Completely Misheard Lyrics?

greenspirit

When ten came out, everybody in my town swore at the end of Jeremy, Ed was singing, Jeremy Spokane, Spokane, Jeremy Spokane class today!

I know it's retarded, but it was pretty standard, in Spokane at the time.

jfercan

I love this song and hate to do it any injustice but I swore that the opening line was

"She's an empty canvas, Untouched she's displayed
Legs spread out before me, as her body held stiff"

I dunno, just what I heard

I always thought Eddie was singing "I wish I was a new trombone" in the beginning of Wishlist..

mfc22

i used to date this dumb bitch who thought the lyrics in "go" said "please don't go hungry".

Gill

I got really confused about Sting's 'Every little thing she does'

i honestly used to think it said something like

'and i used to love her purple song"

and i listened to it tonight and suddenly realised it said something like

"and my love for her goes on"

purple song? 19 years of my life and i hear 'purple song'???

Here's a lesson i learned... NEVER do a trombone or trumpet sound out of your mouth in front of a Tromboner (sounds funnier than a Trombonist) or Tumpeter!... They hate it

So funny...........lmfao...........

does anyone know what the song is really about? Once I read that Eddie said that if most people knew what it was about, they might not like it as well.

Thanks; I can't believe that it sounded so much like my wrong lyric.......

I guess I thought that it wasn't literal but more figurative, like, "pissed me off", etc.

I did check into the Lukin thing, and for the life of me, I can't figure out any of the words at all. Has it ever been sung in a form that you can understand the words?

I looked at the website that gave the explanation of what it's about, but it's the words that elude me. Even when I tried to listen to it on the Imagine....dvd, it was not understandable for me although the tune , itself without the words, is still pretty good.

One day I heard my buddy singing along to Evenflow.."oh, evenflow, because it hurts like butterflies!". I couldn't stop laughing.

haha i really screwed this one up...
Black Red Yellow, he sings, "Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah."
I heard, "I'm on fire, like a fifty foot rubber man!" hahaha! it made no sense to me what-so-ever so i had to look at the lyrics. i was way off!

There's more funny when your english is not good (my example). Blck Red Yellow - i heard ... hormones firing like (sth - i couldn't recognizeg 50 foot) BOURBON!!!

I got it more:) maybe that's why i think words of their songs are so joyful

Alive lyrics: "I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look..."

I heard: "I can't remember anything to this very day
Except love, looooove..."
This made much more sense to me even after I read an interview where Eddie talk about the whole "where to keep the look thing"...

for me was always "i can't remember anything to this bury day"

i had a huge misinterpret for go. what i thought is sooo far off from the words, but the way ed sings it really sounds alike. hehe

i thought:
"Once fastened, servile, now you're getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm"
was:
"one step so sublime, now you'll be a star
moving on so swiftly, just past the sun"

wow. i had more bad ones. once i think of them i'll post again. fun thread.

i knew this next one wasnt it but still to this day i hear:
"glorified pleasures of a pelican" in glorified g, instead of
"glorified version of a pellet gun"

oooh .. from habit:

"i'm so happy with my righteous self"
was:
"i'm so happy with what my wife just said"

I also hear "pelican". I.m on my knees..."i.m so happy with what my wife just said"
Thank U guys. I alway thought i've got problem with english, but now i'm sure Eddie has a problem with pronunciation.

Hahaha oh this is great....The first time I ever heard Rearviewmirror, I thought instead of :

"Saw things, saw things, saw things.)


He was singing : "Soy beans, soy beans, soy beans."

Yeah. Lovely.

I thought it was "salt things"

Sorry, i stop to reply... to much... forgive me for taking so much place here:)

In 'sad' on Lost Dogs, i really used to believe it was;

'and its sad,
that he only missed his food'

instead of

'and its sad,
that his loneliness is proof'

this confused me for the longest time ever, until i suddenly heard it the correct way...

i'm mixed:) Are u hungry?;)

I've almost forgot. That's my best. The last sentence from Lukin

-i heard, and i was happy 'couse i thought it was the only one sentence from this song i could recognize:
bl, bla, bla... pearl jam sad: no fuckin' code


instead:... was purchasing a fucking gun

So big mistake. But i thought my version so fit to the title of the album...

My friend was singing one day. 45 Virgins on a pelican instead of glorified version of a pellet gun. This was 10 years ago and it still makes me laugh evertime I listen to "Glorified G"

From PJ.com/song/
"Three crooked hearts and swirls all around... I miss"

I hear less syllables than the actual line.
