Misheard Lyrics

Home - by - July 6, 2012 - 17:30 America/New_York - 28 Comments

The quintessential misheard lyrics song! A true 90′s classic, this may be one of those rare songs that NOBODY has ever really heard the true lyrics!!! It may even be a mystery to the band!

    I might have “misheard” these lyrics had I ever listened to a Pearl Jam tune.

    The people who did this – did a great job on it.
    But I have to admit that I have never heard that song before. I am not “that” old and have always listened to almost all kinds of music, even up till today (sorry no rap crap though).

    Frosteetoes, Ever read any of the crap that went down with Iron Butterfly. I think it was their Lead Singer was a freaken genius and ended up working for the Feds in some secret spy ring. He disappeared like 20 years ago and nobody can find him. Check it out on the web. Pretty interesting story.

    I remember in being in high school and having the social studies teacher wasting two days trying to explain to us the deep meanings behind the lyrics of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” from Nirvana. Talk about two hours of wasted life. It was all I could do to keep from vomiting all over my desk while drowning in the leftwing sea of crap he was dealing out.

    Hysterical!!! Misheard Lyrics Guy is a total genius and this took some real work to put together! Loved it!

    As for Eddie Vetter and Pearl Jam, besides being pretentious assholes, Vetter sounds like a man who struggled all his life with a severe speech impediment then fell into an addiction to liquor and downers. My nephew was in service and saw him in – I am not sure, I think maybe Denmark – some years ago at a concert. He said that Vetter mumbled and growled and groaned so much that at one point, two of the other Ranger guys were wondering if he was either trying to puke or having diarrhea in his pants right on stage.

    Ah ha, This one. Probably all BS, but makes for interesting reading. The long version of Innagodadivida. Is killer. I play it non stop at Christmas. Get’s me in the spirit.

    What about the frequently misheard lyric in the Wahhabi Top 40 classic “Turban Rage”

    Acting savage and I don’t know why
    ‘Scuse me while I kill the sky

    Actual lyric “While I kill THIS GUY”

    My mother told me it was always important to enunciate your words properly. I can clearly see why now.

    I thought this was about “misheard” lyrics. It sounded exactly like what I thought he sang. Charlie Brown’s teacher had a son in a band, now you know the rest of the story.

    I’m 50 and I like the song. (In my best Mark Levin impersonation) “There I said it, what do ya think about that”) Having said that It’s kind of funny.

    Here’s pearl jams version just to put it into perspective.

    @upsguy:
    ‘Bachman Turner Overdrive’s

    “Steak and Carrot Biscuits” is my favorite’

    -All this time I thought that was

    “Steak and Carrot Bis-Quik”, which I thought would be great, but the grocery never had it in stock!
