StanC Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 A little OT but funny. we were learning the tune Heaven by Los Lobos some years ago (B4 YouTube). But none of us could understand or speak Spanish so we could not get the correct wording for the bridge part at around 2:17 of this video So the singer substituted the following: Who keeps passing out the jell-o? Ketchup makes a nasty stool! Any Spanish speaking folks here? I can see the words in the video, but what is the translation?

tarkus Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 old guy I worked with at a day job used to sing at his desk. one day I hear him singing: "bald-headed woman... bald-headed woman to me..." The guy sitting next him says: "hey Mel, it's More than a woman! not bald-headed woman!. Mel argued vehemently that the song was bald-headed woman. I give Mel credit for holding his ground. When corrected he went so far to say that his glaucoma was affecting his hearing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DulceLabs.com Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Opening lyric to "La Isla Bonita". Some people think it's: "Last night I dreamt of some bagels". This came up recently in a random dinner table discussion, I said I always thought it was: "Last night I dreamt of some Pedro". You know just some generic Pedro. And my wife thought it was: "Last night I dreamt of Saint Pedro" You know, Saint Peter.... Finally, my son thought it was: "Last night I dreamt of sombreros". Now excuse me while I kiss this guy...

Rod S Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It's much worse here in Brazil. As the average fluency of the population who listens to english-lyrics music is pretty low, you get all sorts of bizarre understandings of the lyrics. I studied english since I was 8, and in my teens still had some trouble with lyrics that went away only when I lived in the U.S. My wife speaks reasonable 'business' english but has tons of trouble with lyrics. Funnier still is that some expressions or just the intonation given sound like a word a phrase in portuguese, and people just blurt that out during the song.

Dr88s Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 While I never misheard this myself, I read about it on some other thread and now can't I hear it. It's also from 'Bad Moon Rising' IN ADDITION to the bathroom on the right. One eye is taken for an eye Whoa now, you stinking foreigner. It sounds contrived and implausible, but have a listen for yourself. You'll never hear it the same again.

elsongs Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I seemed to have a problem with some Prince (R.I.P.) lyrics: Live and Collect ("Little Red Corvette") Two thousand zero zero party ovaries Out of time ("1999") I also thought the chorus of WAR's "Spill The Wine" went: Spill the wine Kick-ass girl! I also took a misheard lyric from Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" to heart: I thought the line was, "...And don't be afraid to know computers" So I became a big follower of technology and even worked in the IT field for a couple years...until years later when I found out the line was really, "And don't be a slave to no computer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbp71 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The bridge in They Might Be Giant's "Ana Ng" is about graffiti on a bridge. It says, "I don't want the world, I just want your half." At first I misheard is as, "I don't want the world, I just want to wear a hat." Then I realized that was wrong, but I thought it said, "I don't want the world, I just want your hat." I like both of my misheard versions better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthaholic Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Until I read the lyrics 10 years ago for 'What A Wonderful World', instead of '...and the dark, sacred night' I always heard '...and the dogs say goodnight'. I STILL hear that!
