NOVAGD Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Nice Guys Finish Last I heard the chorus as "Oh nice guys finish last, when you run out of gas" instead of what he was saying which was "Oh nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast." 3 Quote

Hermione Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 It's "you're running out of gas" in the first verse. It's "when you are the outcast" in all choruses. But it's easy to hear it that way in the chorus after hearing that line in the first verse (or after looking up the lyrics on one of the many sites that has it wrong). 3 Quote
St. Jonny Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 In Boulevard, for the first couple years my ears would hear, "sometimes I wish I want a bear will find me", you know, Billie and that one of a kind vocal delivery and tone. Easy to misunderstand. 4 Quote
Jinxed_ Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 My life was changed last week.... When I found out I had gotten the end of my favorite song wrong all these years. In jinx, I have always heard "Bad luck is hanging around you" instead of "I'm a curse hanging around you"..... 2 Quote

Boulevard of Brexit Dreams Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 There are so many, I'm terrible with lyrics! I thought 'like a pet left in the rain' was 'like a pimp left in the rain' 😂 In Welcome to Paradise, I thought 'Some call it slums, some call it nice' was 'some call it some, some call it nice' In St Jimmy, I thought 'halo of lights' was 'hail of light' On 27/06/2010 at 5:30 PM, Kayfabe said: Speaking of Extraordinary girl - he lacks a courage in his mind ... like a pig left in the rain. I'll post the other standard ones: 16: Things are easy when you're asian When I Come Around: So don't do what you like Quote
St. Jonny Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Used to hear: My daddy drew me a therapy. Also in the chorus for Jinx like mentioned above, I would hear "I'm not good draggin' around you" and "I'm now through dragging around you" In Extraordinary Girl, I heard "pill left in the rain" Quote
Caroline Truong Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 sorry these are funniest misleading lyrics..ever! always..wonder if Billie known if he knows what or who he is writing about. 1 Quote
Spoopy Doo Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I know this is a common one and I've heard it before but I'm pretty sure I sang "sell donuts at my door" when they played WICA last Saturday 1 Quote
LaughingClock Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 Hahahahahaa to all! My favorite thread reemerged and I always laugh my ass off on every one. Im telling you, I still plan on finding out the legal rights to the posts on here. A coffee table book to Green Day fans of this shit is a no brainer. Misheard Green Day lyrics are the funniest because of Billies purposeful often ambiguity in innuncuiation. 4 Quote
