"We don't need no education." - "Nino, nino*, education!"
*nino is the sound emergency service vehicles made at home. I thought the song was about rushing to help education. Yeah, I was just starting to learn English but to this day that's what I still hear.
First, the female part of "Rock me Amedeus." It goes ,"baby, baby do me, do me Rock Me baby, baby do me"
I thought she was saying "baby , pay the dues, do want me baby, pay the dues". Almost as if saying u have to pay to sleep with me.
The other one is "Black Hole Sun". The real lyrics are "Black Hole Sun, won't you come. And wash away the rain."
I thought he was shouting at first "Like a sun, won't you come. And wash away the rain". It just made more sense to me that a hot sun would come and dry up the rain
"I spent four lonely days in a brownelli haze . . ."
I just assumed brownelli was some kind of weather pattern out there on the Left Coast.
i thought it was "brown empty haze" which i just assumed was outdated slang for a hangover or some such (which would explain why he stepped on a pop tart).
My husband just reminded me of another one I misheard. Golden Years by David Bowie. It goes, "Golden Years, Go-old"
I always thought he sang, "Cold in here, co-old"
A real oldie: a friend of mine reports that her favorite childhood movie was "The Greatest Show on Earth", which inspired her to play circus in the backyard, loudly singing Dorothy Lamour's hit song, which she knew and sang as "Lovely Little One-Eyed Lady".
Of course, it's "Lovely Luawana Lady", composed for a pseudo-Hawaiian circus number with sixty beautiful girls climbing poles to the top of the tent, where they played a bit of "Aloha Oe" on pineapple-bedecked xylophones while sarong-clad Dorothy sang below The number was included so that Dorothy Lamour could wear her sarong (which is not traditional Hawaiian dress, but who cares?? And who created this extravaganza, anyway?? Girls, poles, pineapples, xylophones, sarongs...truly the "Greatest Show on Earth"!)
