Green Day Song Misunderstandings

OH wait. There was this time that I was listening to Prosthetic Head, I thought he said "You have a drought, that must be draining" and I thought that was rather queer, but witty. Then I found out that it's "You have a growth that must be treated."

I don't know how I heard that.

Um...everyone thinks She is about this girl who feels locked inside herself and confused and all this stuff, but it's actually just about Billie's ex girlfriend.

Now this has to be the stupidest misheard lyric ever.
The first time I was listening to American Idiot, whenever it said Rage and Love, I heard Rachel Love.

Everyone was amazed that I was the only person who new whatsername's real name.

I heard that too.

Whoa! I heard that too! But I thought it was supposed to be Jesus of Suburbia's mom! Because he was the son of her! I didn't figure out what he was saying for months! But then once I figured out it was Rage and Love, I felt really stupid!

Oh my god, today one of my friends who pretends to like Green Day to "impress" me was singing along to Holiday, and she made SO many mistakes! There was stuff like:

"Hear the sound of the calling pain
Coming down like a log on meadow's rain"

And then once on BOBD, she said "My shadow's only one that talks inside me."

Mmmm, and then once on Good Riddance she said "Time grabs onto your list, infects you where you go."

She annoys me. I'm like "Just stop. PLEASE."

Ooooh, but here's one of my really stupid mistakes. On Waiting, I used to think Billie said "Downtown, lights will be shining, on me, TALKING TO SIMON."

And one of my classic St.Jimmy mistakes:
"Up on the boulevard like a ZIPPED BLONDE..."

*sweetly sarcastic*:

I heard it was about Adrienne? Eh. Oh well.

Macy's Day Parade- WHEN ALL ALONG IT WAS ME AND YOU sounds to me like LESSON LEARNED IT WAS ME AND YOU

in the American Idiot songbook it says "zip lan" instead of zip gun. and then i was like ohhh....they mean zip gun.

you're quite wrong, it's about me, before i realized that i was just a nonconformist trapped inside clothing from limited too. (i was in like fourth grade when i realized this, you can't blame me) actually, i didn'thear the song in fourth grade, i heard it for the first time on september 16, 2005, when i bought international superhits!, wow i just got really off-topic. whoops. anyway...how'd you find that out? (i still think it's about me...)(sort of)

BOBD- my shadow's hearts the only thing thats beating, instead of my shallow hearts the only thing thats beating. i now stupid mistake!

No, it's not just you. I still hear that everytime I listen to it.

In Redundant, I thought "Now I Waste It, Faked It, Ate It, Now I Hate It".

Sounded Like "Now I Waste It, Faked It, Eighty, Now I Hate It".

I thought the same.

So? What really matters, is what the song means to people who listen to it.

Letterbomb.

Original: Like a flunkie only along for the ride. or something like that.

Misheard as: Fucking only once in your life.

Stuck Down In A Rut
Of Dislogic And Smut

stuck down in a rut

I thought it was about chickens too. xD

In 'Castaway', it still sounds like he's saying 'Gasoline', to me.

I heard that too.

i feel like dookie:

this thread is inspiration to me. so i've rewritten time of your life...

Another turnip on
A fork stuck in the road
You drink a bit and get so pissed
That you don’t know where to go
You seem madly possessed
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a pint that’s soaked in slime

It's something that makes you unstable
And higher than a kite
It takes at least 10 years off your life

So take the stupid laughs
And let yourself unwind
Hang it on a shelf and go lay in the grime
Tattoos, lost memories and all the time on trial
No spiritual rebirth
And you’ll be locked up a while

It's something that makes you unstable
And makes you see in black and white
It takes at least 10 years off your life

It's something that makes you unstable
And makes you need a shite
It takes at least 10 years off your life

It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

That's awesome xD Heh, you just made my day
