When I first heard "When Doves Cry," I swore he was singing "this is what it sounds like when DOGS cry." And then when he does the little whimpers in the song, I said to myself, "Yeah, I guess that kinda IS what it sounds like when dogs cry."

in "girls and boys" from parade
i always thought the hook went..."your such a belle mama girls and boys"
when its actually that french saying "Vous a tres...(something) mama girls and boys"....

i also had trouble with that trampoline and troubling thing.



Vous etes tres belle. I only know this because I took French for five years in middle and high school.

I've got a severe case of CRS, though...

Can't Remember Shit lol

And.....people mishear a lyric in Tamborine.

"All alone by myself me and I play my tamborine.....troubling.

Many people think it's trampoline. However if you consider the context of the song, it's clear that he's frustrated at having to be alone. Hence, it is "troubling" him...

yeah, I thought it was trampoline fo sho.

3 quarters in a glass, I see u smilin' ass
in stead of
3 quarters in a glass, I see u smile and ask

(from The Continental)

True right?

U Got The Look: I used to hear "Clouds in time" instead of "Closing time", and i thought it was very cool, as if prince were conducting the clouds, ie commanding them to get in time.

New Position: My sister used to hear "Honey" at the start of each line as "Cotton Alley"; as in:

Cotton Alley, we've been together
Cotton Alley, 4 2 long!
Cotton Alley, we've got 2 make it better
Cotton Alley, '4 we go wrong

Listen to New Position with that in mind, and scarily enough- you can actually hear it!

My favourite one ever: There was a post on this same subject about a year ago, and one Orger, i forget who, said they used to hear for "Do Me, Baby"

"Miss Biggo and the Groom"

for "in this big old empty room"

byee!

I could never hear the line about "came on her wedding gown" in Head and I managed to put together soemthing in my head i thought made sense...."I came, I was up and gone" as in shot his muck and he was outta there.

Kinda makes sense when you hear what it really is

"I'm in love with guys, it's the only way, cuz you & I know we gotta die some day"
"Ah muthafucker she's a brotherfucker can't you understand" which he might say, and if he does it's pretty clever.
"Animals' strykurius poses" Them's some wild poses, no?

Oh, yeah, and another that comes to mind...

"Everytime I comb my hair, lots of loogies in my eyes."

I really should have had my hearing checked as a kid.

ok.here's the translation for the french...

i love u baby, i love you so much.
maybe we can stay in touch.
meet me in another world space and joy.
vous etes tres belle mama girls and boys.

VOUS ETES TRES BELLE= WE ARE VERY PRETTY (OR BEAUTIFUL) GIRLS AND BOYS.

some basic french: taken from the verb"ETRE"."TO BE"

JE SUIS= I AM

TU ES=YOU ARE

IL/ELLE=HE,SHE,OR IT IS.

NOUS SOMMES=THEY ARE

VOUS ETES=WE ARE

QUELLE HEUERE EST TIL?

VENIR ICI....MAINTENANT.

Baby Knows:

Actual lyric: She knows how 2 make U feel like your stuff ain't brown 2nite...

I heard: She knows how 2 make U feel like you're Stephanie Brown 2nite...

I asked EVERYBODY (my one friend) the importance of "Stephanie Brown"; alas there was no one (my one friend) who knew...

Then I learned to read lyric sheets...

...and now I am she...

Well, you got your "nous" and your "vous" twisted there. "Nous sommes" is "we are." "Vous etes" is "you are" (singular or plural). But that's okay, I hardly remember merde after cinq ans of francais.

In "Jack U Off":

"virginity or menopause...", I thought it said, "I wanna beat your meat because..."

"Please come....please come.....COME!"

instead of

from Let's Go Crazy. I still think it sounds more like the former to this day!

Thought the same thing!
