Lyrics Frenzy!

[IRoN]

12 years ago...
I was merely an apprentice in English language back then (not that I'm very different now). It felt real hard trying to understand what all those metal vocals meant... I used to take notes, struggling to decipher the lyrics, but what I heard was quite often "a bit" different from what the vocals had to say
Here's something I found this morning... an excerpt taken straight out of the original note:

"Oh my pretty side wish for tea"

which gave me a "laughing crisis" when I remembered it was a line from my deciphered version of Metallica's One...

"Hold my breath as I wish for death" :s


Here are some other examples from those people most of you know:


Pantera / 5 Minutes Alone
What Anselmo said: "I ask you please just give us"
What Tokmak understood: "I am your peasant killer"

Iron Maiden / Iron Maiden
What Dickinson said: Well, we all know what he said
What Cico understood: "Iron Maiden, LOVES you for that!"

Blind Guardian / Mirror Mirror
What Kursch said: "True hope lies beyond the coast"
What Barbarian understood: "Hay hay hiy hoy hiy hoy hoy!"


It's you turn people, spill it out, don't be ashamed, it can't be any more terrible than the examples I've given... or could it?

Can't remember my own mistakes but here's a page about misheard lyrics:

Misheard

 

[403]

Here's an example:

In Metallica's Sad But True a guy actually thought that instead of "Sad but true" the lyrics go "Z Patrol"!

 

[BARBARIAN]

MAOHUAHUOAHUOAHUHUAOOHUA...
How could you remember all these?
It gave me a laughing crisis morning morning...

Well I remember myself misunderstood bruce dickonson saying
'could I believe' in live after death as 'gule gule' which means
'good bye' in turkish...
And I asked the true lyrics from you umut,remember?

 

[tcall]

There's this song by Three Doors Down called "If I Could Be Like That", and used to think it was "Fuck Me Like That"

 

[IRoN]

If there's one man on earth who could get a "Fuck Me" out of an "If I could be", it must be my good old friend Timmy

403, so there's actually a site about misheard lyrics??? Damn! And I thought I was posting something so original that everyone would say: "Wow, this IRoN guy is so eccentric, I want to have sex with him right now!"
Now I missed all the credit... and it's all because of you! You ruined my day

 

[Eclipse]

i used to think

it's raining, man,
meant
it is a rainy day,
and only much later
I understood,

It's raining men!


Well, if this ain't funny, I can't help it, as I'm so damn good with English In the meantime, let me just think about my real mistakes

You know, they didn't call me "the dayruiner" back in high school for nothing

check the site out, it's filled with good misheard lyirics

 

[Eclipse]

actually, there is a blind guardian song, called 'valhalla', of which I used to think they were singing to me: 'vandaela' !

Whenever I got friends around, I make them listen to it, and they're laughing their asses off over it.

alelouia!

This is what I like!

 

[Evilho]

I think I was worse than Umy, unfortunately I don't remember very well... just that I had some laughing crises(es?) after buying the CD and checking the lyrics...

Anyway, Juli /Angel Holocaust told me that in an Iron Maiden show in São Paulo there was a poser guy next to her who didn't know any lyrics at all but was still trying to sing with Blaze. His version of Fear of the Dark was
"New York the night, New York the night"

 

[Eclipse]

that was me singing
"Here Jan the knight"

 

[Angelwitch]

It was Di Anno's wonderful accent!

He said "as i lay down on my bed"
and I understood "as a lady laying on my bed"
heh! that was when i first started listening to maiden! heh!
