Misheard Lyrics

Lala · #1 12-13-2003, 06:23 PM

Hi all! We all have to admit that we've done it. We've misheard our favorite band's lyrics, and probably sang them outloud and felt like a complete idiot. Or maybe you heard something that sounded completely weird and looked it up immediately. Anyways...post which lyrics you misheard. This is always funny.

Here's some of mine...I'll post more as I remember them:

"Track a ghost through the fog" (Angel)
MINE - Traffic goes through the fog

"In the stillness of remembering what you had..." (Dreams)
MINE - In the stillness of the memory of what you had

"I've never ever been a blue calm sea" (Storms)
MINE - I've never ever been a blue corn seed

Please include FM stuff as well as solo work. I'm sick and looking for a laugh. Thanks

Hold Me:

"There's No Step To Dance To, So Stick Your Hand Inside My Clothes..."

I guess I had a dirty mind

I think the actual lyric to that is raunchier!

SDMHA: Dusthead, Yeah, well, what am I supposed to do?

BTW, there used to be and probably still is a website dedicated specifically to cataloguing these mis-heard lyrics.

Everybody Finds Out- "When nobody sees them, at least not together, she rarely goes out"
I heard: "When nobody sees them, at least not together, she will be closed out"

Thrown Down: "He fell for her again, she watched it happen"
I heard: "He fell for her again, she was still... either rappin' or laughin'..."

That's All For Everyone: "Must be just exactly what I need"
I heard: "Must be just too sexy for me..."

Everywhere: "I'll even shout"
I heard: "I'll even shop"

Seven Wonders- "All the way back you held out your hand..."
I heard: "All the way back you held out your ass..."

Don't ask

Gypsy: "She was just a wish..."

Before I officially got into the Mac, I thought Stevie sang "She was just a witch..."

This, of course, worried me that she had too many "witchy" songs, and that meant that maybe, just maybe she was one....

Then I wised up!

When Stevie does Dreams live and says "It for you" after the last time she sings "Players only love you when their playing," I thought she was saying "It's all you!" I also thought there was a made up word "compateer" in Gold and Braid, which actually she says "easy come the tears." I have some more, I'm just drawing a blank.

That's what I thought this was, too.

Others I can think of right off the bat:

Not That Funny: "I didn't want to be this lame"

ISA: "I've had this hole in my heart too long"

Nightbird: "In the dark, in the dead of the place"

SYLM: "Have pity, baby, just when I thought I'd disowned ya"

BTLH: "If this hope is gonna turn out right"

There's more, but that's all I can think of off of the top of my head! lol

Well, if that line in storms is "I've never ever been a blue calm sea" then that would be my misheard lyric. I'm pretty sure it's "But never have I been a blue calm sea".

I used to hear that, too.

This isn't a funny one, but in YMLF, the first line of the chorus swallows many of the lyrics. For the longest time all I made out was "To believe in miracles" instead of "I never did believe in miracles." The Very Best Of version is the clearest one I've heard.

I used to mis-hear a line in No Questions Asked, the one that goes "That's a woman's right, they say." For the life of me I cannot remember what I thought it was, but I remember being very surprised when I finally read the lyrics.
