Title: Incomprehensible singing
Post by: maverickf1jockey on August 19, 2007, 04:28:05 PM: Ok guys, I fancied starting a thread about misheard lyrics.
Please post the misheard lyrics, the song title, the singer and the artist. The next person rates it for how close to the original it actually sounds.
I'll star off with the worst diction I can think of off the top of my head.
UNDER A GLASS MOON
DREAM THEATER - JAMES LABRIE

Liquid shadows, canned margerine
Liquid shadows silence their screams.
A spider at the mark chasing water from the sky
I argue with the clowns stealing beauty from my arse

(LATER...)
Buy a pen.
I'm a w**ker.
Baby sauna in my name.

(the original lyrics don't make that much sense either :wink: )

EDIT-or not as it may now seem.

The drummer of my band once wrote out the lyrics for us to sing-My Girl and wrote- I got more honey than the birds engineered instead of "Got so much honey that the bees envy me" and for "Whiskey in the Jar" wrote "I first produced my pistol and then produced my ray gun"-he was serious.

Post by: maverickf1jockey on August 20, 2007, 10:16:02 PM: that Trivium one was right on the money.
To be fair the Under a glass moon stuff was an adaptation of some youtube stuff.
Also a lyric from 'take the time'
I need a new lawn, new voice, new wig!

Post by: blue on August 20, 2007, 11:21:39 PM: there'a a System Of A Down song where he shouts "they like to push the weak around". without thinking about it for ages i thought he said "push the WIG around"!! in fairness, some of their lyrics are a bit odd :roll:

Post by: Orkestra on August 21, 2007, 01:09:13 PM: hmmm... my band; Aghast are pretty suspect for such things...

in one of our songs it sounds like our vocalist is singing

'imitation sausage covers Michael flaterly'

whereas the lyrics actually

'imitations' the sincerest form of flattery'

classy

'Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard'
or
'Sue Lawley, Sue Lawley, Sue Lawley...'
or even
"Me ears are alight.'

Post by: ilÿti on May 22, 2008, 05:50:37 PM: The Dream Theater ones are the best.

Hitting on these GUUYYS
Stepping on a woooooorrrm
Healing on his SPINE
Clutching to his CAAWW-AWWK
NOT THE BIGGEST ARSE TO SEE
UP AND UP, $%&# IT UP
NOT MUCH BREAD FOR THE MAN YOU AAAAA-AAAAAA-AAAATE

Post by: maverickf1jockey on May 22, 2008, 06:33:49 PM: I listened to Octavarium from the Score DVD yesterday and in between stuff I can't decipher I'm sure I heard James Labrie listing Beatles songs.

Off the top of my head I can remember 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds' being in that verse.

Yes. He's the whole verse:

"Sailing on the seven seize the day tripper Diem's ready
Jack the Ripper Owen Wilson Phillips and my Supper's ready
Lucy in the Sky with diamond Dave's not here I come to save the Day for
Nightmare Cinema show me the way to get back home again"

It's a pretty damn weird part of the song. It was a game that Mike Portnoy came up with, to connect song titles and pop-culture phenomenons to each other in a way that it almost makes sense but not really.
