It was not not not so great

Another one from my apparently deaf wife.
Jonathan Coulton's song A Talk With George starts with the words "There's a tall thin man standing in the shadows"
Which to her ears was "There's a dolphin man standing in the shadows"

Good god I feel stupid

The Offspring - Pretty Fly for a White Guy

As heard by very young me: "The world needs one-eyed pizza / hey hey do that brand new thing!"

What I grew to hear: "The world needs one-of-these-ah / hey hey do that brand new thing!"

What I realized today are the real words: "The world needs wannabees / hey hey do the brand new thing!"


...And when I looked up to confirm this, I've misheard most of this song for 20 years?
"You know it's kind of hard just to get a lot along today"
"Everything he likes lacks, well he makes a big up in denial"
"Don't debate deflate, play up it straight"
"In his own mind, he's the, he's dopest crap trick!"
