January 13, 201511 yr CCR - I wanna know have you ever seen Lorraine coming down the other day? CCR- I see a bathroom on the right
April 15, 201511 yr Author Of course I've heard "Hotel California" a million times, but not until tonight did I finally know what they were saying. Also found out that "colitas" is Mexican pot. Before researching the word, I thought that It might've been a Mexican dish. Even though it made no sense, all I could hear was: On a dark dessert highway, cool wind in my hair, (one spell of collegious) rising up through the air. But it's really: On a dark dessert highway, cool wind in my hair (warm smell of colitas) rising up through the air.
April 15, 201511 yr Author Also... Another misheard line in "Hotel California"... And still those (pushers) are calling from far away, (you throw up) in the middle of the night... ...but it's really... And still those (voices) are calling from far away, (wake you up) in the middle of the night...
April 18, 201511 yr Any single part of Notorious Thugs. I hear people butcher it all the time. NOTORIOUS B.I.G. LYRICS - Notorious Thugs
April 18, 201511 yr When I was a kid, I always wondered why the Verve Pipes "The Freshmen" said that "she took a week's worth of thalium". I was further confused to learn that thalium was poisonous. Turns out it was valium.
April 18, 201511 yr In the early 60s there was a song by, I think, the Kingsmen, called "Louie, Louie" about which there was a controversy as to what the true lyrics were involving these words: "every night at 10 I --------her again." Some of the oldtimers on here may know what I'm referring to. As I recall some radio stations refused to play the song.
April 19, 201511 yr Here again, even with the help of a song title, I thought Steve Miller was saying "Big ol' Chad had a light on" instead of "Big ol' Jet Airliner" in the song "Jet Airliner", and to this day knowing that it's not what I thought, I still hear it that way. Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner - YouTube I'm not sure how this thread never touched upon "the pompitous of love."
April 19, 201511 yr Led Zeppelin's in through the out door album. The whole thing. What the heck is Mr Plant saying?? Then you got Ozzy. I can understand what he sings!! When he speaks. Not a chance... Edited April 19, 201511 yr by Colonels_Wear_Blue Capitalization
April 19, 201511 yr A few that I had to look up or I'd have no chance with: Pearl Jam: Yellow Ledbetter and Given to Fly Stone Temple Pilots: Still Remains and Trippin on a Hole... Nirvana: No one ever actually knew what the hell the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit were until Google came along. Seven Mary Three: Cumbersome. Smashing Pumpkins: Take your pick. I guess it was a 90's thing. Others: Boston: More than a Feeling. Part of the chorus came across as "My tic-tacs gone but the radio's on, eh ya." Fleetwood Mac: Tusk. Good bass. What the heck are they saying? I hear Tusk. Mister Mister: Broken Wings. Great song, but I still don't know if I know the lyrics. Heard it the other day and thought, I need to google these lyrics.
April 19, 201511 yr Off topic, but just for kicks: Without using google, does anyone A) remember Seven Mary Three? and B) know where the band's name originated?
April 19, 201511 yr I will own up to this one. The first couple of times I hear "Elvira", I thought they were saying "It'll fire up".
