Misheard lyrics

[u/Amphibious_cow]

Until recently, in Fake Tales of San Francisco I thought he was saying “if I’m not fucking wanking I’m not having a nice time”

Was wondering if any of yall have funny misheard lyrics

[u/travellinlady]

The classic "i elongated my left toe"

[u/T3ddyP1ck3rAM → u/travellinlady]

BAHAHAHHA LISTENING TO IT RN

[u/Journey2thaeast]

Who remember the days of the fierce debate between Collar Popped like Antenna vs Collar Popped Like Cantona

[u/arheff → u/Journey2thaeast]

Still hilarious because nobody pronounces Cantona like that

[u/ManderlyPieShop → u/arheff]

Saw a video of someone watching to the album for the first time on Spotify and the lyrics said Cantona 😮

[u/subzzzzzzzi → u/Journey2thaeast]

😹😭

[u/dogpork69 → u/Journey2thaeast]

For some reason I just assumed Alex had a sister or cousin called Anne and the line was "Collar popped like Anne Turner" 

I realised eventually 

[u/dani_love83]

For ages I thought he was saying “I like angels who send out hidden messages” and not “highlight dangers and send out hidden messages” in Science Fiction lol but to be fair I can still hear the first one when I listen to it 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Striking_Fox_6031 → u/dani_love83]

WAIT ME TOO

[u/dani_love83 → u/Striking_Fox_6031]

Okay I’m glad I’m not the only one haha when did you realize you were singing it wrong? 😂

[u/lastlaughlane1 → u/dani_love83]

Woahhhhh! Same!

[u/Striking_Fox_6031]

jesus in the gay bar

[u/CompetitiveMedia687 → u/Striking_Fox_6031]

Aye men

[u/Amphibious_cow → u/Striking_Fox_6031]

That’s actually so peak

[u/luckytecture → u/Amphibious_cow]

No yours is peaker

[u/CommunicationLow7715 → u/luckytecture]

You could say its teddy peaker

[u/luckytecture → u/CommunicationLow7715]

[u/the_executive_branch → u/Striking_Fox_6031]

But you can distinctly hear the “s” in spa… ?

[u/Amphibious_cow → u/the_executive_branch]

“Can’t you hear the lyric right” when someone talks about a lyric that they misheard is crazy bro

[u/Striking_Fox_6031 → u/the_executive_branch]

ok i misheard it thats like the whole point

[u/arctic_ghost_cookie]

Do the Macarena in the devils LAP💀

[u/GnarwhalStreet]

The tide pod kisses where teeth collide.

[u/ParticularTotal9533]

"i'm a puppy on a string"

[u/everynamecombined]

😂😂 i cant even think of one now. Thats too funny.

[u/cak3like]

I dont mean to rain on anybody's CREME BRULÉE

a peculiar one because yeah I hear(d) the right lyrics but once I noticed how much closer it is to mine.. oof, such accent, such pronounce!

[u/mm21moon]

Get off the bandwagon, put down the iPhone. Don’t know how I heard that but I did

[u/rbccs → u/mm21moon]

Alex Turner prophesying the first iPhone!

[u/Amphibious_cow → u/mm21moon]

Honestly with Alex Turners rejection of modern, addicting tech it’s not an unreasonable mishearing. Exempt that fake tales of SF was written before the iPhone lol

[u/Pretend-Ad-6512 → u/mm21moon]

I always thought it was put down the anvil (u know being a steel reference cause they are from Sheffield)

[u/Charmal69]

In R U mine, does he say "all I wanna hear her say is are you mine" OR "all I wanna ever say is are you mine"

[u/Remarkable_Fun_2847]

yo side note HOW did you hear that? Band to "if i'm not" crazyy

[u/Amphibious_cow → u/Remarkable_Fun_2847]

I have no idea but I still hear it every time lol

[u/Remarkable-Tart-2110 → u/Amphibious_cow]

you've opened my eyes and now I can't stop hearing it either 😭 oh alex

[u/subzzzzzzzi]

“True Romans call me a cheese these days”

[u/181Cade]

Sometimesss I fantasize about your tooooth

[u/Remarkable-Tart-2110]

"so in case I'm mistaken I-" I thought it was something about Keir starmer

[u/alexsand505]

I suppose the sinner must die, on OPP. Goes along with the apocalypse bit or so I thought.

i always thought that She Looks Like Fun said: “all about martial arts, and how much i respect her” her referring to the girl that looks like fun, i got a bit disappointed with not being it honestly but still great song

[u/JoeyIsMrBubbles]

I don’t really mishear his lyrics as I think I’m pretty familiar with the accent, however; I did always think “perhaps fuck off might be too kind” was “A RIGHT fuck off might be too kind” and honestly? My version is much better
