I miss the rains down in Africa.

Such a beautiful idea; after a long, parched stretch of time where you aren't sure if your water supply will last you long enough to survive, the sky opens up and the rains finally fall. Your saved!

What the heck does blessing the rains do? Extra damage against the undead?

I used to play an MMO called Shards of Dalaya that was a modified EverQuest. Anyway, Felwithe, the High Elf town, was named Athica in it and there was a server event where there was a raid there. One of the comments in chat was "I bless the raids down in Athica." Always thought that was clever.

I’d like to say this to singers…

No, maybe you wrote this in your lyrics sheet and planned to say it. But…what you actually said in the song was…

[-] kazren@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

I remember being in a hotel once, and scrolling through channels and saw a concert channel playing a Bruce Springsteen show. And he's sitting at the piano doing a little monologue about the song, and he doesn't say douche, but refers to a cover (the Manfred Mann version) and it using "feminine products" instead of deuce, which is what he wrote.

I don't know what Manfred said, but even the Boss thinks he said douche.

Someone I know misheard "Tenth Avenue Freestyle" as "Tell the devil you freestyle" and honestly that's a much more interesting song.

[-] Glowstick@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Haha i have some very funny news to tell you! The lyric is actually "tenth avenue FREEZE OUT"

I always heard the lyrics to Cake’s I want a girl as “ I want a girl with the right eye locations”. Seems reasonable enough, nobody wants to date Sloth from the Goonies. And then one day a girl I was talking to told me it was “the right allocations” like measurements, and I’m not sure if I’ve ever felt dumber.

Short Skirt / Long Jacket

Great song whose music video includes some beautiful shots of early 2000s Sacramento (where they're from), including local news anchorwoman Dierdre Fitzpatrick when she was an in-the-field reporter!

Thats cause they are an interpretation of your own subconscious rather then the pop verse of the writer.

[-] Glowstick@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

In some cases yes, but in some the misheard lyrics are actual better

"I've met a man with too many faces" sounds like three times cooler than "I'm not a man of too many faces".

[-] TheDannysaur@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I heard "carved my name into his legacy" instead of "leather seats" in Before He Cheats.

Liked the idea that the truck was this bozos legacy. Considering the line prior is "I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive" - I thought she keyed her name into the side and that sounded awesome.

[-] kazren@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Yeah! That was so metal! It also made me think she keyed her name into the side of the truck, which would be much more visible.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 5 months ago

I'm here / to remind you / of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me.

(I used to think the line was about her ex refusing to return to her a teddy bear that he apparently gave her as a gift. Which rather fits with the song's theme and just seems dickish and spiteful on the ex's part.)

i misheard lady gaga’s bad romance the first few times. “want you in my rear window, baby, you're sick;” came across to me as “while in morrowind, your baby is sick.” thought it was a commentary of some sorts lmao.

Don’t go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and “straits” your used to

Which makes so much more sense. Why would you say "lakes". You already said river, which is a moving body of water. Why are we changing it from a moving body of water to a non-moving one? Isn't it supposed to be a metaphor for not being able to chase a water fall because it's impossible. But you can follow a strait or river, which is just another progression of life. Lakes have no progress. And yes I consider a passage way for water progression.

One Republic's Too Late to Apologize.

I used to think they said "it's too late for Papa Johns." I have told my friends and family and they can't hear the original lyrics anymore. Every time I hear that song that is what I hear.

We played in metal bands when growing up. One guy heard "Ride the sky" by Helloween and thought they sang "One must die".

When he found out what it really was he used "One must die" for his own song.

I saw a local (Aussie) punk band once and thought they were singing about “titties and cheesecake”, turns out it was “tinnies on tuesday“. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed. They were perhaps more disappointed when I told them in the beer garden after the show. I still wish for titties and cheesecake.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

In that one Macklemore song. For a long while I thought he was singing “So we put our hands up like the silly can holders” instead of “like the ceiling can’t hold us”
