Poll: I can write lacrosse-sticks, can you?

[Zak]

1. Have you ever made a mistake in hearing a certain song lyric or line from a script which you later found quite humorous?

2. Do you know anyone else who has? What are some great classic ones you remember?


1. Let's see... well, there are a bunch for me. As for the title, I remember hearing people who were into poetry talk about acrostics, and I had no idea what that was, and we were learning to play lacrosse in gym, and I thought they were talking about lacrosse sticks.
Most of my misheard lyrics come from non-english songs, so you wouldnt get them... I can't think of any right now that I thought myself.

2. Well, there's the classic "Excuse me while I kiss this guy", along with some others I remember:
-"Barney is the king of Israel" (born as)
-"...And to the republic for Richard stands..."


meh, braindead, I know they aren't that funny, before any moron decides to yell "OMG STOP TRYING TO BE TEH FUNEE"... at least this poll will hopefully get some better replies.

1. Yeah. For years and years, I thought Will Smith was singing "chucking some meatball outside the school" in the theme of Fresh Prince. About a year ago, Rebecca (T_M_L) told me it was "B-Ball", not "Meatball". Despite that, I still hear it as "Meatball". lol

2. In one of Peter Kay's (he's a great comedian, if you don't know him) first appearences on TV, he pointed out that it sounds like Celine Dion is singing "I believe that the hot dogs go on" in the "Hearts does go on". My whole family saw that, so all our brains have been infected. lol Whenever that song comes on, we always laugh at the chorus.

Well, I still can't figure out some of the words on the Pokemon 2000 CD. (Mostly from "Polkamon".) My mom told me that for years she thought that "Forever in Blue Jeans" (in the song with the same name, I believe) was instead "Reverend Blue Jeans".

Hmm... 'where's my Elvis' from Vanilla Radio somehow got heard as 'shing shang my office' by certain Espeon obsessives I happen to know... :P I'm sure there's an even better one than this but can't actually remember atm. :(

1. Only one I can remember is that the first time I heard the song a few years ago, I nearly could've sworn R. Kelly was saying 'be a thong' in that one song, until my brother had to correct because it was really 'thoia thoing'. Strange, indeed.

2. My mom once thought that the Metallica song 'Master of Puppets' was 'Mahsta of Pornos' until she heard it once. I could care less for the band, but that has always cheered me up when I feel pessimistic about music.

1. Yep, I thought that wherefore art thou Romeo was Juliet talking to a painting cause I couldn't understand anything except "Art" (saw R & J as a movie before reading it)

2. Well, my friend got Medicine Man confused with magical hand in the pantera song :o

1. - Vagina, be playful, shake up your hair tonight. (Correct lyrics were 'beat time, be playful, shake up your hair tonight)
- You'r just sick for some sex. (Correct lyrics were success)

2. Sure.

It's not really the same thing, but in PE, this kid was looking at my friend Brad's crotchal region in the shower for an unacceptable time. During band, we told Matt about it. He sits down at the piano and starts playing piano man and sings "Jeremy is a real estate novelist, who never had time for a wife. He sits in the shower and stares at Brad Howard, and probably will be for life"
