Things You Can't Un-hear

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*

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.
