In fact you ate it? I see how that came, but... xD Ahahahahaa. |

I think EVERYONE i know thought that. I know I did. Instead me and my friends would sing: "I'm blue daba dee da ba die, if I was green I would die." it was pretty funny. |
