SPEAKER_00 0:14

Welcome to the Cashley Show. We are Kevin and Ashley. We started this podcast after recent tragedies to take a break from negativity and discover the good news happening all around us. Today we are talking about misheard lyrics. Get ready to laugh, remember some great moments, and maybe even wonder about your own karaoke skills as we look at the funniest musical mix-ups ever.

SPEAKER_02 0:37

I already misheard you because in the beginning you said misheard. So I th I thought you were we were gonna talk about like this lady, like a teacher who did something. Then you followed up with lyrics and I was like, oh okay, yeah. So it's already happening.

SPEAKER_00 0:52

The first one is The Beatles. The song I Want to Hold Your Hand came out in 1964.

SPEAKER_01 0:59

I Wanna Hold Your Hand.

SPEAKER_00 1:01

I don't think I know the song.

SPEAKER_02 1:02

It's a Beatles song. How could you not know it?

SPEAKER_00 1:05

I don't love the Beatles.

SPEAKER_02 1:06

Did your parents not love you? Is that why they didn't expose you to the Beatles?

SPEAKER_00 1:09

They I don't remember them listening to the The Beatles. The next one is The Beach Boys, which I know we listened to that.

SPEAKER_02 1:15

Yeah. So what's the misheard lyric about?

SPEAKER_00 1:19

It's actually the title, I Want to Hold Your Hand. So I think that it was a lot easier to mix up lyrics years ago when you couldn't just Google it. So has made many people laugh when they mishear the line as I want to hold your ham, H A M.

SPEAKER_02 1:39

That one doesn't even make any sense though.

SPEAKER_00 1:41

None of these make sense. They're just funny. They're just funny.

SPEAKER_02 1:45

It's a weird Al Yankovich parody.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

And it's funny how many of like there's a few in here that are the title of the song that people apparently don't know the title of it or think that later on they say ham instead of hand.

SPEAKER_02 2:02

I've never thought that it said ham.

SPEAKER_00 2:06

The next one is the Beach Boys Help Me Ronda. It came out in 1965. I do not know this song, I don't think.

SPEAKER_01 2:13

Help me Ronda. Help Help Me Ronda. No?

SPEAKER_02 2:18

Okay, what do people Help Me like Honda? Like the vehicle?

SPEAKER_00 2:22

Is that what the real lyric is well since she put me down, I've been out doing in my head. I don't even know what that means. But people hear, well, since you put me down, there's been owls puking in my bed.

SPEAKER_02 2:40

Those poets I never know what they mean. You gotta decipher their words.

SPEAKER_00 2:47

That's deep. The next one is the monkeys. I'm a believer from 1967.

SPEAKER_02 2:56

Isn't this in it's in a movie that I watched recently?

SPEAKER_00 3:00

Shrek?

SPEAKER_02 3:01

Yes, right. I appreciate that's what it is.

SPEAKER_00 3:08

Now I'm a believer. Now I'm a believer is often misheard as then I saw her face, now I'm gonna leave her.

SPEAKER_01 3:17

She ugly. That's mean.

SPEAKER_02 3:25

I'll have to listen to the like the actual the old song, right? Yeah. The one from back then.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

See, and I think maybe these people didn't enunciate their words well. I don't know. Seems sure some of these are kind of hard.

SPEAKER_02 3:40

They do that a lot in songs even now.

SPEAKER_00 3:42

Yeah. The next one is Elchin John Tiny Dancer. Came out in 1972.

SPEAKER_02 3:48

I think everyone's heard this one, thanks to friends.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

Many people remember the lyric, Hold Me Closer, Tiny Dancer. But people hear it as Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza.

SPEAKER_02 3:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:59

You knew that one?

SPEAKER_02 4:00

Yeah, I've I've heard this one before. It was on Friends. Oh, yeah. Back in the yeah, back in the 90s.

SPEAKER_00 4:05

Should have known that because I watched Friends. The next one is Kiss. Rock and roll all night from 1975.

SPEAKER_02 4:14

And part of every day.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

Yeah, that is. I so yeah, so the lyric is I want to rock and roll all night and part of every day. But people hear, I want to rock and roll all night and party every day.

SPEAKER_02 4:32

Is that not the so what one's the actual lyrics?

SPEAKER_00 4:35

It says the real line is all rock and roll all night and part of every day, not party every day. Are you sure? That's what it said.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

No. Do you look it up right now?

SPEAKER_00 4:48

I think the party every day sounds better.

SPEAKER_02 4:52

Yeah. It sounds way better. Sounds much more like a a rock and roll band who's just going crazy and living the life. I wonder if they wish that they had made that the lyrics then, like after the fact. This is probably the only one I'm gonna guess in the whole list where the misheard lyrics are better than the real lyrics if that's the case. If what you're saying is the case, because that's what I thought I said also.

SPEAKER_01 5:14

And party every day.

SPEAKER_02 5:16

Because you're gonna rock and roll all night and then you're gonna rock and roll part of the day. Like you went from a rock and roll rock star to like a 60-year-old man real fast.

SPEAKER_00 5:25

Maybe I mixed it up because this says it is party every day.

SPEAKER_02 5:29

Yeah, that makes more sense. Rock and roll band. Only only rocking part of every day.

SPEAKER_00 5:36

Sorry, I messed it up.

SPEAKER_02 5:38

That's alright. I'm here for fact checking. Don't worry, everyone.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

Alright, next one, Abba, dancing queen from 1976. Dancing queen. The line is fill the beat from the tambourine. But people hear it as fill the beat on the tangerine.

SPEAKER_02 6:04

These misheard lyrics are just kind of crazy. Like they eat so many oranges that they write a song about feeling the beat in the side of the I don't know. I mean, I'm sure you could, right? If you like had a had like some theme. Because like you can feel it in balloons at parties, right? You can feel like the music and stuff like in the balloon. So I'm I'm guessing you could maybe also in a dantry.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

Sometimes people should think this doesn't make any sense. Maybe this isn't right.

SPEAKER_02 6:37

Like part of every day.

SPEAKER_00 6:40

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 6:41

What kind of rock stars only rock part of every day?

SPEAKER_00 6:44

They're usually asleep because they partied all night.

SPEAKER_02 6:47

You don't go to sleep, you just take more, and then you go.

SPEAKER_00 6:52

Nah. Alright, next one. ACDC, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap from 1976. Yeah. My nephew used to sing this song when he was young, like four or five.

SPEAKER_02 7:05

Nice. Good. Classic. It's good music.

SPEAKER_00 7:09

The title line often confuses listeners. The line is actually Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, but people sing it as Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief.

SPEAKER_02 7:20

Dirty Deeds and Dun Dirty Chief. I don't know. It's commonly at least kind of fun.

SPEAKER_03 7:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:28

Like who's the Thunder Chief? Who are the Dirty Deeds? That's like a bandit gang and their leader. Now I want to know more about the story of the Dirty Deeds and their Thunder Chief.

SPEAKER_00 7:43

But also the title of the song is mixed up.

SPEAKER_02 7:47

Yeah, I mean it's right there in the title.

SPEAKER_00 7:50

The next one is Eagles Hotel California from 1976.

SPEAKER_02 7:55

It's funny, like all of these songs are super famous and like classic. And so I don't know. These misheard lyrics are just kind of interesting. And they're not like one-off bands or different things. Like these are big songs.

SPEAKER_00 8:09

Yeah. So the most recent one I found was from 2015. So they're not as misheard as they used to be, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 8:18

Right, because people are just they they're looking them up or they're watching YouTube with uh closed caption on.

SPEAKER_00 8:24

Yeah. It's easier to not mix them up now.

SPEAKER_02 8:28

Have you ever watched a music video with the sound off? Like no sound, closed caption off. And so you're just watching these people dance around. Yeah, dance and like the things that they do in music videos with no music and like no context, and it's just wild. They're just crazy people.

SPEAKER_00 8:46

That's funny. The line is on a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

On a dark desert highway, cool.

SPEAKER_02 8:55

I'm probably gonna sing a lot of these because they're they're good songs.

SPEAKER_00 8:58

They are good. Some people hear a creamier version, cool whip in my hair.

SPEAKER_02 9:03

Cool whip. Nice. That at least like makes a little bit of sense. Like you're out and you got some cool whip in your hair from activities, Ashley.

SPEAKER_00 9:15

I don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_03 9:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Next one is Queen. Okay. We will rock you from 1977. The famous line, kicking your can all over the place, is often misheard as kicking your cat all over the place.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

Because I'm just that much of a bad A. Coming here, I'm gonna kick your cat.

SPEAKER_00 9:39

Next one is Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.

SPEAKER_03 9:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:44

You're the one that I want from 1978. This electrifying you've got chills, they're multiplying, is hilariously misheard as you've got shoes, they're made of plywood.

SPEAKER_02 9:58

Whoa. That one took a turn. How does that do the original line first?

SPEAKER_00 10:04

I've got chills, I've got chills, they're multiplying. I've got shoes, they're made of plywood.

SPEAKER_02 10:11

No, okay. No. That's like those are the two that are mixed up. I've got chills they're multiplying, and I've got shoes they're made of plywood.

SPEAKER_00 10:20

I've got shoes, they're made of plywood. I don't know. Too fast. I'm glad I don't have shoes of plywood there.

SPEAKER_01 10:30

They multiply, they're made plywood. Maybe I guess.

SPEAKER_02 10:34

You gotta throw some twang on it or some stank to like multiply into plywood. I guess.

SPEAKER_00 10:42

The next one is the Rolling Stones Beast of Burden from 1978. Instead of I'll never be your beast of burden, some hungry listeners might sing I'll never leave your pizza burning. That's so nice.

SPEAKER_02 10:59

That's how I know you really love me.

SPEAKER_00 11:01

I won't burn your pizza base.

SPEAKER_02 11:03

Yeah. Burnt pizza is probably the only pizza that's not very good. Like cause cold pizza, day old pizza, but burnt pizza. Just kind of done.

SPEAKER_00 11:13

Yeah. Maybe uh doughy pizza.

SPEAKER_02 11:16

And also, I don't know if I know this song. What was it? Rolling Stones, Beast of Burden?

SPEAKER_00 11:21

Beast of Burden and Rolling Stones from 1978. Oh, you don't know one of these?

SPEAKER_02 11:27

Maybe I just don't know the title. Alright, we listened to the song and neither one of us have ever heard it before.

SPEAKER_00 11:33

No. The next one is The Police.

SPEAKER_02 11:36

So the pizza got left burning because we've never heard that song before.

SPEAKER_00 11:41

So we wouldn't know to check on the pizza. We wouldn't. The Police So Lonely from 1978. The chorus So Lonely transforms into I'm Sue Lolly.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

I'm Soulali.

SPEAKER_00 11:54

I'm Sue Lolly.

SPEAKER_02 11:57

I'm Sue Lolly.

SPEAKER_00 12:00

Yeah. Like S-U-E Sue Lolly. L-A-W-L-E-Y. I'm Sue Lolly.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

I wonder if like I don't know it really anything about the police, but several of these bands are from like the UK and different stuff like that, right? So I wonder if it has anything to do with their accents. Yeah, just the way they say words differently.

SPEAKER_00 12:20

Yeah. Alright, the next one is from ABBA. So uh this one's maybe Chiquita?

SPEAKER_02 12:27

The little girl banana?

SPEAKER_00 12:29

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 12:34

I would say your Spanish is non-existent. True. Chiquiquita?

SPEAKER_00 12:39

Chiquiquita. From 1979. The heartfelt chiquiquita, tell me what's wrong, is sometimes hilariously butchered as take your teeth out, tell me what's wrong.

SPEAKER_02 12:53

My teeth are out. That's what's wrong.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

It's a difficult word. I I get it.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

Yeah, and if if it's Spanish and you're you don't speak Spanish, you would try and figure out what it was in sp in in English.

SPEAKER_00 13:06

Yeah, and isn't isn't ABBA like from Europe?

SPEAKER_02 13:10

I think so.

SPEAKER_00 13:12

So that probably makes saying Spanish words a little more difficult too. Because they have their accent.

SPEAKER_02 13:18

Well, yeah, but they have Spain.

SPEAKER_00 13:20

Yeah. But like I think they're from Norway or something, aren't they?

SPEAKER_02 13:24

I have no idea.

SPEAKER_00 13:24

I love looking at them. Sweden.

SPEAKER_02 13:27

Sweden. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:28

So that might make Spanish words a little harder to understand.

SPEAKER_02 13:32

A little harder to say.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

The next is the police.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Another one?

SPEAKER_00 13:38

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around from 1980. It's kind of long, so it seems like. The lyric, you make the best of what's still around, gets a culinary twist when fans hear you make the best homemade stew around.

SPEAKER_02 13:57

Of course, rock stars are gonna love stew. Why would they not sing about it? They sing about tangerines.

SPEAKER_00 14:05

They're good. And cool whip.

SPEAKER_02 14:07

Cool whip, yeah. I think people are just hungry. Sounds like people are just hungry.

SPEAKER_00 14:11

So too.

SPEAKER_02 14:12

So they're hearing food.

SPEAKER_00 14:14

Alright, the next one is Journey Open Arms from 1981. The emotional line open arms is often misheard as the much less romantic broken arms.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

Oh that romance took a turn.

SPEAKER_00 14:29

Here's my open arms. Here's my broken arms.

SPEAKER_02 14:31

My broken arms.

SPEAKER_00 14:32

The next one is Toto, Africa from 1982. The epic there's nothing.

SPEAKER_02 14:39

Is that the song? Who's well how does it go? The rains down in Africa. Yeah, that one. How does it start? Who stopped the rains? Is that what it is? I don't know. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:51

Epic, there's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do. Turns to intergalactic with the misheard. There's nothing that a hundred men from Mars could ever do.

SPEAKER_02 15:06

Because there are no men from Mars. It's a dead planet. Sorry, people.

SPEAKER_00 15:11

Alright, the next one is Eurythmix.

SPEAKER_02 15:14

I never heard this.

SPEAKER_00 15:16

Sweet dreams are made of this. Sweet dreams. I haven't heard of the song, but didn't know.

SPEAKER_02 15:21

Yeah. Yeah, I never heard that name before.

SPEAKER_00 15:24

This one's from 1983.

SPEAKER_02 15:26

Okay. Good year. That was a really good year.

SPEAKER_00 15:29

Annie Lennox vocals make many people hear sweet dreams are made of cheese.

SPEAKER_02 15:37

So hungry. Cheese too.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

Made of this, made of cheese. And I thought it was these. Because when she says it, it doesn't sound like this. Sweet dreams are made of this. I thought it was sweet dreams are made of these. Not that that makes sense either.

SPEAKER_02 15:54

And that doesn't make sense. So then you gotta replace it with cheese.

SPEAKER_00 15:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:58

Okay. We we made it there to have everyone else made it there. Because I also thought it was sweet dreams are made of these. Yeah. Like these memories and whatnot. That's I don't know. Anyways. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:07

She must have an interesting way of saying this. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 16:11

She loves cheese, everybody.

SPEAKER_00 16:14

Who doesn't? The next one is Michael Jackson Billy Jean from 1983 as well. Billy Jean.

SPEAKER_02 16:22

So what's the misheard later?

SPEAKER_00 16:23

The one Kevin was just singing. The legendary line, Billy Jean is not my lover, but the kid is not my son. Morphs into Billy Jean is not my mother, but the chair is not my son.

SPEAKER_02 16:40

Alright. But the chair is not my son.

SPEAKER_00 16:43

All right, Michael Jackson. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_02 16:46

He can dance. Okay. Let him sing about whatever he wants.

SPEAKER_00 16:48

Yeah, he's he's good at dancer. The next one is Jefferson Starship.

SPEAKER_02 16:53

Jefferson Starship, okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:54

Have you heard of this band? Uh-huh. Yeah. I don't know. Oh, but I have heard the song. We built this city from 1985. Instead of we built the city on rock and roll, hungry listeners swear.

SPEAKER_02 17:06

See, it is. People are just hungry. That's all that this is.

SPEAKER_00 17:12

Maybe you guys should get some snacks before you listen to music.

SPEAKER_02 17:15

Maybe that's why they don't mishear lyrics as much anymore. People are just more well fed.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

That's true. That's true.

SPEAKER_02 17:22

Like, sure, we have obesity, but we can hear all the song lyrics.

SPEAKER_00 17:25

So many good junk foods now. People swear they hear we built this city on sausage rolls.

SPEAKER_02 17:33

So hungry, I think a whole city of sausage rolls. The next one is maybe it was a commercial for Jimmy Dean or something, right? It's like their their line.

SPEAKER_00 17:45

Yeah, that would be good. That's where they got it from. The next one is Europe, the final countdown from 1986. The cosmic we're heading for Venus. Let's get lost in translation as we're working for peanuts. We're heading for Venus, we're working for peanuts. I don't know. Okay. I don't get it. But another food one.

SPEAKER_02 18:08

Yeah. It's surprising how many of these are food related. Yeah. Except for Tony Danza and the broken arms.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

The Tony Danza one's good. Some people listening don't know who Tony Danza is. Who's the boss?

SPEAKER_02 18:20

Yeah. Good show. Go look it up.

SPEAKER_00 18:22

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 18:23

We can stream that somewhere.

SPEAKER_00 18:24

Yeah, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_02 18:25

And try and figure out who in fact is the boss. Scott.

SPEAKER_00 18:30

That is on our list of shows to watch with the kids. The next one is Guns N' Roses Paradise City from 1987.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

That's a good song.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

Instead of take me down to Paradise City.

SPEAKER_02 18:42

For the grass is green.

SPEAKER_00 18:44

Some girls are pretty. Some fans belt out very nice city instead of paradise.

SPEAKER_02 18:51

Almost as good.

SPEAKER_00 18:52

Yeah. Well, the other one they hear is Prairie Dog City.

SPEAKER_02 18:56

A whole city full of prairie dogs?

unknown 18:59

Man.

SPEAKER_02 18:59

That's like that's like uh what do they have? Bear world?

unknown 19:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:03

Prairie dog city. I think I would rather go to Prairie Dog City. That sounds interesting, right? And you have like the little like things you can like put your head up in to like look around and stuff, and like then go down and look in their little tunnels or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 19:15

They used to have that in the zoo here.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

Yeah, that's that's what I thought.

SPEAKER_00 19:18

I don't think they have it anymore though.

SPEAKER_02 19:20

Boo. Guns and roses probably suit them.

SPEAKER_00 19:25

The next one is Billy Joel. We didn't start the fire from 1989.

SPEAKER_02 19:30

Are you close to the end already?

SPEAKER_00 19:32

Nope. Oh. We have 40 of these. 40? Yeah. How many? We're at 24. So we're almost done.

SPEAKER_02 19:38

Hang in there, everybody.

SPEAKER_00 19:39

So we didn't start the fire. People hear the rapid fire references Reagan, Palestine, Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride. I don't know if that's part of the song.

SPEAKER_02 19:49

Yeah, well, like it's have you you've heard the song before, right?

SPEAKER_00 19:51

Yeah, but I don't remember the Wheel of Fortune. Wheel of Fortune.

SPEAKER_02 19:56

Say the line again.

SPEAKER_00 19:57

Reagan, Palestine, Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride. Gets scrambled into Bacon Making Palestine, we love torture. Sally Ride.

SPEAKER_02 20:09

Bacon making Palestine, we love torture. Sally Read. Sally Ride.

SPEAKER_01 20:14

Bacon making Palestine, we love torture.

SPEAKER_02 20:18

I don't know. Not quite sure how you get there.

SPEAKER_00 20:21

Wheel of Fortune, torture. We love torture, Wheel of Fortune. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 20:26

Wheel of Fortune is not torture. Yeah. Is it still on? Yeah, I think is it still the same guy?

SPEAKER_00 20:33

Seacrest is the host now. And Vanna White's still on there.

SPEAKER_02 20:36

Really?

SPEAKER_00 20:37

Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 20:40

Well, good for you, Vanna White.

SPEAKER_00 20:41

I don't know if she has more of a speaking role now.

SPEAKER_02 20:45

Oh, really? I don't know. I don't know. Or if she's still just flipping them letters. Yep. Did you have you heard Fallout Boys like remake of that song? You should. It's pretty good.

SPEAKER_00 20:55

It's pretty good. Yeah, it's not like we can play it on here anyways, but the next one is Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit from 1991. The Grudge Anthem's line, with the lights out, it's less dangerous. Here we are now, entertain us has been misheard as with the lights out, it's Las Vegas. And here we are now.

SPEAKER_02 21:18

The city of lights.

unknown 21:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:20

Here we are now in containers.

SPEAKER_02 21:22

In containers? If you end up in Las Vegas in containers, you have done something terribly wrong. And good luck to you.

SPEAKER_00 21:33

Yeah, right. The next one is REM Losing My Religion from 1991. The famous line, that's me in the corner. That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight. That's me in the spotlight. Losing my religion is often misheard as let's pee in the corner. Let's pee in the spotlight. Losing my religion.

SPEAKER_02 21:58

Yeah, I could I could see that. I guess people at parties and stuff are drunk in there.

SPEAKER_00 22:03

Like, yeah, that makes sense. Let's do it. The next one is you two mysterious ways from nineteen ninety one.

SPEAKER_02 22:13

The title doesn't ring a bell, Mysterious Ways.

SPEAKER_00 22:16

The hair is this part. Bono soulfully says Soulfully. She moves in mysterious ways.

SPEAKER_02 22:24

Okay. All right.

SPEAKER_00 22:25

Often gets a splashy twist as Shamu the Mysterious Whale.

SPEAKER_02 22:33

That one is definitely a time dependent or time contextual. Otherwise, that's not gonna make any sense to you. Shamu was a whale, people.

SPEAKER_00 22:42

From SeaWorld.

SPEAKER_02 22:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:44

Probably around that time. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 22:46

I would imagine otherwise that I don't know how they would get to Shamu unless there was a whale out there.

SPEAKER_00 22:52

The next one is Stone Temple Pilots Creep.

SPEAKER_02 22:55

STP.

SPEAKER_00 22:56

From 1992. The lyric Bobby's Got a Gun is often misheard as Barbie's Got a Gun.

SPEAKER_02 23:05

Her name's like Janie or something like that, and he's trying to win her over or get her attention or something. And he goes out to like she's maybe in a band or something, I don't remember exactly. But he's got like the boom box, right? Like up above or something like that. And or he's singing, maybe that's what it is, and he's just playing that song. But because like someone told him to put her name in a song, and it's that song Janie's got a gun.

Getting jiggy with it. I say we could get there, but I don't know. It doesn't make a sense of it. Kicking the chicken with it? Yeah, it doesn't it doesn't make a lot of sense.

SPEAKER_00 26:14

Kicking the chicken and the cats, apparently. These songs. Kicking cats.

SPEAKER_02 26:18

There's a song after who sings it, like They've come to snub the rooster. So, I mean that's a song about a chicken.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

Yeah, that's true. You should go sing it to our chickens. Serenade them. They'll be jealous about the rooster. I don't have one. The next one is Macy Gray, I try from 1999. The line, My World Crumbles When You're Not Near, is often misheard as I wear goggles when you are not near. You can only wear them when you're not near.

SPEAKER_00 27:01

It's hard to drive like that. That's dangerous. The next one is InSync. It's gonna be me from 2000. Because of Justin Timberlake's delivery, it's gonna be me often sounds like it's gonna be May. It's gonna be May.

I loved NSync and I never thought who said. You probably didn't.

SPEAKER_00 27:41

The next one, Uncle Cracker and Dobie Gray Drift Away from 2002. The lyric, Give Me the Beat Boys, and Free My Soul. Often heard as Give Me the Beach Boys and Free My Soul. Yeah, okay. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_02 28:01

Right, because he wants to be like the good old days, the fun, and like the music of the beach boys.

SPEAKER_00 28:05

I get it. Could have used it as a good one. The next one, Adele Chasing Pavements from 2008. The lyric or should I just keep chasing pavements? is often misheard as or should I just keep chasing penguins.

SPEAKER_02 28:21

Do you really have to chase a penguin? Aren't they slow? Come on, Adele.

SPEAKER_00 28:25

They might be better because at walking because they're on ice.

SPEAKER_02 28:28

Yeah, I guess if you're chasing them on ice and they're sliding on their dummies. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 28:32

Even just walking, they're probably better than I am walking on ice. Almost slipped several times this winter.

SPEAKER_02 28:38

I thought it was gonna be like chasing payments, like trying to get that money.

It's crazy. The line, now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 is sometimes heard as Now I'm feeling so fly like a cheese stick.

SPEAKER_02 29:10

Everybody knows, yeah. Them cheese sticks are so fly. More food.

SPEAKER_00 29:14

SPEAKER_02 29:18

Uh I don't know. Next I never really used that. Fly?

SPEAKER_00 29:22

Yeah. I don't think I did very often if I did. I don't think so. I don't know. I don't remember. Next one is Coldplay Paradise from 2011. The catchy para para paradise is often misheard as pair of dice. Yeah. Okay. Makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 29:42

Yeah. I I don't I'm trying to think of how the song goes right there and if that would make sense.

SPEAKER_00 29:47

I don't know Coldplay's music, so I don't know that song.

SPEAKER_02 29:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

Next one. Eminem and Rihanna Monster from 2013. It's a good song. The lyric I'm Friends with the Monster That's Under My Bed is sometimes heard as I'm Friends with the Mustard That's Under My Bed. Just keep a bottle of mustard under there.

SPEAKER_02 30:08

Yeah, under there. Yeah. That makes the song a little bit different. Like now it's about a crazy person who's lonely. So kind of like a Tom Hanks Wilson situation going on. Just an empty bottle of mustard, probably.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

I hope no one's talking to a bottle of mustard.

SPEAKER_00 30:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:50

It's rough, rough times.

SPEAKER_00 30:52

SPEAKER_00 31:14

What is a can of limes? Like a whole can of like a twist open with a can opener, can of limes? Like what is a can of limes?

SPEAKER_02 31:24

It's the best way to get limes, that's what it is.

SPEAKER_00 31:26

And the last one, Selena Gomez, Good for You from 2015. This is the best one, I think. The line, I'm 14 carat, is often misheard as I'm farting carrots. What's she singing about? She's farting carrots. So funny.

SPEAKER_02 31:48

So what is 14 carats? Because I'm thinking like gold, like 24 carat gold. Yeah, I don't know. That's solid gold, right? So 14 carat must be like diamonds or something, like a big, big diamond is what she's saying.

SPEAKER_00 32:00

Yeah. So she's a big diamond?

SPEAKER_02 32:01

Or she's I don't know. She's had a lot of fiber.

SPEAKER_00 32:05

A lot of carrots yesterday. Thanks for listening and letting your ears and imagination have some fun with us. Until next time, keep singing, keep laughing. Sometimes the best lyrics are the ones we get wrong. Remember, even a small act of kindness can be someone's beacon in the darkest moment. Choose kindness every day. Reach out to someone today. You have the power to change a life. Be the signal of hope this world needs to be.
