Misheard lyrics

[Vlad!]

As Mark and I were riding in the van back from Ohio a week ago, I was listening to Emotion is Dead by The Juliana Theory. When it came to the song "Don't push love away," I would have sworn that the 'She's crying' line said 'Cheese guardian.'

Um, that's not what it says?

Hah!  You think thats bad?  I am the master of mishearing lyrics.  Here are some examples(these are from other peoples CDs that I heard while riding in a car with them):
In Linkin Park's "Hit The Floor", during the screaming reply to the rap part(I'm sorry, I don't know what the real lyrics are, so I can't give you more detail)  I hear STICKY SHOE HORSE STRIPE! instead of whatever he is really saying

In Creed's "Beautiful"  I hear " She stabbed me" instead of "She stripped me"

In the Newsboy's "Let the Truth Be Known"  I hear "It takes all morning to eat your toes" instead of "If truth be more than to each his own"

Linkin Park's Points of Authority, I hear these lines

My Life, my Bride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
You have to act like you're so what

Its a curse, I tell you!

for the longest time I thought the chorus to the Newsboys Shine went "on the outside looking for--" and kept wondering when they would finish the sentence. looking for what?

 

[Josh]

From Switchfoot's "New Way to Be Human": I heard "heck yes" instead of "hey kids."

In Creed's "Beautiful"  I hear " She stabbed me" instead of "She stripped me"

Actually, I think the line is "Beautiful...stripped me," but I can see why that would be confusing

Schil told me that, in Sixpence's cover of 'There She Goes,' the lyric is really 'This feeling that remains,' whereas I thought it was 'this feeling that we've made.' I swear it sounds like that.

for the longest time I thought the chorus to the Newsboys Shine went "on the outside looking for--" and kept wondering when they would finish the sentence. looking for what?

My mom still doesn't believe me that it's 'on the outside looking bored.' She think's it's 'on the outside looking for it.' But the newsboys (much like Leigh Nash) have trouble enunciating sometimes: in their song 'Good Stuff' (I think that's the one; it's been a while since I've heard it), I still think the line is 'Tender as a booger in your microwave' instead of burger...there's no way there's two 'r's in that word!

Also, in 'Love me Good,' when Smitty sings 'I could never live in a yurt on a diet of mongolian barbecue,' both Mark and I thought he said 'urinal' instead of 'yurt.' Icky.

Sometimes I think that the Supertones, the Newsboys, and, yes, even Switchfoot will leave out an article or conjunction occasionally when the lyrics are flying fast and furious.

When I saw the Supertones in concert, Dan the trombonist screwed up the rap in 'Little Man,' and it was so unrecoverable that he just gave a big ol' rasberry into the mic and then picked up a few beats later...it was pretty funny.
