Dec 04, 2011 15:43:33 OK so this guy at work (ever notice how all of my stories start off this way?) wanted me to make a cd for him and he was adamant that i put Nickleback's Ladderboys on there, what? never heard of Ladderboys? yeah i havnt neither, i told him id look for it and wouldnt you know it i couldnt find it anywhere, dude got kinda pissed about it and was further frustrated that id never heard of the song, hes yelling at me but they play it on the radio all the time, then he starts singing it to me, "just actin like we're ladderboys", then i realize he means Animals, haha, I found that amusing as hell.

Dec 05, 2011 6:03:40 How does one mistake "animals" for "ladder boys"? I mean, seriously, that boarders on talent.

I've heard of mistaking CCR's "Bad Moon on the Rise" for "bathroom on the right". There are probably at least 15 different versions of "Louie Louie" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit". In Dream Theater's classic "Metropolis Pt1: The Miracle and the Sleeper" I've hear of the lyric "Death is the first dance eternal" being mistaken for "death is the first dancing turtle" (that takes talent, gotta say).

They actually post videos of misheard lyrics for many songs with silly imagery. It's where I know the concept from.

Other then that... I barely ever listen to lyrics, so there's not much for me to mishear.

I have a friend who thought Radar Love by Golden Earring was "Red Hot Leather."

For years I thought it was "Red Eye Love" like he was taking the red eye flights home, or they were having sex on the overnight flight or something.

you know, i couldnt tell you, im kinda wondering about it myself, i mean what is a ladderboy any way? what does this guy think a ladderboy is? what is it about ladderboys that made him feel some connection to the song that he just had to have it, maybe he sees himself as a ladderboy? i really dont know, i'll have to ask him the next time i see him.

and thank you for not making fun of me for the pie thing

Jul 04, 2012 3:46:25 My wife is real big into this one, shes made me watch it like 5 times already. Im not as amused with it, I actually like that tune and know the words, so it doesnt make much sense to me.
