I thought (and still think up to today) that at the beginning of System of a Down's song Know that it began with the lead yelling "GOSSAMIER!", like that character from Loony Toons.

Since when does "Cursed Earth" sound like "Gossimer!"

Quote:

And from the same album, some of Sugar is hard to understand too.

Violent Pornography confuses the heck out of me.

He doesn't give the words a lot of space in between, I'm sure at least one other person in the world has thought the same thing

That song is a laugh riot if you play it on an acoustic and sing along in your school's lunch room, people get so confused.

Yeah, there was another song where they say, "getting a thousand more than you could ever send." I thought they were saying "getting a thousand more than you could ever sin" - totally weird!

Unless I'm greatly mistaken, that sounds like "Living In A Bubble"! I love that song.

I have a couple:

In the song "Hallelujah, which has been covered by who knows how many people, there's a line that goes "Remember when I moved in you, / the holy dove was moving too..." Well, I heard it as "The holy [b]dark[/i] was moving too..." I think my version's prettier.

Here's a ribald one: In "Big Yellow Taxi" (the Counting Crows version), I thought the line "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" was "They paid paradise to put up a [CENSOR'D]ing lie!" Um, yipes! >< I wondered how they could play it on the radio!

Personally, I can't understand any of "Ana Ng." Is he really saying "Eighty dolls yelling 'Small Girl!' after all?"

Yep!

I thought of another one. You know how in Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner it says "Nothing comes as easy as you/Can I lie in your bed all day?"

I thought it said "Nothing comes as easy as puking and lying in bed all day."

Those are some wise words.

Dang.

Anyway, I just remembered a great site for this sort of thing: http://www.kissthisguy.com , after the most (in)famous misheard lyric of them all.

Without looking at that, I'm sure it's Jimi Hendrix...

Wow, everyone's talking about obscure stuff.

When I heard "Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)"

I thought he said

"She was a long, woman in a black dress,
just a-findin a beautiful song"

Turns out it's

"Just a 5'9", beautiful, tall."

That song is incomprehensible.

Well this is a funny story.
My mum used to write down the lyrics for ABBA when she ws a kid, and for Mamma Mia, she wrote down: Mamma Mia! Hedanimpasay!
Instead of: Mamma Mia! Even if I say!
It cracked me up, anyway.

Not to mention yelling Cigaro in an all girls school. It's really fun.

Umm.. In Stereophonics by Dakota, I thought it went 'Makes me feel like a woman'. And Midnight Show by The Killers, I thought it said 'White [bad word to describe child born out of wedlock] boy'.

Honestly, I have a whole pile of these and I usually prefer to sing them my way too.

When I was younger, I always misheard it as, "'Cause the Pharisees were bettin' that Jesus was a frog". I still sing it like that, because I think it's funny.

Maybe they got him confused with Jeremiah (who was a good friend of mine).

I hate that song! My name is Jeremiah and most everybody says it's funny, like they were the first ones ever to make it up. It really got old, real fast, like, kindergarten.
