Re: Famous misheard lyrics of our time.

I used to work with a woman who was convinced for quite a while that Eminem's Real Slim Shady was about golfer Wayne Grady.

Will the real Wayne Grady please stand up?

Nirvana "Come as you are"

I still don't know if the lyric is "I don't have a God" or "i don't have a gun"

For many years after 1st hearing Jeff Becks 'Hi Ho Silver Lining' I thought the last part of the chorus that went 'though it's obvious' was actually 'throwing toffee nuts'

Always been deaf as a post me

My three year old runs around singing such modified classics as:

"Transformers! Flying in the sky"
"She'll be coming round on Monday when she comes."
and my personal favourite,
"Your evening of swing and a cat song."

I used to think that "got my mind on something else" in a Travis song was "got my mind on sibilance". At least it allowed me to remember what sibilance was and helped me to an awesome D grade in English Language A-level. I'm dead smart, me.

If there is any word you can't quite catch in a Nirvana song, then 'gun' is a good bet.

Ironic, innit?
