Misheard MG[B] Lyrics..

[Dan #2]

Yeah, i thought "Paradox" too.

 

I've got one that's not really misheard, but misinterpeted. On I Miss New Wave, the part that goes "and hearing the scratches on my longplays" i thought Matt was referring to something in soccer, a play of some kind, but then i snapped out of my stupidity and realized it was hisses and such from LP's, i can be stupid sometimes:D

[Devil On Rollerskates]

In Advertising on Police Cars I thought "to reconstruct some of your bones" was "to reconstruct the song of your bones" and in Running For Home I thought "the ghost of your pleasure in contempt" was "the ghost you're pleasuring content".

In Advertising on Police Cars I thought "to reconstruct some of your bones" was "to reconstruct the song of your bones".

Forgot about that. Me too!

Jenni's Song: I also misheard "I've seen red" for "A Secret". Also, when he said "I love you, buried alive" I thought it was "I love you very much".

 

Suburbia: I thought "Hell's coming with me" was "Who's coming with me".

 

Load me Up: I thought "And they're comedians" was "and they're chameleons".

 

Anti-Pop: I thought "Give them blood and they'll love you for it" was "Give them bud and they'll love you for it".

 

In a World Called Catastrophe: I thought "since then I'm a dog" was "since then I'm a doll".

 

Pledge of Allegiance: I thought "This is a commercial" was "The sea's a commercial".

 

There's probably a bunch more...I seem to have a lot, but none of them are really that funny.

Load me Up: I thought "And they're comedians" was "and they're chameleons".

no its comedians. look in the lyrics

[NationofCool]

lol i think he meant it the other way around.

 

also, i like the misheard lyric for Pledge of Allegiance much better.

"the sea's a commercial for my army and NAVY" that makes it sound so much cooler! lol

[Devil On Rollerskates]

I thought "you could sail beside the world tonight" in Flashdance II was "you could sell the sad the world tonight".

[Guest acrobate]

When I first listened to Deep Six eons ago, I thought he was singing "Deep six, come to bed", which made no sense!!

[shenanigans87]

Anti-pop:

I heard "Gotta laugh at life on TV. 2 in 3 stays, one must go. Long enough to start the boogie..." instead of, "Got a life from life on TV. Two eyes that stay in my skull. Long enough to start belive."

 

Advertising on Police Cars:

I heard "To reconstruct the song of your bones" instead of "to reconstruct some of your bones".

 

Radio Bomb:

I heard: "so you can do the dirty in the middle of the night..." instead of "so you can hear the day in the middle of the night".

Haha, look at that. By reading this thread, I found another one.

 

I always thought he said "Not enough to stop this from me".

 

Damn Audio of Being booklets without lyrics ;)

[badseed]

Advertising on Police Cars:

I heard "To reconstruct the song of your bones" instead of "to reconstruct some of your bones".

I was always confused about that line.

I thought it was "to reconstruct the SUM of your bones"

 

I SWEAR HE SAYS 'THE'!!!!

[msmolinski21]

Avalanche - just to be clear - "Every ball loose. Every pass adrift. Can't tackle, can't shoot."

[Devil On Rollerskates]

Except I think 'pass adrift' goes before 'ball loose'.

[msmolinski21]

Except I think 'pass adrift' goes before 'ball loose'.

Yea, that's it.

[shenanigans87]

Empty Road:

I heard: "Dream of wearing leather."

Actual lyrics: "Dream of where it left you."

[NationofCool]

Symbolistic White Walls:

 

I heard "I have a sidekick.. she says im lovely.. she says the sight of me is turning her o-on.."

 

Actual Lyrics: "I have a psychic.. she says im lonely.. she says inside of me is turning out all wrong"

 

haha.. i liked my version better lol.

[Maverick]

Yah, I swear to go on Radio Bomb he does say "the"....

 

So you can hear the dirty..... in the middle of the night

 

It so sounds like that..... that's scary.

[NationofCool]

For the record, it IS "to reconstruct the SONG of your bones" not *to reconstruct some of your bones"

 

And did anyone else notice.. in the "a pleasurable headache" booklet.. that Apparitions is listed as track 2 and everything is automatic is track 3 from underdogs?? *it goes deep 6, app, eia, moosicb...and so on*

[Devil On Rollerskates]

For the record, it IS "to reconstruct the SONG of your bones" not *to reconstruct some of your bones"

 

Oh, good. I thought it was "some of your bones" because both this site and disorientation have it written down that way. And I don't have the "pleasurable headache" booklet, so I couldn't check that.

Running For Home - "so low for how high it's too late too die"  (so low for how high it's too late tonight)

I never heard any of these other ones, but I would have bet money he said "its too late to die"

 

hah well, learn something new every day

In Empty Road, I thought he was singing "When you were still too young to know the difference between the faith in your heart and the politics of the kingdom". Anyone else hear that?

[failingtherorshachtest]

nice post.

[middle class gangster]

first line of deep six i heard "deep six was a bear" (actual lyrics "deep six come to bare")
