Pardon me 😳 I MIUNDERHEARD You

[The Pennifer]

Part of my hearing affliction these days, is "misunderhearing" ... The results can be quite funny. It reminds me of an example my Dad told about (I think he read it on Reader's Digest) ... In conversation a quote was made - "no man is an island" - it was misunderheard as "no mayonnaise in Ireland"

Also common with this affliction is misheard song lyrics ... These are some of my favourites:
Credence Clearwater Revival ... There is a bathroom on the right ... Correct: (There is a bad moon on the rise")

"These ants are my friends, they?re blowin? in the wind" ... Misheard lyrics from Bob Dylan's 'Blowin? In The Wind': "The answer my friend is blowin? in the wind"

At a John Prine concert he had a request for his song about "a happy enchilada" ... Puzzled, he said he had no such song ... The woman said ... "Yes! You know - happy enchilada and you think you're going to drown" ... The actual lyrics are "its a half an inch of water and you think you're going to drown!"

Soooo ... What do you have to add?

please keep it clean

wow no wonder its called ireland....

my bathroom *is* on the right when going to where it is

somebody please save these helium inflated ants

I'll take a happy enchilada



though as far as music goes, for me most of the time I mishear stuff I can just chalk up to unclear/poor/slurred pronunciation. which I remember hearing a lot of with native English language vocalists' music in the past

My misheard lyrics with the real lyric, in sentences'

Its my pizza, and i'll cut it peice by peice. - Piece by Piece

I love cheap thrills. So much, I won't get down. - Cheap Thrills

Dress up like hipsters? Nah, i'll dress up like hamsters. - 22

Used to play pretend funny... LOOK, A BUNNY! - Stressed out (Best I could do)

Is Pillowtalk your enemy, or is it Yveltal? - Pillowtalk

That's all I can think of right now. Found them funny or nah

Some hearing mishaps are...

-Whenever somebody reverses the "Dispenser" voice line, I always hear "Snips" somewhere in there.
-"Oh, to create What-Give-You-a-Lation" - Rules of Rarity (to this day, I have no idea what the REAL lyric is)
-"...Not QUITE the pikpikpik you were hoping for. *TEH-HEH!*" - MasaeAnela, Kirby Mass Attack Part 1 (Pink Pikmin, in reference to Winged Pikmin)
-"HAAAAA LOL DEM LADS!!!" - Demoman, TF2 (Haul at them)
-"Let's home on go-ed!" - Sniper, TF2 again (that darn accent!)
-"What Peh Sah! Cow-Keh Cow-Lah!" - Scout, Pizza Time (One pizza, Coca-Cola)
