Ask Lemmy

🎶Is this just fanta-seaaaaa 🎤🎶🎶

That Land Down Under song. I still have no idea what the women or men do but I can hear the thunder.

Nirvana, On a Plain "The finest day, I ever had, was when I learned to cry like a man."

It's supposedly "cry on command."

For a long time, I thought in the song Inagadadavida, the lyrics went '"doncha know that I love you", but it turns out, they say "l'm lovin' you".

Nice beaver by the beegees is high on my list https://youtu.be/Otmq80677V0

"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 always thought she said trampoline

“My lovers got no money, he’s got his trampoline!”

I thought that Controversy by Prince was actually called Electric Pussy. Which, for Prince, actually tracks.

I still say it makes slightly more sense in Otherside if he's saying "the cemetery where I married a thief".

We like to joke about non Spanish lyrics that sounds like Spanish. I love Apolocatv channel for that and 🐱 costumes.

"It's a corned beef sky... alright, is it some other guy..." - The Cars, Bye Bye Love

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.

Timestamp link to relevant part.

Instead of the Go Go's saying "Our lips are sealed" I thought they were saying "Honest, Lucille."

I'm here to say that I figured out "stomp on the stoop when you hear the funk loop". It took me 30 years.

“Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat, with you” - Paul Young

"Take off for nowhere" rather than "Take my breath away"

"She got too close, so I farted."

Zac Brown Band, "Knee Deep"
