So... how many of you have really bad hearing when it comes to song lyrics. I prefer to have printed lyrics available whenver I like a song. Otherwise, my brain often hears totally different words. In my defense, there's nothing wrong with my hearing. I used to get it checked every year when I worked in construction and always passed with flying colors.
Think back on any old (or new) songs where you thought the lyrics said something different for quite a while before you discovered what they really were. Then post an embarrassment rating from one to five anon bags. Most of the songs lyrics I misinterpreted were songs that I heard on MuchMusic, with friends or on the radio, where I never had the albums to check and see what they were. I'll start with one:
Band: Soundgarden
Song: Rusty Cage
What I thought the lyrics were:
I'm gonna bring my, I'm gonna bring my, I'm gonna bring my rusty cage..... and run!
What the real lyrics are:
I'm gonna break my, I'm gonna break my, I'm gonna break my rusty cage..... and run!
Rating:
out of five bags. Why would someone "bring" a rusty cage with themselves anywhere? I should have caught on that it was "break". -definitely makes more sense. I think it was quite a long time before I found out that the word was "break" not "bring"
