Misheard Lyrics


Lucinda

Recommended Posts

Have you ever misheard song lyrics and completely misunderstood the song?

I'm generally quite good at working out lyrics but some singers aren't very clear.

I remember when Backfire At The Disco by The Wombats was released first time round, about a year ago, it was less clearly sung than the new version that's out now. Both my friend and I heard the line "my sleazy remark on her whorish dress" as "my sleazy remark on her orange dress" and couldn't understand what was so wrong with her orange dress.

Excellent! I love stuff like this!

If you check out "me and the major" by belle and sebastian you'll find it sounds suspiciously like "me and the midget"!

This of course led me to think on first hearing that it's a tad inappropriate as it appears to have the line..

"me and the midget don't see eye to eye.."

Using the crap Jojo song that's on R1 at the mo... it sounds a little bit as if she's saying "You say you trod on my face" in the chorus. Only just noticed that, haha.

That line played just as I read that post, it does actually.

Reminds me of Fall Out Boy: "this ain't a scene it's a god damn a**e face" - I actually can't hear "arms race" in that song.

There's also a (dare i be sad enough to say it....) MANDY MOORE song called 'in my pocket'.

But if you have the opportunity to listen to it tell me she doesn't say

"nothing but panties in my pocket"!!

I think she means pennies...

Britney's had a lot of drama and hassle over the last year or so but let's throw one more scandal into the pot.

In the first line of toxic is she actually trying to tell us all that she used to be a man?!?!?!?!

"Oh baby can't you see... I'm Colin...."

Cor Blimey!

I thought I misheard a line in Estelle's American Boy "Ribena I know what you're drinkin'" but I looked on a lyrics site and it was written as "Ribena" on there.

So I guess top R'n'B stars have given up on Hennessy, and sugary blackcurrant squash is the bling of drinks these days.

UM is a nice place

This is not a song but an ad on the tv at the moment for liquid Persil.

It has 2 welsh children talking and it sounds like one of them says

"concentrated into a small bott hole"

but when I listened again its 'small bottle ' :)

When Zane refers to the group 'Black Kids', it sounds like he's saying 'blackheads'.

Not a song - but best place to bung this post really.

Speaking of Black Kids, is it just me that thinks one of the lines sounds like: "He's got two left feet and he bites my moles?"

Alouette...deployer les ailes;

Alouette...plumerai les ailes.

Pahahaha. Just heard it. You're right!

Scott also just did an excellent Zippy impersonation.

A girl I used to know used to think Altered Images 'Happy Birthday' had Clare Grogan singing 'How did Bob die'.

There's a very dodgy Christine Aguilera one which sounds like her requesting a sex act at the end, I'll let you work it out for yourselves.

Madonna with 'young girl with eyes like potatoes' and from the same track 'Drop a goolie I don't need'

Sunday Girl by Blondie 'I know a girl down a lonely street, cold as ice cream with smelly feet'

There's a current track that has something to do with pizzas all over the world but I cant mind it at the moment.

I did just hear newton faulkner singing about having problems believing what his bottom says!!!

'The light at the end of the tunnel was the light of an oncoming train'

    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
    • His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
