I will say that one example for all is Abba’s “Mamma Mia” which I interpreted the beginning of chorus “Mamma mia, we are collagen” and the beginning of the second part of it “He’ll something broken hardly”. Don’t ask past me why I had to make it about intercellular matrix.
Like the legend of the penis
All ends with beginnings, ah ha
“Radio night, here I come”
instead of
“Ready or not, here I come”
FRYING OPENED MY THIRD EYE
I don’t know how you could mishear that one.
because earlier in that song…
“…today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed…” quote from Bill Hicks
hence why I thought he said frying (on acid ) opened his third eye…
seemed reasonable to me at the time. took a few years.
I’m suddenly feeling revved up like a douche.
Hold me closer, Tony Danza / Countin’ head lice on the highway.
The opening track What’s Up Danger on the Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack I can’t not hear him sing “I like hard cheeses that I might lose; I like it all on the eggs just like you”.
And I have to admit I do like cheese on my eggs…
Big ol’ Jed left a light on
Steve Miller! I can hear it now!
🎼 Blinded by the light / Wrapped up like a douche / A motor homer in the night 🎶
The actual lyrics are:
Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
I thought it was ‘Blinded by the light, when I’m like this, you’re the one I trust’. Which song are you referencing? Not Blinding Lights by the Weekend?
Blinded By the Light by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band
There’s a bathroom on the right
I’ll never leave your pizza burnin
Just like a one-winged dove
🧐 Those aren’t the words?
My favourite mondegreen: ‘Living like a lover with a red iPhone’ from pour some sugar on me, released 20 years before Apple’s first iPhone was released.
The real lyric is apparently ‘radar phone’, whatever that is.
I believe you are looking for this
I was almost 25, in the 1990s, singing along in my car to Elton John, confidently belting out “"Love, I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I would do with another man”" when I suddenly realized that it was unlikely a guy would have a hit song about what he’d do with a guy in the 60s or 70s. Even as a little kid I’d known Elton John was gay, and hadn’t really been brought up to think that was weird (thank you, mom and dad and your theater friends) .
I looked up the lyrics and it’s love lies bleeding in my hands, it kills me to think of you with another man and the name of the fucking song is love lies bleeding, I didn’t know that either.
“I’m blue, da ba de da ba die…”
“I’m blue, I would beat off a guy…”
You’ll hear that every time now, you’re welcome.
Numa Numa (aka ‘Dragostea Din Tei’ by O-Zone)
Thanks for this. When I was a teenager I heard this song from the meme, then unironically began listening to it on my iPod, and I still love it
We’ve got some good ones in french.
For example there’s a bridge in Sepultura’s Rattamahattah that distinctly sounds like “c’est dans ta chambre, ça pue l’opium” (it’s in your room, it stinks of opium").
Also, Metallica’s Unforgiven, the first verse sounds like “nous faisons des oeufs, et couic couic ils se tournent” (we are cooking eggs, and squeak squeak they flip).
