    Misheard Lyrics

    Here are the Misheard Lyrics Video to Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter.

    "Make me fries" cracks me up!

    Now here are the actual lyrics:

    Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat.
    Then you said "I wanna leave it again."
    Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand,
    And on the sand I wanna leave it again.
    On a weekend I wanna wish it all away.
    And they called and I said that I want what I said,
    And then I call out again...
    And the reason, oughta' leave her calm, I know.
    I said "I know what I wear, not a box or a bag."

    Can you see them? Out on the porch, but they don't wave...
    I see them 'round the front way...
    And I know and I know I don't want to stay...
    Make me cry...

    I see... I don't know why there's something else...
    I wanna drum it all away...
    I said "I don't... I don't know whether was a box or a bag."

    Can you see them? Out on the porch, but they don't wave...
    I see them 'round the front way...
    And I know, and I know, I don't wanna stay at all...
    I don't wanna stay... I don't wanna stay...
    "Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent."
    -Adam Smith

    You can't be faulted the guy sounds like he's screaming with a mouth full of quarters.

    The dude's so stoned he's probably saying what's in the misheard lyrics version.

    LMAO, Valor.

    I actually went to a Pearl Jam concert a few years back and it was so hard to understand anything that came out of Vedder's mouth, except when he preaching his politics. Then he was loud & clear. Ever since then, I have been so turned off by PJ, and I actually used to like them a lot.

    My favorite misheard lyrics are from Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" If you listen it sounds like he's saying

    "Hold me closer Tony Danza"

    Aussie band Cold Chisel had a song a few years back with the lyric

    "cheap wine and a three day growth."

    There was a competition of misheard lyrics. One guy came up with

    "Cheap wine and a three legged goat"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DToyVMRgCac

    make your own mind up, but damn that would have to be nasty cheap wine to end up with a 3 legged goat!!!! :D:D

    fallout boy had a humorous one.

    dont ask me why, I saw a fallout boy video.

    But, the lyrics are "this aint a scene, its a god damn arms race"

    it sounds like "this aint a scene, its a golf cart *** face"

    the chorus is "Im a leading man, and the lies I weave are oh so intricate"

    when in reality it sounds like "Im a little man, Im also evil, also into cats"

    Oh I love it.
    Assume nothing.
    Believe no one.
    Confirm everything.

    Wow, the f'd up version actually makes more sense. I am with Kate, when artists start preaching politics, I start spending my money elsewhere.

    A big +1 on there, Jynkxxie. Vedder's politics are what turned me off to Pearl Jam.

    Actually, only one band I was able to listen to that was political, now that I think about it, probably cause the words weren't very prominant, Rage Against the Machine. From what I understand, they've regrouped and are working together again. :D

    P.S. I only found out they were political was reading their lyrics. :p

    Yeah, but Rage never really touched the "politician's" so to speak, more so the moral issues. At least from what I remember of them.
