I was listening to this again a few days ago

https://youtu.be/WK7DGwCqH6k?si=hoiG4uJDi0dQN1N2

and I can still only hear the chorus as "Hello Babyman", perhaps a greeting someone (maybe a member of Clawfinger) might say to Trump

A mate of mine told me a hilarious story about being at a gig some.years ago (possibly Bon Jovi?) where a cover of "The Boys are Back in Town" was aired, and a woman stood near him was belting it out to the chorus..except she thought it was "We're frozen back in time"  :laugh:

Maybe she was an Obituary fan.

I swear that the first line of For Whom The Bell Tolls is "minkers fight on the hill in the early days".

On Machine Head - A Thousand Lies where he sings "fed up of this whole system, it's gone on for too long" it sounds like he's singing "fed up of this horses dong..."

For years I thought Axl was saying " I'll have another cigarette cos I can't sing " on Paradise City.

The evil Kathmandu. I used to think he was singing about a mysterious eastern wizard.

Thought for ages Mastodon's Oblivion went
"Leaving you behind with this awesome song".

Admired the confidence to be honest.

An old one, Necros Christos - Hathor of Dendera sounds like Hater of Pantera

"this ain't no Crystal Rodgers neighbourhood"...so sang Mike Muir on You Can't Bring Me Down or at least I thought so for many years. Had no idea who Crystal Rodgers was, nor indeed had I any clue who Mr. Rodgers was for that matter.

I thought this as well actually.

Not mine, but a favourite I've heard is people mishearing the chorus of Deicide's "Dead by Dawn" as "PET MY DOG"

The title to Crowbar's "All I Had I Gave" sounding far too like "Motorhead are gay" in the song itself.

And the song title itself didn't set off any alarm bells?


My sister loved skid Row's 18 & Life back when it was in the charts.
But she kept sing, "Ain't seen a life"... even though she knew the name of the song.

Fucking stupid, like!
