Yellow Ledbetter misheard lyrics

Back_Pedal · January 2009

"Let him masturbate in bed"

Compared to

"And there is no god with a plan"

From Sad.

How I'm hearing this is beyond me.

Yellow Ledbetter misheard lyrics

That's completely brilliant; thanks for posting it

I showed it to my husband and he nearly died laughing (I think he especially liked 'potato wave'). However, I have given him more ammo by doing this because he's always taking the piss out of how indecipherable Pearl Jam lyrics are - d'oh! His Eddie Vedder impression is evil: all lounge-singery, slurred words and nonsense. His life is permanently in danger because of this.

A friend of mine thought the lyrics to Daughter were, 'my beige, old cat will remind me' and my Mother thought he was singing, 'don't call me Doris'. One of my best friends thought that Faithful was a song about lizards: 'geckos, nobody hears...'

GreenDay's "Basket case"

"I am on of those melodramatic fools"

or.....?

"I am one of those miraculous magic bulls"

I had this friend Trevor growing up who would sing the Ace of Base song " All that she wants..." and he'd say, All that she wants is to have my baby"

He was positive it really said that. And aerosmith, " Dude look like a lady"
He'd always say, " Do the lucky lady" ... Not very lucky if they knew Trevor

So on first hearing Alive, and for a long time after, I thought 'but I'm glad we talked' was 'but I'm playing guitar'.

:oops:

Although embarassed when I first figured out how wrong I was, I now can't help but laugh and still hear it in my head pretty much every time. I always thought it didn't quite make sense, thinking it would have done had it been the son in the song saying that rather than the mother. Kind of like 'yeah this sucks, but... I'M PLAYING GUITAR, so that's an escape and I'm still alive and all that' or something.

Deary me.

I think anyone who hears Jeremy for the first time will mishear the lyric "king Jeremy the wicked" as "came down on me that we cared" ..... SING IT

Crane · March 2009

Up until two years ago I honest to god thought that song 74/75 was

"74/75, I was sorry as a rapter"

Why I don't know..........needless to say my friends had a field day on that one

wait up in the dark · October 2009

Okay, this is my first post ever, and I am so glad I am not the only one that misheard Black!

"her legs spread out before me as her body lifted"

and also, I always heard "all five horizons" as " all those viborasms"

My husband says I just have a perverted mind :roll:

And, "I know you'll be a sun in someone else's sky"

There are so many that you all have listed here already:
"Fucking circles"
"What the fuck did this world, running to you did it, leave a message at least I'll cuddle in your voice once last time"
"Evenflow come to her like butterflies"
"Girlfriend, he can't help when he's happy he looks insane"
"Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed"
"I don't remember anything to this very day, but the love, the love"

Oh, there are probably lots more, but those are the worst one's I can think of!

pandora · October 2009

ok I know on the lyrics to Got Some what they should be
but
I keep hearing quite clearly so therefore am now singing
"are you a puddle full of detriment---al"
?????

RiotAct10 · October 2009

For a long time, I used to think in Corduroy, Ed said...

"Everything has changed, Absolutely nothings changed"

Which I still think is a better lyric, Haha. Actually, it was sort of like a line that me and a girlfriend in HS used to say alot, or attribute to our relationship, and she discovered that we had it wrong, but she was scared to tell me I think because she thought it was upset me, than when I found out, I told her, and she was like, "yeah, i knew, but i didn't want to tell you"

Everything has chains absolutely nothing’s changed

skippybrew · October 2009

Listening to Metallica's "Battery," my girlfriend thought he was yelling "Manta Ray!"

Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession, cannot kill the Manta Ray!
Cannot kill the family, Manta Ray is mounting ME!
MANTA RAY!

Now I can't hear anything else...

I cant stp laughing! What a funny bunch of people we are,love this thread!
Well, my cousin and I used to try and write the lyrics down so we could sing along to all the pj songs and we came up with this for " Jeremy spoke in class today"...."Jeremys smoking...plastic" . But you know, maybe he was? And even now, its still hard for me to sing Even Flow without singing " Rests his head on a FELLOW made of concrete". My mum used to think silverchairs lyrics for Pure Massacre were "Steel matchie car". Haha!

Hahaha.

I always heard.. "Jeremy has spoken ... at last today... "

Nice threat this one

Pearl Jam - Leash

Actual Lyrics - Drop the leash, drop the leash
What I heard - Thought police, thought police.

Radiohead - Morning Bell (Kid A)

I thought the song was about an bad indian chief or something...
