OH YAH I just remembered another one (I have so many of these darn things)!!
This one, to my friends and I, is particularily hysterical becuase I sent it into another misheard lyrics site. Little did I know, it was a church site, with misheard lyrics from church hymns. Go figure. Anyway, I was eager to send in a good screw-up of mine and didn't bother reading some of the other entries. I submitted this line, from of all songs, "Warning" by Green Day:
In the first verse, right before the chorus, the line is, "get your philosophy from a bumper sticker". And if anyone reading this has even heard ONE of their songs knows that their lead singer (as much as I idolize him) is WHOLLY AND COMPLETELY incomprehensible (drunk? Perhaps), making the line, to me, sound instead like "get the fools off your feet and grow a bumper sticker". GOD I am retarded. My friends laughed their heads off at this. I just think I'm an idiot.
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- I used to think that church songs were pop music. Well, we did sing them in church every week...— Roxy
- When I first heard Stawberry Fields Forever, I misheard the lyrics as Strawberry Fields For Trevor.— Matt
- I used to believe that a "punch line" meant a line of people waiting to dip punch from a punch bowl.— Sheila
- My friend's sister believed the lyrics to Gazza's "Fog on the Tyne" were "Fog on the dinasaurs mine all mine"— Suzanne
- On this site when people sign "Anon" I thought Anon was one person who believed in a lot of weird things...— Slow to catch on.
- Actual lyrics: "I've never been your beast of burden"
My lyrics: "I've never been your big suburban"
— Big Suburban
