mrduckygoosy Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 At the end of Hitchin' a Ride, is it "don't know where to go" or "don't know where I'm going"? I've tried looking this up, but that part of the lyrics are never written out for some reason. My mom also heard the N word in St. Jimmy at the Edgar Allan Poe part. I was never sure why until now. Haha. I'm almost sure it's actually "Don't know where I'm going" Quote
Veronka_Dos Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 The biggest fail was when I listened to Nuclear Family for the first time. I heard "I just want some action, so give me Mike Dirnt" instead of "give me my turn". Omfg 2 Quote

Anaïs. Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 That ones being going around for a while. To be quite honest it's become the actual lyric in my mind. I don't even think of the right one anymore. 1 Quote
Jirachi Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 really unimportant and not green day technically but In Mother Mary i first heard "There's a garden in the bog there", then "There's a garden in the fog there". Now i know it's "There's a garden in the park there" but i cant stop hearing the lyrics i thought it was. 1 Quote
Jirachi Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I thought that "Thinking out loud and acting in vein" in Walking Alone was "Thinking Back Now, How on earth did it fade?" 2 Quote
The Grouch is Tracy Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I thought that "Thinking out loud and acting in vein" in Walking Alone was "Thinking Back Now, How on earth did it fade?" Oh..... So that's what it says...... 1 Quote
Hermione Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 I thought that "Thinking out loud and acting in vein" in Walking Alone was "Thinking Back Now, How on earth did it fade?" It's actually "vain", might just be you misspelled it but the two words do have different meanings. 1 Quote
HungryHungryModels Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Okay, I know this sounds really stupid, but when I was three years old, I remember my mom playing "When I Come Around" in the car... And we driving past a friends house, and I knew that the lady that lived there was named Lauretta. For some reason, that just got in my head, and I thought that the song went "Here I come, Lauretta" instead of "When I come around"... Of course I eventually learned the right lyrics, but looking back on it, it's kinda funny. 3 Quote
Shondells Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 This bit in my Favourite Son; "So where's your fucking champion? On a bed you laid" Instead, I hear; "On a pantie raid!" I will never hear it the right way. Omg - I do that too and am SO amazed our way is not the right lyric!! *rolls eyes, shakes head, grins* 1 Quote
Shondells Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I used to sing: "and I'm sick and tired of" instead of "on a steady diet of" in JoS 1 Quote
Popular Post Hermione Posted June 27, 2014 Popular Post Posted June 27, 2014 I noticed that in Stop When The Red Lights Flash, "I'm not the hurting kind" sounds like "I'm not the herding kind". Now imagining a dog being asked what kind of dog it is and replying "I'm not the herding kind" when listening to that line. 5 Quote

I have a corgi (a herding dog) and a hound.....and I always imagine that the hound is doing just that very thing. 2 Quote
Pat1308 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I was listening to Insomniac and Nimrod lately and can't help but think how Billie actually pronounces some words rather...I don't know how to say it, oddly, I guess? I mean, when he's not slurring them. And not exactly Green Day, but I'm pretty sure people have already commented how "I walk alone" in BoBD sounds too much like "I wore cologne," especially when Billie is singing it. Kind of funny though because there's this Pinhead Gunpowder song where the lyrics are exactly that. "I WORE COLOGNE! I WORE COLOGNE!" 1 Quote
Hermione Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 My 7 year old nephew heard Welcome To Paradise and started singing along. Thanks to Billie's pronunciation of "paradise", he thought he was singing "pair o' dice" . Forever going to hear this now. 1 Quote
Laetitia Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Walking Contradiction - I swear I thought the lyrics were "I shit so deep I can't run away." Turns out they weren't. Nuclear Family - I thought it was "Baby, baby, it's a blowjob." I must have hearing issues. Edited August 20, 2014 by Laetitia 1 Quote
Anaïs. Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Nuclear Family - I thought it was "Baby, baby, it's a blowjob." I must have hearing issues. In your defense, plenty of other Trilogy lyrics are just like that one. 2 Quote
Laetitia Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) In your defense, plenty of other Trilogy lyrics are just like that one. Hah yeah they are. Admittedly, I do have a soft spot for the trilogy. Some of those songs really hit home, and I really like most of them musically very much. Lyrically, they definitely are not American Idiot-quality. But I must confess, I did like the very juvenile and childish feel some of the lyrics had, possibly because I'm still in high school. Edited August 21, 2014 by Laetitia Quote

kidofrageandlove Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Hahah it got me almost a year to figure out that "arms" in 21 Guns are not the arms you got on the side of your body, but weapons ooh I feel SO dumb about this :,) BUT i was like in primary school and didn't got the meaning of the lyrics anyway.... In general, when you get to really understand the lyrics the song gets an entire different meaning. 1 Quote

loveblondiebilliejoe Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I know that I'll think of more later but I used to think that "Know Your Enemy" said " Do you know your enemy, know your enemy, the color of the enemy, ohhaa." (And I was just like,"wow that's racist") 2 Quote
