I learned the other day what the difference between Lionel Richie and Billy Dee Williams is, and that the person who played Lando Calrissian is not the same person who sung "Hello."

That's funny, for most people it's Billy Dee Williams and Carl Weathers.

More seriously, I want to specifically know every hand-crafted detail of the specific guitar they are playing. Was it made at 12 past 5, or 14 past 5? It matters.

In the Hearts of Stone dlc for Witcher 3 theres one character who sounds like she's calling Geralt "Puss Papers". If I had been playing with captions this would have been immediately cleared up but it took me an embarassingly long time to realize she was actually saying peepers. After figuring that out I still had to think about it to make the connection. puss peepers = cat eyes

I'm pretty sure in the Caustic Soda podcast they intentionally mispronounce 'debris' as 'debriss' just for the angry comments.

It's "take time with a wounded hand" not "ticked off with a wooden hand"

I just heard "The World I Know" by Collective Soul and realized that the song is in fact called "The World I Know" and that is what he is singing in the song. I don't think I have heard the song for a long time but for some reason I thought he was singing: 'Cause it's the one armed man It's the one armed man And that it was part of the soundtrack for The Fugitive film. No joke... I must have come up with this when I was a kid and never really thought about it again until today. I really wish I had been right though, that would be pretty amusing.

It took me like 10 years to figure out England Dan & John Ford Coley's I'd Really Love To See You Tonight's lyrics were "I'm not talking 'bout moving in And I don't want to change your life But there's a warm wind blowing The stars are out and I'd really love to see you tonight" Old dorky song I guess but I could not figure out "'bout moving in" for the life of me. Misheard Lyrics: "I not talking about the linen." Original Lyrics: "I'm not talking 'bout moving in" Some singers are just bad at enunciating, is my excuse.

Mondegreens are the best. I also thought that guy was talking about the linen. And I got a lot of other songs wrong:

To this day I cannot hear "just like the one winged dove" in that Stevie nicks song. You know, the one about a dove that is still singing despite of a life changing wing accident. Listen to it and try not to hear that.

OK I guess I just learned a thing. I always thought the one-winged dove was kind of a poignant image... If you'll be my four-legged woman, I'll try to be your four-legged man.

Now I hate the song. I liked the line "...one winged dove..." and now the song sucks. It's like the line from "Walkin' on the Sun" (Don't judge, it was the '90s). I always thought the line was "You need to be there when your baby's old enough to be laid." I thought, wow, that's a profound thought! How would I feel when my daughter becomes sexually active? Then I read the lyrics and never listened to Smash Mouth again.

Until reading through these posts I thought it was "Just like the white-winged dove" and now I don't know what life means anymore. I'm almost 44 so I've heard this song a LOT in my life. On that note, when I was little I thought the line in Pink Floyd's The Wall was "no Dukes of Hazzard in the classroom" which made sense at the time to a young me because I figured I would get in trouble for doing Bo and Luke stuff in school.

A white-winged dove is a specific kind. And they're mostly brown.

I'm pretty sure the song's actual message (that the war on drugs is dumb and demonizes stuff like marijuana at the same level as crack cocaine) is much better and was far far far more relevant to the 90s than pontificating about "the sex talk".

Smash Mouth's lead singer is really bad at enunciating though, such that I always thought the line "field heat sneakin' up on me" in "Come on, Come on" was "Bill Gates sneakin' up on me." I will never stop listening to Smash Mouth.
