I just listened to Horible Day and I pissed myself laughing. You are a bad bad man for planting that thought in my head.

Well, we may as well turn this into the official mis-hearing thread and have a little re-cap.
My husband is still walking around singing, "Mashed Potato Blues" instead of "That's the Jaina blues."
Ramona first heard, "I thought I'd grab a taste of the hills of Central France" instead of "I thought I'd gravitate to the hills of Central France."
Andy originally thought, "Maybe we'll park and I'll drive" was "Maybe we'll fuck . . . nine times."
Any others?

i don't have my original SMYT sleeve anymore so i can't check
(i didn't sell it or anything-long story)but does he say 'there goes Nadine,
at the toe-in block or is it towing block? maybe he is singing about a car (towing block)
or Nadine from twin peaks (she had skin like a ghost and went nuts and thought
she was still in high school so they let her act out and she went back to school as though
she were still 17 (she was late thirtyish)and she went out for track (toe in block/starter
block for runners??)-I figure this one to be a loong shot.
-but what is he saying??
ciao now, round cow |

Until I read the words, I thought in "When Will Happiness Find Me Again?" he was saying "the pigeons around us were clean." With pigeons having a reputation as a "dirty bird," I thought this was a clever way of implying how pure the love was in the beginning. Maybe I just spent too much time thinking about it.
Nothing is ever something. |

I've always thought that he said 'That girl got skin like a post,' I don't have the lyrics though so I am not sure???
Who's the man that won't cop out when there's danger all about? |

"That girl got skin like a ghost."
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

What happened to everybody's lyrics????!!!!
I have to admit, I did think Frank said "grab a taste...of the hills of Central France" at first.

And then there's the part in "Nadine" where he sings "I think that witchy lady / Is cooking up some SPAM"

My sons were singing 'A mashed potato says my name' instead of 'hermaphroditos is my name'
Maybe Franks fans have a thing for mashed potatoes.....

Hey, what can I say? We're a starch-loving crowd.
I'll have to listen more closely to my daughter singing "Manitoba" and see if she's somehow working "potato" into her lyrics as well.

Um,
Mer,
my name is andy.
That's why I said something about girls adoring me before.
Um,
Uh, what the fuck are you talking about in that quoted statement, becuause I want to know if either I don't fucking understand or I don't know, which is an awkward position intellectually. iS that your husband's name too?
I'm sure it is some reference to something either other than me, or soemething way over my head, andY think it is about me because I am a joint-head. Please clarify my confusion if posssible and convinient.
Thank you Mer.

Is this the only thread on mis-heard lyrics? Are there other ones that include albums other than SMYT?

There's been a lot of name-related befuddlement around here this week. Sorry for the confusion, LBF. I meant Ten Percenter Andy MacGregor Andy. I forgot that you were an Andy too. We have Multiple Andys. Or would that be Andies? Anyway, Ten Percenter thought the lyric was "maybe we'll fuck . . . nine times."
Y'know, if you type "Andy" enough, it starts to look weird. And I'm not even stoned.

I thought "Old Black Dawning" was "Old McDonny"... until I checked my cd case today.
