In February me and my family went to a concert with Kraftwerk. When the song "Numbers" came up, my life stopped for a second. I´ve always known a part of the lyric as:
"I am Padding,
and Sam Tackting".
Now, in the age og nineteen, I do not have to ask myself who the heck this guys are anymore, and why they´re mentioned in a song about numbers.. Because the correct lyric is:
"I´m adding,
and subtracting"...
-Great concert, by the way! ; )
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that numbers had gender, that the odd numbers were boys and even numbers were girls. — Evelyn
- I always wondered why shepherds washed their socks by night. (correct lyric: watched their flocks)— MaggieNJ
- I believed that numbers eventually just ended. That they stopped somewhere after 1000.— Jamis
- A common misheard lyric in BMTH’s ‘Shadow Moses’ is “THIS IS SANDPIT TURTLE!”— Oli
- Numbers went up to 100 then restarted at zero.Anon
- The highest of all numbers was "a finnety."— Becky
