there's a bit in 'such a sad puppy dog' that sounds like....'they put a cat, on louie's head, now they've murdered ham'
you can pretty much make up your own lyrics for everything on the album. it reminds me of when adam buxton did that thing where he put funny subtitles underneath the songs on songs of praise.
i'm not sure if their staggeringly bad diction makes me like them more or less.
my liftshare suddenly wakes up and comments on the Catapult chorus, "Whats he singing? Catfood?". And it really does sound like that, which is now how I hear it, every time. Cheers matey
Was convinced she said she was "living on sexy island". Then again, also thought she was bellowing "sieg heil" like a glorious banshee Nazi at one point too.
One of my friends is convinced it's "sexy elephant"
in the kind of background 'who's he think he is?' bit I somewhat inexplicably heard that as 'boobie pinkies'which I always thought was a little odd in the context of the song.
sounds like "none of you n****s have seen the CLUNGE that I've seen" rather than "kind of shit". When I'm rapping along (yeah yeah) I always say clunge. Always.
At least a thousand. No question. And I thought the line was "You shoulda built a wall, not of brick," rather than "You shoulda built a wall, not a bridge." My wife pointed it out to me. I felt like an imbecile.
In worse news, though, a friend of mine believed that Alanis Morissette sings "cross-eyed bear," rather than "cross I bear" in "You Oughta Know". So. I'm not the worst.
When "Atlas" by Battles came out, someone here posted, as a joke, "People won't be people when they eat this sandwich," and now I can't not sing it like that, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THE REAL WORDS. I want to get it tattooed on me somewhere.
We took a ride on the chute-de-chute / the girl that sat beside us almost puked...
You never know how great her tits can feel when you stop at the top of a ferris wheel...
in helena by MCR, he actually sings "WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT I COULD SAY?" instead of "WHAT'S THE WORST THING I COULD SAY?" and if you slow the song down you can hear the fastest little 'that'
it's just, why? one of life's great mysteries
"what's that song Tom Jones is signing just now, Sex pom? Sex Monk or something?" - A guy my mate used to work with about Tom Jones's sex bomb.
I hope yours does better than mine

I think links are the key.
youtube lets you link to an exact moment in a video now, see below.

now it sounds like "no life for gingers now"
Yup
Thought the same until I looked at the song titles. Preferred the ginger bashing tbh.
Alkaline Trio - We've Had Enough
In the shadows where they hate Zane Lowe

I thought Highly Suspicious by My Morning Jacket
had a line about "aiming for the Pulitzer Prize".
Turns out it's "Peanut butter pudding surprise". I think I'm going to pretend my version is the real one.
that's a great one
i thought it was 'penis but a pulitzer prize'
Radiohead - Nice Dream
My dad always used to sing out loud "ICE CREEEAAAMMM", twat.
my mum used to sing "nice dream" as "last train"
for years.
I got my mum listening to High Violet by The National, and she really likes it.
But I just overheard her telling my brother about a song called 'Tumbling'.
TUMBLIN WHEN AM WALKIN WI SPIIIIIDURS.
MY DAD
Said, 'It's 10 o'clock and I am walking with spiders.' Matt would be proud to use that as a substitute I feel.
I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand
new sensations, let me feel the pleasures of another man
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrzGpVOPcTI
Glad I'm not the only one
I have a gay friend who honestly got into Joy Division because he thought those were the lyrics and he thought it was really honest and confessional and stuff and he could empathise with it.
Was very upset to read the real lyrics online.
:-(
That is a quite heartbreaking story
Had to bump this
I'M GONNA SHIT MYSELF!! OPEN A WINDOW!!
Oh fucks sake
Quotation marks fail LOL
PS. Margin Walker by Fugazi
Amazing misheard lyric.
cheers!
You've either improved or ruined one of my favourite Fugazi songs. I can't decide yet!

Here she is miming it (kind of) in what must have been quite a career low point

Mate misheard Lay my bones in the cobblestones

Not an image of guy garvey I especially wanted
The Pretenders - Middle of the Road
For years I thought one of the lines was "I'm standing in the middle of the Road with my pants behind me" as opposed to "pants behind me".
My sister thought The Clash's Janie Jones second line was "he's in love with terry's All Gold" rather than "he's in love with rock n roll woah".
Class.

Japandroids - Evil's Sway
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_CIc3hXOkM
The opening lines still sound to me like
"The sun lays low on a solemn city
And all I see is sexual bread"
A guy at my school when I was about 13
Genuinely thought the main line to Professional Widow by Tori Amos was...
SCABBY BITCH! SCABBY BITCH!
Ha. I thought "it's got to be big, it's got to be big"
actually was "You gotta be gay, you gotta be gay.."
I always thought it was scabby feet.
The chorus of Odessa by Caribou
Chicken steak chicken steak chicken steak
idlewild
this constant erection is more like an exception.
I stopped and waited for progress
I stopped and waited for progress
I stopped and waited
But I’m not willing to have sex at all
What's in these batteries
My housemate
recently told me that for years he thought the lyrics to the TLC song were 'Don't go, Jason Waterfalls'
:D
For real?!
My mate also thought this as a kid... so weird.
Whiskeytown - 16 Days
" Can't sleep when the bedsheet farts "...
The Avalanches - Since I left you
Heard as since I met you.
I used to hear the next line as
"I found the world summin' ta do"
Oh Chris de Burgh, Chris de Burgh...
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful.
CRAWLING IN MY SKIN, THESE WALLS THEY DO NOT EEEEOOORRRR.

in Crazy in Love
in the kind of background 'who's he think he is?' bit I somewhat inexplicably heard that as 'boobie pinkies'which I always thought was a little odd in the context of the song.
Mars Volta
I've got a penis that'll rip through the very fabric of time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1FVc_4iHNw#t=1m08s
minus 15 points to Mars Volta
for those not being the proper lyrics
To be fair
with the mars volta that just might be the actual lyrics.
Nothing can ever beat this:

Spc Eco - Don't Know Ever
It really sounds like Rose is singing in the opening line
I'm Yours, for any kind of bottom noise!!
Destiny's Child- Bootylicious
I don't think your eggy bread is ready..
Crying by TVOTR
pretty sure in the "Down in the trenches" verse he says something about a "Mangina's right angle"
one of the bonus tracks to Misfits Famous Monsters
is about time travelling with Chris Benoit if you hear the same misheard lyric me and my brother used to sing
Manics - Die in the Summertime
Seriously thought "Whole days spent throwing sticks into streeeeeams" went "Whole days spent watching Sex and the CitEEEEEEE"
I don't think you did
However I did actually think the line in She Is Suffering was "I find the cat strangled alive from a tree."
Ha, that just sounds like Nicky trying to write a Richey lyric but being too provincial with his mindset.
Foreigner - Hot Blooded
Im a hot-blooded, chicken of the sea,
got a fever of 103
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c1m2BAg2Sc
Jay-Z's bit in Monster
sounds like "none of you n****s have seen the CLUNGE that I've seen" rather than "kind of shit". When I'm rapping along (yeah yeah) I always say clunge. Always.
L L COOL J
don't call it a cumbath
I have listened to "We Became Accelerated Readers" by LC! close to a billion times.
At least a thousand. No question. And I thought the line was "You shoulda built a wall, not of brick," rather than "You shoulda built a wall, not a bridge." My wife pointed it out to me. I felt like an imbecile.
In worse news, though, a friend of mine believed that Alanis Morissette sings "cross-eyed bear," rather than "cross I bear" in "You Oughta Know". So. I'm not the worst.
ALSO:
When "Atlas" by Battles came out, someone here posted, as a joke, "People won't be people when they eat this sandwich," and now I can't not sing it like that, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THE REAL WORDS. I want to get it tattooed on me somewhere.

"You're all have in this teenage twilight
Your god-damn hair and your pebbles for eyes"
This never, ever fails to make me laugh
I just can't believe you smell.

something me and my friend noticed a few years ago, still makes me laugh
