I can't remember if it's that or just that loads of people have heard it that way . Does sound like something he'd do though, similar to "Mike Dirnt's a dirty whore" in When I Come Around etc. Quote
jengd Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 @Hermione I think it was pretty clear at the time and he looked at Mike and they both laughed, just got no idea where to even begin looking for the video. Poor Mike, once you hear some of these, you can't unhear them, Billie makes them fit too well. 3 Quote

Burness Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 In Letterbomb, I've always misheard the line "Where will all the martyrs go when the VIRUS CURES itself?", as "Where will all the martyrs go when the VIOLENCE KILLS itself?" And I would think to myself, wow thats totally bad ass and has a cool meaning behind it. Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed to see it wasn't my rendition, but the original line is way more creative even though I don't fully understand it. 2 Quote

I feel the same way about my misheard Letterbomb lyric! I always thought “The television’s an extortionist” was an awesome line and turns out he didn’t even write it 1 Quote
Hermione Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Someone said to my sister that "she's a rebel" sounds like "she's a Red Bull". SONG RUINED 2 1 Quote

Yosuke Hanamura Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 In American Idiot, my father misheard "Well maybe i'm the faggot America", as "Well maybe i'm the fat cat American". Which to be honest can work considering the definition. 1 Quote
Guest Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) When I listen to Wow! That's Loud all I can hear is "I like dirty traces of loud, and it goes..". I have absolutely no idea what the actual lyrics are. I know I've looked it up several times but I don't remember. I tried hearing what the fuck he's singing just now but I can't, I simply can't.

_Mace_ Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 In 'Lady Cobra' I though he was singing 'drinking piss for cheap guitars' not 'drink and kiss for cheap guitars' it's pretty different.

It's hard to tell when listening to the song but I've just gone with what I've seen on lyric websites or lyric videos which has been "drinking piss". Quote

So my muscle memory failed me listening to Hitchin a Ride the other day and I honestly couldn’t remember whether it was “the well that inebriates the guilt” or “the well that alleviates the guilt” since they sound almost exactly alike and alleviates the guilt is an actual phrase. So once I looked it up and verified it was “inebriates” it struck me what a brilliant bit of wordplay that was. 💚 4 Quote
Montclare Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 It's piss. There's an interview with Lady Cobra that mentions it- There is also a song Lady Cobra which features on their album Dos; what does that song mean to you? LC: The song is a bit of an introduction to Nightlife or an invitation to the MKOTC/Green Day party. Not everyone can handle the party though, shit gets weird. People drink piss. 1 1 Quote

It says "drinking piss" on most of the lyric websites I've found I thought it was "drinking piss from cheap guitars", a nasty version of champagne from a shoe! Not sure how you would do that without pouring it over yourself though, or is that too much detail? Quote
pouty bitch Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 This isn't really a misheard lyric, but my mam just started singing Redundant as "I cannot eat, I've lost my teeth, toothless and redundant." 3 Quote
deleteduser7593 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I'm listening to ''Deadbeat Holiday'' right now. It always gives me a certain feeling in the early morning... Anyway, since the 1st time I've listened to it, I've always heard ''Francesco back to August'' instead of ''Grudges come back to haunt us''. And my name is Francesco. Oh, I'm sorry, from now on someone will hear it too, probably, Lol! PS: Warning is so good!

I always think that "her mind" in She sounds like Hermione . Maybe hearing your own name in lyrics is some kind of natural phenomenon. Quote
