Green Day Song Misunderstandings

in this song it says 'i now your game' and i thought 'i was i know your gay' i only found out what it really was a few days ago

in Bab's Uvula Who? I thought 'Tension mounts and I fly off the wall' was 'Touch your nuts then go fly off the wall...'

umm this isn't a Green Day song but In "Safe European Home" by The Clash at the end when they repeat the same thing over and over I thought it said "Oh! Your a peein' ho..."
i was like

Not So Perfect:

In Good Riddance I thought that the part 'test and don't ask why' was something along the lines of 'tasenoscaqui'..or something. Then I read the lyrics. I'm stupid...I know.

Ahaha thats cute.
I used to think it was "take all the pornographs" instead of photographs

on Jesus of Suburbia,
when it says " Sodapop and ritalin",
i thought it said "started popping ritalin."

yeah. :]

Sakah:

In Extraordinary Girl

"Wiping matches from her eyes"-Misheard lyrics

"Wiping tears from her eyes"-Real lyrics (I think)

All The Time

"Ramen Seuss, ramen Seuss"-Misheard lyrics

"Promises, promises"-Real lyrics

Gosh, I need to check my hearing

In Extraordinary Girl, I heard that too! I heard 'wiping mathces from her eyes' insted of 'wiping the tears from her eyes'. =D

My bro thought that the lyrics..
"This is a public service announcment, this is only a test."
from Warning were..
"This is a public service announcment, this from Layatess"

appearently he thought 'Layatess' was a goverment thing.

Meh Orange Elephant.:

And he's a government official?

Layatess?

In Extraordinary Girl, I thought "from her heart's apolocoplyspe" was "from her heart to park her lips". And then "like a pet left in the rain" was "a book left in the rain" and I'm all like "why would a book have any courage whether it was wet or not?"

and I thought "St. Jimmy's comin to town across the allway up on the boulevard like a zip code on parade" was "St. Jimmy's goin down across me anyway up on the boulevard like a snowcone on parade".

Also, this is a huuuuge misunderstanding. I only heard of Green Day when AI came out. I didn't know a damn thing about the album. My friend gave me a copy for Christmas and I'm all like "why is Jesus of Suburbia in every song????" and I thought that was like Billie Joe's "thing". And St. Jimmy...I thought his name was really Jimmy. I swear to God. And I went around asking all my friends if his name was Jimmy and Gabi was like "I think so."

So I put the CD in my computer and in WMP, it came up on Homecoming and JOS as "Green Day, Billie Joe, Tre Cool, Mike Dirnt." I had no idea who any of those people were. I thought Tre Cool was some lady. I asked Gabi and she's like Billie Joe is the piano man." I was like "I thought that was Billy Joel" and she was telling me its the same thing.

Later, I looked up Green Day. And Billie Joe came up. And I'm all "He's the midget-angel who made my heart stop? *obsess*"

Ehm...


*thinks back before I knew the lyrics*

i honestly have NO CLUE.

Favorite Son:

What I hear-

"Where's your fucking champion?
On a panty raid!"

What it actually says-

"Where's your fucking champion?
On the bed you laid!"

In Good Riddance, when it says "Time grabs you by the wrist", I thought he said, "Tom grabs you by the wrist".

I was listening to Jaded earlier.
I thought "Somebody keep my balance"
was "Somebody paint my pants"

"King for a day, briches by dawn."

I made fourth graders listen to Blood Sex and Booze. They were like "Wow, it's so cool!"

They didn't understand the lyrics. I didn't bother letting them know.

Umm....
*Jaded*
Real lyrics -- Always move forward, going straight will get you nowhere
Silly old me -- Always move forward, going in circles will get you nowhere.
[ I was wondering why it didn't fit at all ]

*KIng For A Day*
Real lyrics -- King for a day, Princess by dawn, King for a day, in a leather thong.
Silly old me -- King for a day, waiting for the throne, King for a day, i have lost my thong.
Oh God, what a muppet. But a suppose the "waiting for the throne" bit does fit in with King for a Day. I didn't even realize it was about someone in drag when I first heard it. I was like, "why did his daddy throw him in therapy? That's mean. He's King!"
Yeah. I'm a bit slow when it comes to those things.

By the way, lyrical_mess, you ain't the only one. I wanted the American Idiot album because I liked American Idiot, WMUWSE and BOBD so when I got it I thought the whole JOS & Jimmy thing was about Billie. I thought it was his state of mind. And Jimmy was his imaginary friend in his mind. [ Sorry, Billie, I know you're not that insane now ].
I knew who Billie Joe was, I don't know how because no-one I knew liked Green Day. However, I didn't know who was Mike and who was Tre when I first got the American Idiot album. I had to get a screensaver of Green Day with their names written underneath them until I'd learnt who they were.

Us silly n00bs.

Mechanical_Chick'05:

CazGD01:

i thought that in Boulevard Of Broken Dreams it said 'But it's only me and i walk alone'
but it don't, it says 'but it's HOME TO me and i walk alone'

I made that same mistake too.

It doesn't say "It's only me" ?????

Wow. And to think I've had that CD forever. lol

In warning where it says 'may impair your ability to operate machinery'
I used to think it was 'may repair your abilty to operate the shitary!'
Perhaps i should go see a doctor about my hearing lol
