Misheard Lyrics

Inspired by a Sweet Raxxx gig I went to on the weekend where a crowd of people thought they were shouting 'Die Bridget Die' rather than 'Die Plain Jane Die', Bridget being the name of an audience member, I have some of my own misheard lyrics stories...

My band has a song that goes 'I thought you were my peak, but it turns out you're a ridge, I must climb over you'. I dont know if I mumble too much but a lot of people have misheard this one. Rather than hearing Peak and Ridge they hear words like Pig, Bitch, Rich, Wig and lots of others that make the song sound a lot harsher than it is. So much so that I have offended someone, and that a man came up to me once and said 'dude I like that song about the pig bitch woman, but thats a bit harsh aint it'.

However perhaps the best misheard lyric Ive ever witnessed was by one of my good pals who decided to sing very loudly and proudly the popular Guns n Roses song 'Paradise City'. However he sang 'Take me down to THE VERY FIRST city'. Laughs all round. 'But I thought that was what he sung', he argued even tho the title of the song suggested being taken to a paradise like city.

Comedy instilled.
