Song Lyrics You Misheard / Misunderstood

[jose armstrong]

"this ain`t a city, it`s a damn odd place"

"this ain`t a scene, it`s a goddamned armed race"

i like your misheard lyrics better than the actual ones, make more sense.

My mom thought that in King for a Day during the chorus they were singing "Jail for O.J." hahaha

lol

[TheBullwinkle]

My cousin thought Billie was saying "I'm a Jew" instead of "I hate you" in "Platypus".

[Ayame]

"this ain`t a city, it`s a damn odd place"

"this ain`t a scene, it`s a goddamned armed race"

Someone (or their sibling) misheard that song as well and they posted a YouTube video clip with their misheard lyrics at the bottom while the song goes on....does that make sense to you? It certainly doesn't make sense to me....

Oh well I'll just post it here:

I dye grass

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Oh, and when i listened to American Idiot for the 1st time, i thought Billie said: "Well maybe I'm a fag at America", instead of "Well maybe I'm the faggot America."

Is fag even a word?

*looks up in dictionary*

Oops.. :sweat:

[Farah]

i never had a clue of most of the things billie said on the songs in that album when i was little

but now its quite easy.. wow xD

[#Ellie#]

i know, i suck at understandign billies voice on warning.

deadbeat holiday:

actual words: last chance to piss it all away

i heard: life's just a piss in all the rain.

[CellarDoor1983]

I just realized yesterday that it's 'there's no return from 86' NOT 'there's no return from innocence' which doesn't make very much sense - - it's one of my fav songs but I just got it!!

[insanedrummer]

I was just listening it Scattered. And where itt said "and all the songs have been erased" I thought it said "and all the songs of Billy Ray's" like a reference to a stupid Billy Ray Cyrus song.

[iLozza!]

After months of telling my dad in BOBD it was I walk a lonely road,he still sings I walk a lonely street.I've pretty much given up on telling him that!

[Ayame]

Fall Out Boy - Our lawyer made us change...(live)

Actual lyrics

'We're only good for the latest trends'

What I heard

'We're only pedophiles, latest trends'

Maybe it's because this is a live track....

[whatsmyname_jimmy]

i got the family guy words wrong >.<

actual words - all the things that make us laugh and cry

me - all the things that make us effin cry

[tq6993]

well i still cant figure out most of The Grouch by Green Day and Bab's Uvula Who?

listen to both of those songs (not at the same time lol) and see how much you can figure out!

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

I just were looking random GD vids on youtube.

At a Homecoming vid: "Does he say "cheese" or "geez"?"

Yeah, i know, isn't really funny. But i think it was!

[Princess Consuela]

God, I love this thread. It always makes me laugh so hard

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Me too, that's why i brought it back to the 1st page

[Nele]

I always hear "no thank you" instead of "i hate you" in Platypus. I just can't hear Billie saying that...

[Bikini_kill]

I just realized yesterday that it's 'there's no return from 86' NOT 'there's no return from innocence' which doesn't make very much sense - - it's one of my fav songs but I just got it!!

Omg! Me too..i couldn't figure what he was on about.. And then i thought, well maybe its 'there's no return from inner sex' (!not much sense there either!) dear dear..

Edit: I'm pretty much completely useless without some form of lyrics to read. I just hear SHIT, man, not even proper words..

[Ally]

i used to think it was innocence too, but i think it actually sounds better as "no return from innocence" dunno why tho

[RubbishGator101]

omg! my friend is such a dumbass.

he thought that "fake it" by seether was about e.d. lmao

"fake it, if your out of erection. fake it..."

what a tard.

:lol:

That made me lol!!

(well, i shouldn't laugh about mistakes of others, mine are far worse..)

--I'm a bit late with reading and reacting to this. but i had to:)--

[rymenocerous]

The real lyrics were:

So make the best of this test and don't ask why.

it's not a question but a lesson learned in time

But I misheard them as:

So make the best of the desert known as Life..

it's not a lesson but a question asked in mime..

lol how do you ask a question in mime?

i had a friend who thought that "Apologize" was:

"It's too late to call the judge..."

real lyrics:

"It's too late to apologize..."

hehehehe

[Tiffx]

I just have a hard time understanding the lyrics in most Green Day songs because Billie's voice just seems to be one of those hard to understand voices. Most of the time it's like his mumbling and not even singing any lyrics.

I know the lyrics to most (if not all) Green Day songs... but for someone who doesn't it would be realllyy hard to understand anything.

The hardest song I find to understand is The Grouch and Platypus. It all sounds like 'dkjfll sshhg'.
