This is from tumblr (sorry if it was already posted but I haven't seen it)
Interviewer: Hopefully, it will be as blue as your eyes.
Billie Joe: Actually, they’re green.
what an idiot she's in front of him, face to face, and can't even tell the difference
In Worry Rock, I can barely understand what Billie is singing anyway, but the best misheard lyric for me in this one is probably "Promise me no dentistries". I was really confused about why he would say that and how in the world it makes any sense at all. Then I looked it up and it turned out to be "dead end streets".
I've posted this everywhere but it still makes me laugh.
2 of my friends have never heard Good Riddance properly, and one of them thought it was "There's something on the ding boom boom, and then the rabbit dies". The other one thought it was "There's something unpredictable, the Indian was right".
Nuclear Family
I always understood "I just want some action so gimme Mike Dirnt" It makes sense: Billie: Hey, Mike!! I want some action, come on, I want to play with you !!!
...ok...but Billie didn't want to play with Mike, he just wanted his turn
In 86, I thought it was "no return from anal sex" (it was the first time I heard it and didn't know what the title was, so yeah, that's why xD)
In "Missing You" I thought it was "Be my jug" instead of "She's my bud"
Listening to the cell phone recordings of Nuclear family from the Echoplex earlier this year I thought a line was "Gotta move my penis comin in for the kill" when it turned into "move my feet..." haha
I always thought that in Letterbomb it was "where will all the mortars go" but its actually "where will all the martyrs go"
The first time I heard Homecoming I thought that the line went "I started fucking running as soon as my pizza drowned" and I thought it was really stupid so I checked it and felt stupid...
Ever since I went through this thread I keep hearing five things:
"Well gotta know the enemy, RAW HAM!"
"This bitter pill is Jason White."
"Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken gnomes."
"I'm so fucking happy I could pie!"
"I don't know you but I think I ate you!"
Thanks everyone...Really.
When I first heard Jesus of Suburbia, I was really convinced there was a section about cats. Something along the lines of, "I have a cat, if you don't. I have a cat, if you don't. I have a cat, if you don't cat. I like cats."
And I'm pretty sure I still don't sing any of the correct lyrics for American Idiot, haha.
In Homecoming when he says "I started fucking running as soon as my feet touched ground" I always thought he said something about pizza. I can't remember exactly what I thought it was, but whenever I'd listen to that part I'd always think it never made sense.
