"What does he mean by that?"

I mean, do you ever have those things in life when you hear something, usually in a song but not necessarily, and you hear it wrong or make a change out of it to make a joke because the word sounds similar to something else and from that point forward you will never hear it the same again?

Example: Whenever I hear the song "Freefallin'" by Tom Petty, I can't hear it as anything but "Freeballin." It's so bad that I can even try my hardest to hear it as it's intended, but it still sounds like "freeballin.'"

Here's a more recent one: Anybody who has pre-school age kids can probably relate to this one. Nick Jr. has this character that comes on between shows called Moose A. Moose who sings songs or does a matching game or teaches a lesson or something like that. Every month there is a theme and an accompanying song for that month. April will have a song about Spring, October a song about Halloween, etc. As a parent, you will hear the song at least 2 dozen times throughout the month. Last month was some song about animal friends called "Critter Comrades." The last line of the chorus goes:

"Feathers, fins, or fur, when you're feeling bad
Nothing cheers you up like a critter comrade."

The first time I hear the song my wife said "doesn't it sound like he's saying 'nothing cheers you up like a critter gone bad?'"

All February long I couldn't hear it any other way, then of course every time I hear it I picture a sad person being cheered up by a crazy dog tearing up the house.

Ah, parenthood can drive you a little nuts sometimes.

Anybody know what the hell I'm talking about?

Gypsies, tramps, and thieves!
The people of the town
That's what they'd call us!
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves!
But every night the men would come around,
And lay the money down.

What I heard:

Gypsy chimpanzees!
The people of the town
That's what they'd call us!
Gypsy chimpanzees!
But every night the men would come around,
And lay the monkey down.

I like my version better.  :thumbup:

 
Nick Jr is drilled through my house with three kids.  I know of the Moose you speak of.  Anyhow, the NiHao Ki-lan (sp?) they have the mini song they sing when a problem comes up.

When there is a problem and you don't know what to do
First you say you're sorry and help to fix it too

I however sing the last line...
"Sit down on the toilet and take a poop..."

I'm proud to say my 5 year old sings it like that now. 

We had a thread somewhere on here about misheard song lyrics or song lyrics you make up.  I do that all the time.  The part of "All Apologies" towards the end where they sing "All in all is all we are..." I always sign "Alan Alda is a whore..."

I never even knew what was being said in the first place. News to me. I always imagined it said "Oh no, an Oreo."

Now I know what it really says. Thanks.  :cheers:

In the song "This is Halloween" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

One verse is "Round that corner bend, hiding the trash can."

But what I heard was "Round that corner, man. Hiding in the trash can." I thought they were saying "Man" instead of "Bend" as if they were addressing the viewer as "Man". Don't know how that came to be.

Also in some video games you can't hear what somebody is saying. Like in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 I can't hear Albert Wesker's quote when he uses his Super Combo due to too much noise.

"Watch what you say... You're worth nothing to me!"
or is it...
"Whatever you say... Is worth nothing to me!"

I can't really tell.

People need to annunciate

I sing "f*cked up personality" for Living Color's  "Cult Of Personality" and thats due to Shadow mentioning a coworker signs it that way. 

I used to call it "boob ballin'", which is slang for cleavage sex.  :teddyr: 

"Blinded by the light!  Wrapped up like a douche into the rumor in the night!  Blinded by the light!"

Don't forget our favorite part about how "Little Early Birdie gave my anus curly whirly"!

ME TOO! But heard... "Revved-up like a douche." I always thought they were saying "Douche". :bouncegiggle:

For the past 10 years I've been thinking that when Eric Clapton was singing Layla, I thought he was singing tainted love!.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WUdlaLWSVM
You can make fun of me now.

My littlest daughter got a totally annoying (is there any other kind?) talking Elmo doll last Christmas.

It often will yell "yippie ki yi yay!" when you jiggle it.

My mild-mannered wife, a friend, AND I each independently admitted that we cannot help but mentally complete the line from Die Hard when we hear it.  (Each of us thought of this before telling the others about it.)  :bouncegiggle:

("Yippie ki yi yay, MF!")

Oh man, my son had a talking Elmo (not the same one you have as it never said "yippee ki yay") and that thing drove me nuts. It was the only thing that would calm him down when he was extremely upset between 18 months about about 2 1/2 years. I'm so glad he's past that phase and on to playing with cars.

BAD NEWS BEARS (original)

In the scene where Amanda is playing air hockey against Kelly Leak, Kelly asks Amanda what he gets if he wins.  She replies, "Name it."  For years, I thought she said, "Lay me."

Yup, I was gonna go with "wrapped up like a douche" as well.

For some reason, I always hear "Come-a Chameleon" instead of "Karma Chameleon".  I wasn't corrected until I was singing the words under my breath and my friend took it the wrong way... :buggedout:

My mom has LOTS of Elmos!  Included are a giant 3 foot elmo doll with his mouth wide open like a snake unhinging it’s jaw, that floppy headed yippy elmo that says yippie ki yi yay, and at least 3 different singing dancing laughing and joke telling elmos that the kids like to line up and turn on all at the same time.. but what’s really scary is when the 3 elmos batteries start dying so their voices get really slow and low and waver so it sounds like they’re channeling some kind of hellish demonic party... its the stuff nightmares are made of.

"Trevors underware"... lol :twirl:

It makes a sound? (shudders)

It does, yes.  :teddyr:

The thing I can never un-hear is the line in The Hollies song The Air That I Breathe "Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak" ~ I always hear this as "Fleas came upon me...."  :buggedout:

Always think Bob is singing "working on a night poo"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mRFWQoXq4c

Even the backing singers say it!

I often sing the Jesus Christ Superstar song "Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ...who the f*ck are you, what the f*ck are you Jesus Christ..." 

And thus cue the flames... :teddyr:

I once heard a song that was a re-make of Simon& Garfunkle's "Sounds of Silence", only dirty. I can't even remember the original anymore.

I had a roommate that used to refer to "Inna-gadda-da-vada" as "Inna-gadda-da-hamster" and that's all I think of when I hear that song.

"Don't lean on me on me man, 'cause you ain't got time for chicken"  :teddyr:

OMG LOL! I thought I was the ONLY person cracking up from those songs...

JCSS... stuck in my head. Will not goOOOO AWAY :wink:

The Winger song "In My Veins" from Pull (1993) has the chorus lyric:

"All I want is your trash in my veins
 Make it last for days"

But if you listen to the song (there's no youtube video) it sounds just like:

"All I want is your tits in my face..."

making it a perfect stripper song.  :teddyr:

When I was a kid, I heard the song America sung by Trini Lopez ~ I heard the line "I like to be in America" as "I like to pee in America". *ducks shoes* :teddyr:

It's a decent place to pee in.

 :teddyr: :teddyr:

I think my Dad got pretty PO'd with me for thinking that was the actual line, so he showed me West Side Story ~ only then did I realize what the line was.  :teddyr:

I pee in America all the time.  It's actually quite convenient.

 :teddyr: :teddyr:

You are welcome to come and pee in South Africa anytime. :wink:

Sure.  Maybe we can "hang out" together . . .  :buggedout:

I always thought it was "wrapped up like a douche" too, but also thought the next line was "get a boner every night." 

Sort of an obscure one here, dunno if anyone is familiar with the speed-metal band Helloween around here, but they have a song called "Perfect Gentleman" (on their 1994 album "Master of the Rings," where a lyric states "I am the genuine man..." However, with the singer's thick-as-hell Germanic accent it sounds like "I am the John Wayne Man," and that's the way I sing that line to this very day.  :teddyr:

 :buggedout: :buggedout: :tongueout: :wink: :thumbup:

Okay, so with the onset of Christmas, I've been hearing plenty of Christmas music. I've heard Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee a gazillion times in my life. I don't care how many times I hear that song, I cannot hear the line "later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some carolling" without it sounding like "f**kin' pie." It's just the way Brenda Lee sang that line, I can never hear it any other way. I'm always filled with two conflicting feelings: amusement and a small sense of shame for perverting a classic Christmas song with profanity. I just can't help it. Does anybody else do that with this song? To me it is so obvious sounding that it's hard to imagine anybody NOT doing it, but maybe I'm just a perverted a***ole.

Oh, and here's another one. Here in the states there is this Christmas commercial for T-Mobile (the one with the hot brunette spokesperson) that has the song "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" being sung by a bunch of elves, but instead they sing "walking in a 4G wonderland." Except it doesn't sound like they're singing "4G." Instead, it sounds like they're singing "walking in a orgy wonderland." I've talked to several people about this and they all thought the same thing. It's one of those things where the people who made the commercial HAVE to be aware of this.

In case you haven't seen it, here it is. I defy you to hear it any other way.

    Years ago, there was a commercial for Jif, with two women in the kitchen discussing (and tasting) the product. I'm certain the ad copy read, "Jif tastes more like fresh peanuts!", but I (and others) were certain the woman said,

     Jif tastes more like fresh penis!"
When I see a jar of Jif, I hear that in my head.

     My younger brother thought the line in "Bad Moon Rising" said,

    "There's the bathroom, on the right!"

That's funny. I played bass for a cover band a long time ago and we played that song. A bar we played at had the restrooms to the right of the stage when looking from the audience side. We immediately came to the agreement to put that line in and motion toward the bathrooms when we sang it.

 :bouncegiggle: Brilliant!

     Give that man a....

Flick, you must sue this girl!

^ Also, that's possibly the worst youtube video I've ever seen.

Watch and listen as nearly every line of this song sounds like something else.  I like the misheard (or mis-sung?) lines better than the actual lyrics.  My favorite is the part where he sings about knowing why Jesus tears off his turban.

Were Cocker and Springsteen separated at birth? :bouncegiggle:

For 19 years, I thought this was called "phenomena", and thus would go "Doo-dooo da doo doo!" every time I mentioned the Dario Argento movie. I only found out the truth a few months ago.
