Ascending to the meek.... Fuck round the liars in awe! [Opeth Mistranslations]

[Jon Snow]

Hahaa, this thread rules. I think the most famous misheard lyrics of all time are from Hendrix's Purple Haze...

"Excuse me while i kiss the sky"
is often thought to be
"Excuse me while I kiss this guy"

 

[Ermz]

I knew there was something wrong with that Harvest line! Every time I tried to sing along and fit in all the written lyrics it never worked. I'll see how 'born of cement but it's me who's tomato' works out next time I cover it

EDIT: By the way Mike, it's 'pronunciation'. The way people pronounce that word is one of the biggest ironies I know of.

 

[sands of the seas]

you people are compeltely deaf

 

[Arnold Layne]

For some-one who's first language isnt english Mike can speak better than alot of people. Damn ebonics

Jon or as in Cheech and Chong "excuse me while i kiss this fly"

 

[fps]

where's the deadly badgers bit guys? the only ones i've recognised are break my face with my bear hands and erection returns...

 

[Luz]

Bwahahahaha! 'The Almighty' absolutely rules.
Alternative 3 has right. Although I keep doing the same grammatical mistakes. Who cares, at least some of you understands what I'm trying to say...

...No?

this is true. his vocabulary is very impressive, i'd say better than 60% or so of native americans (no, not indians). mike is a smart chap it seems.

 

[Reaper of Souls]

Heh... you're right, lol.. It sounds like a little wet fart or something.

Yes, a wet fart is a great way to to think of it

 

[OpethNZ]

Jesus fucking christ that was good. Hahahaha.

ehhe yeah it was enjoyable to write to, and then to listen along to the moor and read it

 

[synergy]

I was dealing with only 1-ply
A treason beknowst to the hand

hahaha....thats great

 

[dorian gray]

Gotta work on my pronounciation eh?

you mean, "gotta work on my new album, eh?"

 

[NFU]

you mean, "gotta work on my new album, eh?"

 

[BrandonS]

He could work on both! And do crazy "Resurrection Through Carnage" style voice distortion and pronounciations!! And he could layer his clean vocals like 3 times for every clean line he is singing... I liked the way it was done at the middle of A Fair Judgement.

And poetry, the highest form of language, is really a bitch for non-native speakers. Yet, Mikael pulls it off lyrically.

 

[deliverance]

^indeed

 

[OpethGuitarist]

I'd say more like probably 90%. Some Americans are really dumb.

 

[dorian gray]

^there is no statistical correlation between "low intelligence" and a "limited" vocabulary. that goes for the inverse as well.
buuuuuut, i know what you mean.

 

[Ermz]

So 90% of American's are really eloquent ghetto-trash then? . Just kidding guys. I hate this african-american ghetto slang that's caught on though... it's spread down here and I just want to suffocate everyone I hear using it. That or replace their vocal chords... painfully.

 

[Kenneth R.]

lmao this thread is amazing. especially while listening to quoted passages

And the worst part is it has penetrated every corner of the english language, fucking government departments have taken to spelling stuff wrong on purpouse so kids will listen. Its on advertising campaigns for Mcdonalds, and condoms wtf? I thought kids were ment to be educated not vegetated.
