Misheard Lyrics
57
Pussycat Dolls
Fall Out Boy
So everyone has heard their dad guffaw (as only dads can do) about how he listened to the Beatles and SWORE they said "The girl with colitis goes by" instead of "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes".
But in the modern day world with lyrics at the touch of a button, it's pretty impressive that these lyrics slip through.
Pussycat Dolls (PCD) "When I Grow Up"
"When I grow up, I wanna be famous/ I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world/ Drive fast cars, I wanna have boobies"
Listen to the song in the video box and swear to me that's not what it says. (Okay the real lyric is "groupies", but I can honestly hear both. And boobies kind of makes sense).
Fall Out Boy "This Ain't a Scene, it's an Arms Race"
Check out the video at left; while I don't agree with most of their "misheard lyrics" from the mumbling group, I DO totally agree that it sounds like:
"I'm oh-so evil, also into cats".
And I giggle everytime I hear it. I believe the real lyric is "oh so intricate". But it could be the cats.
Prodigy "Smack My Bitch Up"
You tell me--
"Catch my picture, smack my bitch up"
OR
"Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up"?
I'm Blue
Nirvana
I'm just now discovering this seems to be a genre on youtube...
In which I found probably my first, true, misheard lyrics moment:
Eiffel 65, "I'm Blue"
"I'm blue, I'm in need of a guy I'm in need of a guy, I'm in need of a guy."
Which I still hear. And is as true today (horrifically) as it was in middle school. Awesome.
And I never realized how little I actually understand of what's being said in Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
Check out the videos at left to see what I mean--and tell me your "What the hell did he say?!" moments!!
...and as always, check out my blog.

HAHAHAHAHA. Oh god if my mother ever said that to me I think I'd keel over. I think that's actually "Racked up like a deuce another runner in the night"? Not that THAT makes any more sense.....
Gotta love some misheard lyrics!

LOL I can't TELL you anything. I'm horrible at that myself. lol. This hub is so funny. I still don't know what the actual words to Manfred Mann's "Blinded by the Light" song from way back in the 70s are. My mom used to get mad at me because I was singing, "Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche on the romer in the night." ROFL. She was all, "Do you even know what a 'douche' is?" Which at that age, I had no clue. And wtf is a "romer?" lol.
