Misheard Song Lyrics.

[Tim D.]

In the Cheap Trick song Dream Police I hear "the dream police they come to pee in my bed," instead of "the dream police come to me in my bed".

And in the Phil Collins song In The Air Tonight I (and just about everyone I know) hears "I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord" instead of I can feel it coming in the air tonight hold on".

No way! It's "hold on"? Really?

When I was a kid I thought the National Anthem spoke of God shedding His grapes on me.

...one of the many DJ's I've known over they years, at our local station group-once proudly proclaimed...."and that was John Denver with Sunshine on My Soldier!"....

Have y'all ever really liked a song without knowing what the words were and then didn't like the song as much when you did find out what the words were? I loved Billie Jean by Michael Jackson until I googled the words lol.

Story of my life... There are lots of songs I loved in English from when I was a French little girl with no understanding of the language that really disappointed me when I learnt the language and understood. I had often lent a far deeper meaning to the song in my mind to what it came to when I finally understood.

So... during the theme song to Family Guy, is Stewie saying:

1) laugh n cry or
2) effin' cry

I've always thought it's 2) effin' cry, because Stewie is such a lil sh1t.

DH and I disagree. He thinks 1) and I think 2). Does that make him a better person than me?

Nah!

Jeeze another concert I saw in a small venue. Two sets of drums. Going 10 minutes before he even walked out.

"There's a bathroom on the right."

-It SHOULD be
"there's a bad moon on the rise."

I had to look up Family Guy.

I found this: Theme Song - Family Guy Wiki

• During the show's run, Stewie's line "Laugh and cry" has commonly been mistaken as "effin' cry". In the third season, to make the "l" more audible, Seth MacFarlane rerecorded the line. When the show was revived, the original recording of the line was used and has been ever since. This is referenced in "Friends of Peter G", when Peter, very drunk, asks if there truly is a difference while he shoos Stewie away. When the cast of Family Guy was on Inside the Actors Studio, Seth stated that "'effin' cry' lyrically makes no sense." In the uncensored version of "Call Girl", Stewie sets up a cutaway of having difficulty during the theme song. The ensuing cutaway features a burst of profanity from Stewie that far exceeds 'effin' cry'.

No, wait. I got that backwards. He says "oh lord" but I hear "hold on". I hear it wrong and apparently can't type it correctly either.

No, wait. I got that backwards. He says "oh lord" but I hear "hold on". I hear it wrong and apparently can't type it correctly either.

And here I thought I'd been so clever all this time for hearing it correctly as "hold on".

 

[Out of Order]

No, wait. I got that backwards. He says "oh lord" but I hear "hold on". I hear it wrong and apparently can't type it correctly either.

Either way, it's an awful song.

 

[Tim D.]

And here I thought I'd been so clever all this time for hearing it correctly as "hold on".

I looked it up once and every lyric source I found says the lyrics are "oh lord", but for thirty years I've heard "hold on" every single time I listen to it. At least I'm not alone.
