I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing
My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse
Turns out it was "strong beliefs", and not a medical term
Have a listen: https://song.link/t/70681623
That Land Down Under song. I still have no idea what the women or men do but I can hear the thunder.
The women glow, and men plunder! :D
What does it even mean? I mean the "glow" part.
You know what they say... you never shine if you don't glow
Hey now!
Pump Up the Jam - Technotronic
At first I heard, "I want, a player Tuesday."
Then I heard, "I want, a player to stay."
Apparently it's actually, "Awa, a place to stay."
That whole time I thought she was looking for a man (on a Tuesday), but she just wanted everyone to dance together.
I still say it makes slightly more sense in Otherside if he's saying "the cemetery where I married a thief".
"You know I'd like to keep my cheating strategy"
Actual lyrics: "You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today"
Blind Melon, "No Rain"
Crosby, Stills, and Nash - Southern Cross
"Who knows love can endure" --> "Who knows love Ganondorf"
Obviously not the correct lyric but they clearly end "endure" with an F sound somehow
Elton John - Your Song
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in the words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world
I misheard the "world" as "woods", as in, someplace far away, which changes the entire point of the song. The lyrics in this part starting with "I hope you don't mind that I put down in the words" imply a change of tone to something regretful, so a line to recontextualize that that the PoV character doesn't actually feel close to their supposed love would fit; but I guess that wasn't the intention.
I thought that Controversy by Prince was actually called Electric Pussy. Which, for Prince, actually tracks.
I always thought she said trampoline
“My lovers got no money, he’s got his trampoline!”
He's always bouncing!
. . .and so are his checks. ._.
We like to joke about non Spanish lyrics that sounds like Spanish. I love Apolocatv channel for that and 🐱 costumes.
In yoga, they have us sit in "sucasana" (also known as criss-cross applesauce) and I always t hear it as the polite form of tu casana, and Namaste also sounds like a Spanish word to me, every time. Tu Namaste tambien!
Yeah, the su/tú (you) form is easy and tricky to learn: su/vuestro(a)/su mercé are polite forms; tú/vos are informal forms. Our brains trick us with the easy/most used path to identify patterns and meanings.
Sukhasana (from Sanskrit) sounds like a mix of su (Spanish) Casana (from Italian/Trukish) =)
I think you heard from some novela the phrase: ¿(tú) me amas(te) también? Good to know that I'm not the one that fights with my brain mixing words in 4-5 languages.
"It's a corned beef sky... alright, is it some other guy..." - The Cars, Bye Bye Love
I'm here to say that I figured out "stomp on the stoop when you hear the funk loop". It took me 30 years.
Instead of the Go Go's saying "Our lips are sealed" I thought they were saying "Honest, Lucille."
“Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat, with you” - Paul Young
"She got too close, so I farted."
Zac Brown Band, "Knee Deep"
Dwight Yoakam - A Thousand Miles from Nowhere
For a chunk of my childhood, I always heard, "I've got heartaches in my pocket, I've got pickles in my head," rather than "echoes in my head." To this day, it's hard to unhear it.
