When "hippos" drove the big cars

[z edge]

Lack of sleep maybe, but I am listening to the 'elevation-boston' cd, and at the end of 'kite' I could of swore he said "when hippos drove the big cars".

Anyone else hear that?

 

[Spiral_Staircase]

Hippos? Nope. But thanks to Calluna and notiti, I'm actually hearing this in my head during Beautiful Day:

Your love is krunk
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

Honestly. I don't even know what krunk means, but I can't get it out of my head!

 

[oliveu2cm]

LOL z edge! you never know- after listening to Bono sing at the end of Bullet "run.. into the armchairs, of America" I'll never put anything past him!!

armchairs, Bono?!

wtf lolll

(although I dont think he'd say hippo loll)


------------------
If I could through myself set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away See you break, break away

SS,
LOL I don't know what in the hell a krunk is either, leave it to Calluna-luna-luna to come up with that, and notiti

Olive,
What was the 'armchairs' from, I mean which show/tour??

[Ana]

When I'm listening to MW I swear Bono says:
She's stupid
you're sliding down

lol I know I know it's slippy but I swear I always sing the fucking 'stupid' word

lol And actually sounds cooler to me

BTW: "Hippos sounds way cooler than hip hop"

"Well you tell...Bonovista,that i said hello and that my codename is Belleview" - Bono before opening night of Anaheim Elevation concert

Well tonight thank God it's them, instead of you...

ME TOO! For some reason, i was listening to it and there was this one time where i could have sworn this was the actual line LOL.

From ATYCLB, i used to mis-hear BD:
"sky falls"
my version was "sky folds"

or Elevation "the goal is elevation"
me: "but no, it's elevation"

ps: no hippos on my Kite. Must be your lack of sleep z edge.

Well, considering you have the reputation of turning threads all doggy, and since you admit you had lack of sleep, i don't think you can really be trusted to hear anything properly.

When did hippos drive the big cars in the music industry? Back when Notorious B.I.G. was alive?

------------------
"You gotta love living, baby, 'cause dyin's a pain in the ass."-- Frank Sinatra

Adam: Look guys, I got a Springfield spoon for my spoon collection.
Edge: Oh boy, here we go...
Bono: Wow, how many is that now Adam?
Adam: Nine. If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane.
Bono: Can I see it?
*adam gives bono the spoon, bono throws it away*
Adam: My spoon!

Hmm...no hippos here, but everytime I hear Stuck, I screw up the line--the nights you filled with fireworks...I think it says, the nights you filled with flowers...

duh.

Such a nice day
Let it go...

I thought the same thing for the longest. But the funniest "misheard lyric" I've heard was someone from this forum heard in Stay: "You used to stay up, to watch the aardvarks"

[the HORROR]

I was playing a hunting game the other day, and on the safari expedition I ran across a hippo, which of course I shot. It wasn't driving a big car, or any car for that matter.

No wait, on this website for all these misheard lyrics I read that for Sunday Bloody Sunday, someone thought it was "SOMEDAY, BUDDY, SOMEDAY" BWWAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAA.

I just about died when I read that, it's hilarious!

But aardvarks?? Where can you stay up to watch aardvarks?

That is really too funny. I am at work and I just laughed myself into tears and coworkers think I am crazy.

The other one that struck me as hysterical from a while ago was the line that someone heard during Beautiful Day:

"It's a Beautiful day....
Sky full of felines
It's a beautiful day...."

instead of "the sky falls and you feel like it's a beautiful day..."

that one also reduced me to tears laughing. Keep 'em coming!

I once misheard "Firestarter" by Prodigy. I thought he was singing "touristic firestarter" instead of "twisting firestarter".
