This is mega-annoying because it's a really cool song but I can't listen to it anymore.

Smells Like Nirvana

Lyrics:

What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know...

Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know what I'm singin'
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents
Yeah

It's unintel-ligible
I just can't get it through my skull
It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss
With all these marbles in my mouth
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know...

Well, we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah

And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet's so hard to find
What are the words? Oh, nevermind
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know...

Well, I'm yellin' and we're playin'
But I don't know what I'm sayin'
What's the message I'm conveyin'?
Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?
So have you got some idea?
Didn't think so -- Well, I'll see ya
Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, odinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaaah!

It brings visions of Rem Koolhaas searching hystericaly through his minimally futuristic loft for his knickers.

now another one for readers who understand Dutch (not many I guess). A friend of mine thought that in 'Vicious' Lou Reed actually sang the dutch word 'visjes' which means 'little fish'

Little fish You hit me with a flower

Ah well. I used to hear "I'll get another job at night" from XTC's "Earn Enough For Us" as "I'll get another job at *nine*". (i.e. back to work at 9 am the next morning, which makes sense)

Gary Numan, his love is real, but he isn't? ;-)

Maybe
I don't really wanna know
How you got engrossed
'Cause I just wanna play...

I marvelled at the way the guy with the eyebrows stretched out that syllable "gross", as if solely to disgust anyone who expected a sense of decorum from him. I had a new favourite great white hope. Of course, I soon found out the lyric was actually "how your garden grows", which is just so lame.

I never really got over that.

That's funny, I only count one per head.

It's great when misheard lyrics mean the opposite of the real thing. I spent months singing along to Wilco's "Radio Cure" as "distance has a way of making love understandable," when the lyric is "no way." Shucks.

What an interesting life I lead.

oops, but that's the way I heard that line, from Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower', listening to Mad Sheer Khan's live version of the song on the radio tonight

Can anyone guess which one this is? These might be the real words, for all I know.

Jesus, I think you have ruined this one song for me. I used to love it but I have the feeling that since this day I'll be hearing John Foxx singing "underpants!" everytime.

It sounded like she was singing "Your toxic come dripping down my body" or summat. That can't be right though can it? I mean, she's not putting (or rather, her songwriters aren't) THAT much innuendo in her songs yet are they? Although that thing where she fiddles with her breasts in the video clip lead me to believe that it's not far off.

MOTHERFUCKER! A recent detour to a Beastie Boys lyrics site disabused me of the following lyrics to "Hold It, Now Hit It:

As transcribed: "Every day I drink O.E. and I don't go to work."
As heard in my brain for the past 20 years: "Every day I take a wee and I don't go to work"

Goodgod y'all, is nothing sacred?

In Kristin Hersh's version of "Cuckoo" on Hips and Makers, I know it's "Oh the cuckoo / She's a pretty bird / She warbles / As she flies" -- but I always hear (prob bcz I want to hear) "... / She wobbles / As she flies".

As A kid I listened to Mariah Carey's Breakdown millions of times and I always thought the last line of the chorus was 'I tell my mother lies and then I breakdown and cry.'

"just because of love what does?"

-devin the dude

I heard Unbelievable at Skate King and thought the chorus was "you're ugly and bald"

the fact that I heard it at Skate King was very relevant btw

Torche - "Across the Shields"

Can't be right:

Harsh mad anger all the time! Soothsay big on your dime! Send all your kingdoms porn! And pray mother keep us all!

I don't know if its right or not, but i like those Torche lyrics.

For a really long time I thought ZZ Top was singing "Every girl's crazy 'bout a shy gas mask." In fact, I found the actual lyrics quite disappointing.

As heard in my brain for the past 20 years: "Every day I take a wee and I don't go to work"

Still prefer this.

there's another, longer thread on this

The Jags - 'Back Of My Hand'

When I was younger, I kept hearing "you're not unreadable, you're not unbeatable" as "get out of Weinerville, get out of Weinerville"

alan alda's all we are

Someone in this usually very quiet Huntington Beach neighborhood is gettin' all crunk this Saturday evening, presently to the sound of C+C Music Factory's 1990 single 'Gonna Make You Sweat.' This has reminded me that, when the song was current, me and my ten year old friends had a joke that the lyric was actually, "Everybody, pants down!"

I thought for years that the line in 'Daydream Believer' was 'my shaving razor's cold and it stinks'. That's when it's time to buy a new one, Davy. Gross.

"i'm just liberal nerves and feelings" - Joni Mitchell, "People's Parties"

Nelly Furtado:

"I am like a bird, I'll only fly away. I don't know where my phone is."

she's little miss prissy
and she love you, gene, baby, all the time
baby all the time!

Let's dance
Let's shout
Shake your body and do the brown

invest in a stool softener, man

or, y'know, drugs are bad

i did see this humorous transcription of Two Chainz's verse on Rick Ross's "Fuck Em":

"I'm chain smokin loud
Like it's a newborn"

I've got a Japanese edition of R.E.M.'s Monster with a lyric insert included - of course, as with all R.E.M. albums before 1998, the UK/US edition didn't include the lyrics, so someone clearly was hired to write down what they thought was being sung. Stipe's lyrics are hard to make out in general, particularly when you consider that Monster's production is quite murky in places, so of course the lyrics printed in the book are completely wrong!

Here's an excerpt from 'Circus Envy':

Here comes that awful feeling again
Make way for monstor (sic) jealousy
The strove man kicks in ending my breakfast
Cereal Bowl, I spell your name with Oaties
Oh, I messed it, messed it, messed it up

I got my car stolen there in the haystack
I am tired of your dark warm circus eyes
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bath
Encore man

definetely an improvement.

"She Belongs to Me": for at least a couple of decades I used to sing "For Halloween buy her a trumpet/And for Christmas, get her a bit drunk." As is often the case with these things, I like my lyric better.

When I was a kid listening to Exposé's 'When I Looked at Him', I used to hear 'when I looked at him with love eternally' as 'when I looked at him with love, he turned to leave'.

I heard Rod Stewart's "Young Turks" the other day for the first time in ages, and remembered that when I was young and it was first a hit I thought the lyrics in the second verse was "life is so brief, and Tommy's a thief when you're undecided." I was like, "This song is about Billy and Patty, who the heck is Tommy?"

Spotlight on Lou Rawls, y'all
Aw, don't he look boss, y'all
Said he loves to hurt his ding dong

Until last year I thought the chorus of Dancing Queen was "You can dance / You can die / Having the time of your life."

I am one of the many who initially heard "Come along, you Starbucks lovers" in the chorus of Taylor Swift's "Black Space" (...even tho I knew that couldn't really be the line).

Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shave us, some gay Lou Barlow

I can certainly conceive of Taylor Swift singing that line.

I thought a lot of Cobain's lyrics were made up euphonious words for many years

I wish I could remember all of my original super super wrong interpretations. It would make for a hilarious alternative Nirvana lyric sheet.

Ha yeah I don't think Google is right!

I’ve referenced Google’s version of a lot of song lyrics lately (simply because they appear immediately, at the top of the search results) — and I think I’ve always found at least one glaring mistake.

i always thought the Sundays lyiric was "the finest hour i've ever known/ was finding a pal in the underground" but it seems it's "finding a pound on the Underground" which is admittedly better

"I'm traveling in some vehicle
I'm sitting in some cafe
A defector from the petty wars
That shell shocked love awaits"

and the actual lyric - "away" - is so much better obv

We are we are God's chilled wren

tbf hardly matters if you mishear Jon Anderson lyrics

I just heard Rodriguez Sugar Man for the first time in a deserted Duke of Hawarden and this guy going on about his jumpers and coats was really putting me on edge

In "Call me maybe" I always thought she was singing "I've heard Satan is real" but it's actually "At first sight and it's real".

I've misheard Ramones "I wanna be well" as "I wanna be whipped" for years.

My brother and I thought the Mr Belvedere theme was:

Streets on-a China
Never met him before

That's all for everyone
Must be just too sexy, what I need

Just saw the lyrics to “Do Ya” and what I thought was “Commander!” or “ Amanda!” is supposedly “C’mon now.” I believe I am not alone in this.

Until last year I thought the chorus of Dancing Queen was "You can dance / You can die / Having the time of your life."

Unfortunately no

Ah okay, I looked it up

Rather puerile but for a long time on 'Today' by Smashing Pumpkins, I thought Corgan was singing "My angel wings were bruised and restrained, my willy stings".

lol

lately this has been stuck in my head: "IIIIIIIIIIIIII liiiiiiiiiiiiike the Christian Right"

LOL. Someone right wing nutjob of a musician should record that! You up for it, Morrissey?

Another on the Corgan tip:

Sail
Down in Oahu
Sail
I am one

lol that's p good

Deftones - "Elite"

Chino has heavy vocal effects and he's shrill screaming, so the verse sounds like

"When you're ripe
You're Billy Joel
You're Billy Joel!"

Found out it was "bleed out of control" and can't hear it the old way anymore

In a crowded room
I won't text too much

For some reason I was thinking about this recently: When I was a little kid, back in the days of AM Gold, I used to hear "The Night Chicago Died" all the time. I was far too young to have any context or reason for knowing who Al Capone was, and my little dumb kid brain didn't really hear what it was they were singing. So for some reason, I parsed it as something like, "A man called Bobbabone." Which struck me as a hilariously unlikely name even then.

Me and my friends had that issue with Barbara Ann.

We thought it was Bob Beran

En skikkelse lå der på bakken
Så vond at de blomster rundt visnet
En dyster sjel lå der på bakken
Så kald at alt vann ble til is
En skygge da falt over skogen

Da skikkelsens sjel visnet bort
For skikkelsens sjel var en skygge
En skygge av vondskapens makt

I always mishear it as 'skkkgwhaaahhwooowwwggghh'.

Okay, here is what might be the dumbest example itt: even though the song is titled '867-5309 (Jenny)' and I have known the full title for almost as long as the song has existed, I just realized a minute ago while quietly singing along that I've been mishearing the lyric as 'Daaaanny, I've got your number' for literally decades now.

And I'm fully aware that they evoke Jenny's name multiple times elsewhere in the song. I have no idea who the fuck Danny was supposed to be.

I'm in a state of shock. I just realized that the lyric of "The Bare Necessities" is not actually "Wherever I wander, wherever I roam, I couldn't be found there in my big home", as I'd thought for many years, but is actually "I couldn't be fonder of my big home".

Ours is a very Cocteau-positive household so, because I am generally a dipshit, you may be able to imagine my gf's consternation wrt my interpretations of certain Cocteau Twins lyrics. Her least favorite likely being the chorus to 'Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops', which I insist ends with Liz Fraser singing 'bicycle in chicken sauce'.

Haha

Bopper Ann, for me.

I mean tbf whatever they're singing it isn't in any way a clearly-enunciated 'Barbara Ann'.

Talking of the Beach Boys, the coda of "Break Away" is surely not:

"Fecal vibrations and all the sensations, break away"

I'm in a state of shock. I just realized that the lyric of "The Bare Necessities" is not actually "Wherever I wander, wherever I roam, I couldn't be found there in my big home", as I'd thought for many years, but is actually "I couldn't be fonder of my big home".

My theory - Phil Harris sang "I couldn't be ... found? .. Of my big home", and they never corrected it.

When they made Jungle Book 2, they re-sang "Bare Necessities" and corrected it to what you said.

When i was a kid i thought "Soul Man" went..

COMIN TO YA
ON A CASSEROLE

I sang along with PJ Harvey's "O Stella" in the car this morning: "Baseball players only!". Had to look up what she's actually singing

Beyonce - Countdown
'Whoo-oah killing me softly / Caspar the Friendly Ghost'

That seems to be how Casper would do it, very gently and with great kindness

I always thought the first line of redemption song was “ oooh a pirate’s just a rabbi”

Hahaha

True in so many ways.

The mohel of the merchant ships
Minutes after they took
Foreskin from the penis

i was born to raise some venus, i'll be mating here awhile
a meta-super-sonic jerk-off who forged into the game
a nearly sub-atomic genius who just deserves to pay
i will die nigh you, i will die nigh you, baby

Can I look into the faces that I meet,
Can I get my podcast off the street,

Doolally - “Straight From The Heart”

Show me that big sloppy dick! Show, baby, yeah yeah!

I was listening to Radiohead play "Just" on their recent concert stream, a song I hadn't heard in aaages, and I realised I didn't know whether the line in the last verse was "teach you how to get to purest hell" or "teach you how to get to purist hell". I think the second one is pretty funny.

Glorified version of a pelican

Always keep it low fed!

I'm not sure we can say with 100% certainty that Stereolab's 'Plastic Mile' doesn't contain the line 'twisty penis hand'

From 'Cherub Rock': Who wants that hiney?

Junior Byles, "Curly Locks"

"Curly Locks
Your father is a *pork chop"

The real lyric appears to be 'Pope chap', which is, in itself, pretty weird.

I thought it was poacher!

LOL, it might be! I thought Pope Chap was a dismissive Rasta name for a Catholic - given that they really do not like Catholics very much.

As long as we live
You're chewin' me, baby
There ain't nothin' wrong with that

dissed on the setlist!
the nude drunk drivers!

And when I felt like I was a narcotic and under someone's bed

Just remembered another from when I was a kid:

Animals like Cheerios and
They feel the heat, the heat between me and you

(I think Al Jarreau's 'Mornin'' had given me the false impression that Cheerios were a common reference in pop songs.)

That's really good.

For a long time I thought "And She Was" included this line:

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see an earmuff factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming

My (now)wife laughed at me for that, but then we discovered that her version of "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues" went as follows

Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like flounder

haha my Doves Cry mishear was

“Add the most tri-curious poses...”

Which, come on, it’s a pretty believable Prince lyric

Xzibit, Paparazzi: "I don't believe the hype about Wolf Dickens"

I'd never heard of wolf (woof?) tickets (still not sure about them tbh); never heard of wolf dickens either obv but I figured he was just some rapper that xzibit had beef with.

"Night and day, uuh, stopping off at you, boy" (Chic, 'Le Freak')

Would never have guessed that it was a jazz reference: "Like the days of stompin' at the Savoy"

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's "Oh no, Zoe goes"

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about the science pope
Don't know much about the French-eyed pope

Indiana Wants Me by R Dean Taylor was playing on an oldies station the other day. My wife was under the impression he was singing "In the end of Wall Street".

Meanwhile, my dad thought for years that Oliver's Army was in fact called I Love A Zombie.

My mate, back when, thought the Dr Feelgood track "Milk and Alcohol" was a song about Al Capone

Always thought "Like to Get to Know You" by Spanky and our gang went

Well I'd like to eat yr butthole
Yrs i would
Well I'd like to eat yr Butthole

Well do I have some good news for you

Don't know much about history

This has been making be laugh for a good couple of days

Look, I said I didn't know much about history.

Oh yeah, I also remembered the other day that, for an embarrassingly long time, I thought the line in the Friends theme song was 'your love life's the old way'.

We share the same biology
Regardless of our geology

my friend was convinced that Metallica's Unforgiven went

"new blood joins this earth
and quickly he's subdued
to constipate his grace
the young boy learns their rules"

Not so much misheard as mis-scanned, but in 'Laughing' by the Guess Who, I just realized I've long heard

You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me

as

You took away everything
I had you put the hurt on me

So I guess it's not a song about sado-masochism after all.

OH, Neanderthal's Metallica post reminds me (and I thought for sure I'd posted this before but I guess not in this thread) that I used to think the opening lines of 'Enter Sandman' were

Say your prayers
It's a won-
-derful gift, my son
To include everyone

'Say your prayers, little one' obvs

“I walk in Coleraine, with my telescope in my hand…”

for years I thought the Mr Belvedere theme began

"Streets on-a China
Never met him before"

so I spent childhood thinking that Bob Uecker found Mr Belvedere on the streets of China and took him back to the US to be his butler

hard lol

There were plenty of lyrics in Christmas songs that never made any goddamn sense to me as a kid (or even now, tbph) so it never occurred to me to question who Crispin Even was or how the snow got deep inside of him.

real heads know it's all about Deep In Crispin Even 3

I recall now upon hearing the song that there was a brief window of time when I thought the lyrics were

Find your tenderoni
Tenderonious, all right

flappy bird at 1:12 19 Jun 18
Aqua sea foam shame
Sunburned freezer burn

oh n/m it is lol

I mean it has to be literally hundreds of times that I've heard the song over the past thirty years, and I'm only just now realizing that the line in 'Outshined' is not 'the grass is always greener where the dogs are shedding'?!?!?!

I think it’s meant to sound like what you thought it was, but the lyrics booklet gives plausible deniability for a Parental Advisory loophole, perhaps? (I’ve never seen a cover with the label at any rate.)

OHHHH, thank you! I'm not a complete dipshit. The lyrics sheet totally says 'shedding' and I was credulous enough to believe what it told me when I pored over that thing a million times. Plus it wasn't bleeped on MTV.

Soundgarden were definitely the kind of band to toe that line, they were/are very wry and self-aware MFers.

"We were saying Fool On, Kevin's Mom!"

Hard-headed funk, you all!

I always thought in "Won't Get Fooled Again" it was "And the party on the left/is now the party on the right," but it's actually "And the parting on the left/Is now the parting on the right." Which I think is meant to convey the same meaning, but ... I don't see why it's not "party." Is Pete actually talking about ... the way people part their hair?

to this day I heard "this mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place" in Suffragrette City as "the smell of fried chicken put my spine out of place", even though I'm aware that is wrong.

For years I thought the first line of Keep Your Dreams by Primal Scream was "I believe that syphilis can burn your soul away." Not all that far-fetched considering the word "syphilitic" shows up in at least two other songs on the album.

In Scott Walker's "Montague Terrace (In Blue)" this is what I always hear:

The girl across the hall makes love
Her thoughts lay cold like Sharon Stone

Listening to ABBA's "Super Trouper" and just heard:

I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Costco

I always thought the part Kate Bush sings in Games Without Frontiers was "she is so funky yeah" not "jeaux sans frontieres"

on Metallica's "Now That We're Dead" it sounds like James is singing "Now that we're dead, Madea..."

Radiohead’s Airbag:

“I’m back to say the n-word”

irl lol

Arpaidiohead

Holland-Dozier-Holland - why can't we be lovers

"...I can't picture you, baby
You and I being apart..."

what i'm hearing, every time...and it makes me even feel guilty:
"...I can't control you, baby
You and I being apart..."

Sooooooo... it turns out that in 'Watch the Corners', J. Mascis sings "All at once the time flew" and NOT "All I want's a Tamiflu".

Apparently the main character of Joni Mitchell's "Raised on Robbery" was "drinking for diversion", not "drinking forty virgins." To the extent I ever thought about it I guess I thought it was the name of a drink or something?

Ohhhhh, I just remembered a real good one from my childhood:

I'm only human
A flesh and blood hombre

Lol

Haha

I keep picturing a zombie cowboy.

When I was a youngster, I thought McCartney was telling Jude "Chew leather under your skin."

Oh boy, another blast from the past. From Miami Sound Machine's '1,2,3':

If you need some Coke
Sing 'I can do it'

so apparently there are some people who think the lyric in "Pepper" by Butthole Surfers is:

"some will die in hopper suits and fiery auto crashes
some will die in hopper suits while sifting through my ashes"

to this I ask.

wtf is a hopper suit, genius

Ooh, good reference

Someone on Reddit recently asked about that 80s song that they thought went, "caribou clique, now we're sharing the same dream, now our horse can be as one, no more love on the run"

Used to think growing up that 'The Price of Love' (Everly Brothers, covered by Bryan Ferry) started:

"Wine is sweet and Jenny's bitter
Drink all you can, but you won't forget her..."

I always thought that the lyrics at the start of Miss America by Blur were 'Miss America sits in the shower/She's plucking owls from the sky', but apparently it's 'hours'?

I just pulled out Peter Brown's Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me, which I most certainly owned and played to death as a kid, and realized that I used to think it was "The Yamaha is the Playground for the Devil"....

Earl Sweatshirt, "2010":
"Triumph over plight and immense loss"
I'd heard "Triumph over plight in a men's large".. as if he was writing his theme tune.

A souped-up homeboy from the old town

in Top Billin' it sounds an awful lot like Milk says

but of course what he's really saying is

Gizmo's cuttin, up for thee
Suckers that's down with nei-
ther one of us

somebody told me
that you had a boyfriend
who looked like a girlfriend
and I had better be wary of that yeah

my goofball friend growing up used to laugh at Metallica's "Unforgiven" because he thought James was singing "to constipate his grace".

he didn't seem to believe me that it was "through constant pained disgrace"

oh crap I posted about this 15 years ago upthread. lol

It’s thirty years since I first heard “Here Come The Warm Jets”, and I only just today decided to google the lyrics

the 49ers radio play-by-play guy thought the “Soul Makossa” part in “Wanna Be Starting Something” was Michael asking “is it the same side the mic was on”?

That's creative lol.

So much more preferable to the litany of dorks who insist it's "ima say it one more time, I'm not gonna stop!"

I knew an idiot in high school who claimed to love the song "Tubthumping" and would loudly sing

"I got no doubt
But I get up again"

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we're dancing out into space
See lesbians
See lesbians
