Good grief! What are the chances?! Because that's what I thought they were saying, too!! :roll:

Creepy ... I thought the exact same thing for years...

Actually when I first heard "Jeremy"... I was really into smoking weed, and I was pretty high at the time.

"Jeremy's smokin' ... graaaaaaaaass todaaaaaaay."

lol.

A very good friend of mine, that was actually in a band for a while thought the lyrics to the Cherry Poppin' Daddies song Zoot Suit Riot was "Zoom, Zoom Brian!" I'll never forget walking down Main Street with her when she started singing it at the top of her lungs Zoom, zoom Brian, Brian!!! I actually stopped walking and just stood there laughing. She couldn't figure out what was so funny and I couldn't stop laughing to tell her.

I always thought it was "Dunder Cheap", like some weird Australian phrase I didn't know

Until really recently, I always thought that "Ben, the two of us need look no more" from Rats was "Then, the two of us made love no more"

I always thought it was "Sorry seems so much sweeter" instead of "Some things are so much clearer" in RVM. Still kinda makes sense!

One I kept thinking I was hearing wrong that was actually right is "Like Pilate I have a dog." I thought that was too lame to be the actual lyrics!

sling

Oops - it's actually "SAW things so much clearer"!

I saw things so much clearer... when looking up the actual lyrics! :oops:

In RVM, for the first few listens at least, I heard:

"Sword thieves! Sword Thieves! Sword thieves! Sword thieves! Clearer, Clearer..."

oona left

As a kid, AC/DC's "Hell's Bells":

The chorus,"Hell's bells" (quite simply), I always heard as, "have a spaz!"


If you listen to it, it does sound more like 3 syllables than 2.



Made sense to me!

in rvm, instead of 'saw things', i keep hearing 'sophie! sophie!', oh, yes, i sang those words too, not even thinking about how little sense it makes

Sophiee, Sophiee, Sophiee Clearer, Clearer.................
A friend of mine used to sing it like that too!!! She used to say: "Poor guy! He must love that Sophie Clearer so much...."!!!!

Alright... no laughing....ok, guess you can laugh:
When I first listened to Red Mosquito, I heard "I was bitten/Must of been the devil/He was just plain mean"

Evolution - the correct line is "it's herd behaviour"

For many many years i was singing " He's RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" haha

This might be the funniest one yet!

"Even flow, thoughts arrive like photographs"
"try to forget this, try to erase this, from my mind"

... i still sing it like that, hard to change, especially when it makes some sense

Eraserhead

Courdroy:

"I'll take the four mince pies"

Red Mosquito:

"Orange just above the bed"

Jeremy:

Originally thought:

"Came down on me the Wicked!"

instead of

"King Jeremy the Wicked!"

Like WTF? lol

Big Giant Head

"Lucky" is riding on the motorbike
And i always wonder about the "deadly maroon"
and the "pelican" song is a classic

Better Yellowled

Thought that the lyrics in Metallica's "Fuel" - "Gimme fuel ,gimme fire, gimme that which I desire" was
"Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme double chinese eyes".
You know when someone gets stoned they call it chinese eyes. lol.

which part?

Also in sad the lyrics on the site say "to live within our embrace" I've always thought it was "deliberate in our embrace" still not really sure which is right...

On other sights it says "he lit a match in bed". On the site I think its "He let ‘em as he laid in bed"

I didn't look through the whole thread to see if this was corrected or not...

It's actually "Eleven nights he laid in bed"

in GONNA SEE MY FRIEND,

WANNA LEAVE IT ALL
WANNA GIVE IT UP
WANNA SEE IT , GONE ONCE & FOR ALL

WANNA FEEL WITHDRAWAL
WANT AN OVERHAUL
WANNA BE THERE, HARD AS A STATUE
BLACK AS A TATOO, NEVER TO WASH AWAY

instead of "WANNA FEEL WITHDRAWAL" i hear something else.
do you hear it too?

yatahe

Did not notice that before. What do you hear?

Hunger Strike (it was in the car this morning, and I wasn't fully awake...)

"I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouse of decadent"

doompony

Hail Hail

"It's Ed Roland, thick and heavy" instead of egg rolling... I thought he just hated Collective Soul


And more recently, in Amongst the Waves

"Remember back, the early days, when Neil Young had us amazed."

My friend used to sing "He just smiled and gave me a bite of Mike's sandwich" in Men at Work's "Down Under" instead of "....gave me a vegimite sandwich"...

Oh my gosh we laughed...

This is a ripper! My brother and sister and me came up with all sorts of lines for this one..."buying beds from a man in brazil"..."lying dead in bombay...slacking off not much to say...i said to the man are you trying to touch me....because I come from the land bent days"???? WT@#$%....

Someone also mentioned Dirty Deeds...yes me and my siblings would march around singing "thunder chief"....hehe..

For fellow Aussies out there...any takers for Cold Chisel ...Khe Sahn especially.... belting it out Sat/Sun afternoons at the pub fifteen/twenty years ago....where do I even start with the many interpretations screamed at the top of voice all at once with that one..."left my heart to the scrappers, trappers, tappers, slappers, batters, ladders" rather than "sappers round Khe Sahn"....or any Jimmy/Chisel song for that matter....hehehe

But of course this is a PJ site and discussion so as for PJ...Daughter...."Don't call me daughter...or petal...the pages kept will remind me"....yeahhh...righhttt...

Funny thread...great laugh

During 'Grievance'...I think EDDIE is singing..."Happy Birthday to Jeff Ament!"...lol :roll:

DangDang

Salt Beams, Salt Beams, Salt Beams, Salt Beams,
Clearer......cleareeerrrr
want you in my rear view mirrrroro


I didn't KNOW it WASN'T "salt beams" until I just read the "sing out loud in your car" post.. I was thinking, "where do they sing "saw things" in rearview mirror". DUH!

I thought salt beams fit cuz when you're driving in the snow and the road crew (not Pearl Jam's) sprinkles salt on the road to make it melt quicker. And that grime left on your car is salt beams---OH nevermind, that would be "salt streams". Whatever was I thinking! Oh now I remember--the "spray up" from the salt on the road from the car in front of you is "salt beams". But then again, it wouldn't be in the rearviewmirror
