Prince's Erotic City. The part where he says "All of my hangups are gone". I thought he was saying "Hold my hand, I'm so cold". I like his version better. lol

What about that song...ehhmm... Dr.DRE and REDMAN, I think... The Album 2003, "Housewife"...?
How does the chorus and 1 verse go...?
Something "but U can never make a ho a housewife.."

In the "Sign O´the times" movie just before
"If I was your girlfriend" starts & Cat is laying
on the bed looking sexy talking on the phone
& say:He wants 2 settle down.I wanna know why a wolf is
dressed up like a lamb"
When I saw the movie I thought she said:
" I wanna know why I woke up dressed up like a lamb"
& that would B why Prince wore that white lamb-like
coat on.I was 13 & just figured that Prince was just
wierd as usual & thought nothing more about that.

LOL that's a cool story!
I loved the words about Lambs, and "if this coat was real wool, it would have taken..." in the Rave Album cover...That was so sweet,

I still sing it this way sometimes when I'm not thinking. It's very hard to break a habit that one has had for so many years.

Savage Garden - I Want You (chorus) & Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Till You Get Enough (beginning esp)

I didn't know they were singing actual words. I just thought they were kind of humming along with the music.

In "Invisible Touch" by Genesis or Phil Collins I thought he said "She's just a hot girl invisible talks shit" but I'm still not sure what he says, but I know he says "Invisible touch" instead of "talks shit"

Limp Bizkit - 'Break Stuff':

Durst sings(?):
'I think you better quit,
Or you'll be a neighbour with a fat lip'

I always thought he said:
'I think you better quit,
Or you'll be a nigger with a fat lip'

and I wasn't really surprised about that either since I think Durst is a low life, white trash piece of shit!

I am notoriously awful with lyrics.

In DMSR- "Jamie Starr's a QUEEF!"

Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"- "She told me her name was Billie Jean and she goes to school."

Michael Jackson's "Heal the World"- "Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire UNIVRASE." WTF? I thought he was trying to rhyme "universe" with "place."

The worst of all is in Janet's "When I Think of You," when she sings "I'm...so..in..love" I thought she was singing "I'm...coun..ting...lines."

J Geils Band - Centerfold

They sing: My angel is the centerfold
I heard: My anus is the centre hole

David Bowie - Time

He sings: I had so many breakthroughs
I heard: I had so many grapefruits.

She's saying...


"it'z yur fra-ma-nem plan-yet fu-mu
it'z yur fra-ma-nem plan-yet fu-mu"


It's just the line "I put my thang down,flip it and reverse it" in reverse.

Usher's U Got It Bad

When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who
Makes you change your ways
Like hanging wit' your crew

What I heard:

"Face Down"

Prince sings


Break the Bread I Earn


I heard


Break the Baretta Urn



I even looked up "Baretta" on some search engine and
thought "Who the fuck was this Baretta dude?".
