...and some Jelly Rolls.

Ever google the lyrics to your favorite (of the moment) song and find out that you've been singing along all wrong? Feel the flush of lameness fill your face? Oh, me neither, never happens to me. I am the queen of non-mishearing most definitely.

Gone away are the days where we bought CDs (flashback to me reading the inside of my Janet Jackson "Janet" CD and dying over the words in the song "If" and my Aunt Cindy telling my grandma that someone needed to take that CD away from me. NOW!) and were able to open the cover and finally descipher what ever piece of a song we were just mumbling through.

So the other day I was listening to the song "Power" by Kanye West. Wait!! Don't unfriend or unfollow me. It's catchy, I can't help it. And there is a line in it where Kayne says "...with some light skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands." Well, I might have thought, the first few times I heard it, that he said "...with some light skinned girls and some Jelly Rolls." Maybe. Hey, he could really like Jelly Rolls, I mean they look tasty, no? If you should ever take a listen (about 49 secs in) you gotta tell me if you think it sounds like Jelly Rolls to you too.



Anyway, that got my nerd self thinking about other misheard-by-moi songs that have happened over the years.

Muse - Time Is Running Out

C heard lyric - "Now that you know I'm trapped, since ovulation. You'd never think of breaking this fixation"

Real lyric - " Now that you know I'm trapped, sense of elation. You'd never think of breaking this fixation"


Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away Now

C heard lyric (take pity, I was a child) - "Bob Marley, rollin in a bucket"

Real Lyric - "Bob Marley, poet and a prophet"


Oh, and my mom once misheard Mariah Carey's "My All" as "My Arm", now that was seriously some humor action right there. Hee hee. Anyway, well I probably have a lot more misheard songs, but off the top of my head, that's all that I've got. If you have any misheard song stories I wanna hear em yo.
