^^Title.

Ever had this problem before?  Where you find the lyrics to a song and no matter how hard you try, you just can't hear said lyrics?

Well, let's talk about them here.

My most recent has to be with Weird Al's song "Party in the CIA".

At one point, the correct lyrics are:

"Need a country to destabilize"

But what I hear is:

"Need a country to stabilize"

Yeah, may be small, but it bothers me.  I just seriously cannot hear the right lyrics.

What are your instances?  Talk about them.

See ya later! :wave

One of mine, since I was a child, has been from Aladdin's One Jump Ahead.

[Aladdin:] Let's not be too hasty
[Lady:] Still I think he's rather tasty

I've always heard it as

[Aladdin:] Let's not be too hasty
[Lady:]You are stinky, rather tasty

Ehmmm...whatever floats your boat, miss...

^ I was just going to say that it was a funny coincidence you posted that, because I was listening to that very song not long ago and I too thought about "Secret Asian Man". But then I remembered that you were the one who reintroduced me to that song in the first place in the "What are you listening to?" thread.

Billy Joel - Don't Ask Me Why

At the end of the third verse, it sounds like he sings, "Don't axe me why", although I'm pretty sure this one is intentional, that he actually does sing that...

Aerosmith - Dream On

As a very little kid, I used to think the "dream on" chorus was "G-mon". I guess I thought he was singing about a Digimon or something...?

There's a lyric in "Do You Remember?" by The Beach Boys that is supposed to say "He made the guitar beats" but since Mike Love sings it so fast it sounds more like "He made the guitar pizza"  :SharptoothAmused

35 seconds into Henry Hall's old horror song "Hush Hush Hush (Here Comes the Boogeyman)" he says the line "Just pretend that you're a crocodile". For years I'd thought the line was "Just pretend that you're of proper guile", probably since the singer was recorded on 1930's technology and the lyric still fits the song pretty well.

I like that lyric a lot more, actually  :yum

Another one for me is, again, a Beach Boys song: "Little Honda". Mike says the lyric "It climbs hill like a Matchless" so fast it ends up sounding like "It climbs hills like a mattress"
