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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”
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.
When I first heard Foghat's "Slow Ride" I thought they were saying "Snow White / take it easy!" Which made a lot of sense to college me --- this Snow White vixen is really getting down to business...
Superchunk has a song called hyper enough and I think the first verse ends with "lofter gusts" but it sounds like he's saying "laughter guns" to me and many others. So much so the band made an EP with the title. Features a college radio show doing a deep dive on the subject.
