  Take on me

  Take me on

  I’ll become

  Your deityyyyy

  I believed this was the correct lyric for about 30 years.

    The Christian music remix community now believes it to be correct

  When you look up the lyrics and they are dumb, so you just keep singing the lyrics you made up instead.

    Look, I don’t care what KISS actually sang, I’m gonna rock and roll all night and part of every day.

  When I was a teenager, I thought it was so funny that the guy sang, “Life would be ecstacy, you and me and Lesley.” Took a while to realize it was “endlessly.”

  Reminds me of the anime Jormungand. One of the fansub groups got the intro lyrics completely wrong but the correct lyrics were worse than the wrong lyrics.

    Don’t we all just sing weird romanji translations and go crazy when the song as 3 words in English totally weird because they can’t pronounce the words properly? :D

  I sing karaoke fairly often. I sing the nonsense lyrics and no one seems to notice, especially if I sing 90s rock.

    Yeah same. Many artists themselves like to change around their lyrics in live performance so I’ve stopped giving a shit. Finding out it’s wrong I’m like “oh cool” but I’ll still sometimes intentionally sing it wrong or differently.

    i’d say in karaoke the bar for a good performance in most places is staying roughly on beat and sing notes that are closer to notes in the right key than not, no need to know the actual words

    Once upon a time there were some funny youtube videos about “misheard lyrics”. Highly recommended.

    • captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      There is or was an entire website called kissthisguy.com all about misheard lyrics.

  In one of the 5FDP’s song I always hear “Right or wrong, I can hardly tell, if I’m on the wrong side of heaven or the righteous side of hell” but in the lyrics its “wrong side of heaven And the righteous side of hell”, which doesn’t make sense to me, but that might be before English isn’t my first language

  • Hexarei@programming.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That’s because the song doesn’t say “if”. It says

    “Right or wrong, I can hardly tell”

    As one statement, and

    “I’m on the wrong side of heaven And the righteous side of hell”

    As a second, related statement

    Essentially saying he’s not able to tell because he’s in between both

      Just my imagination, but in my head the concept that hell and heaven borders each other was a bit far fetched. With ‘and’ to me it feels like two are a gradient. With ‘or’ its different place or room, and not knowing if you are in one or the other without seeing the other, while understanding neither is a good place to be.

      Guess it doesn’t matter over all, the main point is same with both.

  Yellow Ledbetter is a fun example. Boy I was shocked when I finally found the lyrics.

    Well fuck man, tbf, in that song Vedder was probably like “imma sound like non English speakers pretending to speak English”

  I just realized I’ve had the lyrics to the red by Chevelle wrong in the last few months and I’ve been listening to that song since it came out

  Western nippon music lovers are confused.

  They hurt themselves due to the confusion.
