Top Four 36: Misheard Eddie Vedder Lyrics
◼
►
hi everybody welcome back to top 4 we
◼
►
have a special episode well well yeah
◼
►
it's our normal fodder work it's a
◼
►
little bit different format this month
◼
►
because we weren't quite sure how to do
◼
►
this but it's something that we've been
◼
►
wanting to do for a while so we're gonna
◼
►
just see how it goes and then maybe fix
◼
►
a lot of problems in editing yeah don't
◼
►
don't talk about editing so no one wants
◼
►
alright I'm gonna start it yeah hi
◼
►
everybody welcome to a totally normal
◼
►
episode of where nothing is different or
◼
►
wrong so anyway what we wanted to do for
◼
►
a while is some bringing something about
◼
►
the incredible unintelligibility of
◼
►
Eddie Vedder's lyrics Eddie Vedder lead
◼
►
singer of Pearl Jam although he's also
◼
►
done some solo work but I think he's
◼
►
mostly known for his Pearl Jam work you
◼
►
may have heard him from such songs as
◼
►
and then also the great hit did yep
◼
►
pretty much everybody knows how his
◼
►
songs sound but it's really hard to know
◼
►
what he's actually saying in a lot of
◼
►
them and I don't know the I mean I think
◼
►
a lot of this is just a style that was
◼
►
born of the early 90s growing movement
◼
►
but it was who he he he is definitely
◼
►
the master of just making sounds with
◼
►
his voice that sound good because like
◼
►
we love his music it sounds good but if
◼
►
you try to actually listen to what he's
◼
►
saying it's really hard it's our new
◼
►
favorite game in the car yeah whenever
◼
►
we put on a mix of like 90s music from
◼
►
whatever radio station the car picks for
◼
►
us because we are led by robots and
◼
►
whenever an Eddie Vedder song just pops
◼
►
up it is our favorite thing to do to try
◼
►
and figure out what exactly he's saying
◼
►
in his songs so we wanted to bring that
◼
►
joy to our audience and try and rank the
◼
►
top four most unintelligible Eddie
◼
►
Vedder songs yeah and this is
◼
►
surprisingly hard to narrow down because
◼
►
there are a lot of Pearl Jam albums and
◼
►
has many songs yeah each I apparently
◼
►
has has good number of songs so it's
◼
►
what I tried to do is narrow it down to
◼
►
at least songs that people would have
◼
►
heard mostly from the first two albums
◼
►
10 and vs. yeah I think like kind of
◼
►
their bigger hits would be yeah more
◼
►
interesting for people to hear it's it's
◼
►
really quite something else to try to
◼
►
understand these lyrics to the point
◼
►
where there's an entire youtube genre
◼
►
called misheard lyrics where they like
◼
►
basically put like funny words over the
◼
►
song while it's playing in a YouTube
◼
►
video some are a bit of a stretch most
◼
►
and this is think most of them aren't
◼
►
that good most of them aren't that funny
◼
►
there and this is also a little bit
◼
►
unusual in that I think we're both gonna
◼
►
I think we already both know what our
◼
►
number ones are going to be yeah
◼
►
it's probably the same one for both of
◼
►
us so it's a little bit unusual in that
◼
►
but we'll work up to that so let's start
◼
►
out with the earlier album and the
◼
►
earlier song on it probably most
◼
►
people's first Pearl Jam song they heard
◼
►
even flow I mean just try to figure out
◼
►
what is the first thing he says
◼
►
freezer is a freezer its breather a
◼
►
pillow in a concrete okay it's with the
◼
►
freezer it's a cold pillow the he
◼
►
probably has a cold temperate aquilo
◼
►
because I had when my tempur-pedic
◼
►
pillow is cold it's very hard it feels
◼
►
like concrete so that's it it's freezer
◼
►
so even flow is about using a
◼
►
tempurpedic pillow in the winter I think
◼
►
so let's let's hear a little more
◼
►
maybe you'll see a little better set of
◼
►
Daisy said of days uh what is what is
◼
►
that that been dazed it's okay so it's
◼
►
just it's a really cold weak form yeah
◼
►
then again in been again ahead down
◼
►
these for getting familiar I don't I can
◼
►
understand some of these lyrics yeah and
◼
►
see this is specifically better like
◼
►
Queen you can you can hear like maybe
◼
►
every third word very clearly and
◼
►
there's a lot of just sounds in there
◼
►
like yeah or it's like it sometimes
◼
►
those are actually words and sometimes
◼
►
he also seems to give the audience a lot
◼
►
of credit for being able to complete
◼
►
words for him in our minds because he'll
◼
►
often say like the first two-thirds of a
◼
►
word and then just kind of trail off and
◼
►
just stop it's fine wait
◼
►
so can't help but his happy looks and
◼
►
when is puffing oh his puppy yeah here's
◼
►
a Pomeranian okay they kind of always
◼
►
look insane Jack Russells yeah he just
◼
►
took a dump cleared his throat
◼
►
what what's like butterflies evenflo
◼
►
comes around like butter what is that
◼
►
what this is this isn't like I've heard
◼
►
this song a million times this is the
◼
►
chorus of the song I have no idea what
◼
►
it says I got butterflies but it makes
◼
►
you feel really good when you get the
◼
►
one RIT lyric though that you do
◼
►
understand yeah exactly you don't know
◼
►
he chases them away he chases away the
◼
►
butterflies well they're by a million
◼
►
while he's trying to sleep on his hard
◼
►
tempur-pedic pillow in the winter I'm
◼
►
not sure what he doesn't know yeah he
◼
►
doesn't know something he doesn't know
◼
►
he never knows he can begin his life
◼
►
oh he's repeating even the repeats of a
◼
►
lie and sometimes they're not like I've
◼
►
occasionally like throughout my youth
◼
►
and you know sing you know sing so many
◼
►
songs in the car I've occasionally tried
◼
►
to look up what the lyrics are to some
◼
►
of them and some of them actually are
◼
►
that tricky where like it'll be two
◼
►
things in a row that sound pretty much
◼
►
the same but are actually two different
◼
►
words I'm curious like do the lyric
◼
►
sites or whoever is like collecting and
◼
►
I'm never going to look up these lyrics
◼
►
because I don't want to know well that's
◼
►
neither toothy though there are some
◼
►
where it's actually funnier to listen to
◼
►
if you know what he's supposed to be
◼
►
saying because you're like really that
◼
►
was supposed to be that we'll get there
◼
►
we'll get there moving on to glorified G
◼
►
is this glorified version of a pelican
◼
►
yeah an American plant play it again
◼
►
play order I like it is like it's like
◼
►
about like you know manliness and stuff
◼
►
but like no get played again like I got
◼
►
horrified version of a pellet gun Oh a
◼
►
pelican isn't that just a bird I think
◼
►
so is it pellet gun it could be either
◼
►
really well I mean pellet gun makes more
◼
►
sense I guess but I like pelicans better
◼
►
what would a glorified Pelican be a
◼
►
pterodactyl that's pretty cool I feel
◼
►
the pterodactyls part it's probably the
◼
►
glorified version of all birds maybe
◼
►
like a dragon and all these years I
◼
►
thought this was about pelicans but now
◼
►
I think it's about guns that sucks no
◼
►
all right whipping don't need a handle
◼
►
don't need a helmet got a hard hard head
◼
►
see I didn't understand that don't need
◼
►
what he's already bred
◼
►
don't need a panda bears too much
◼
►
whoa whoa we have what is loving can we
◼
►
do that verse again please
◼
►
all right doesn't it raincoat he's
◼
►
already wet he doesn't need a panda
◼
►
if they'd know don't need a panda bears
◼
►
too much you're so right
◼
►
with the whip whipping whipping I think
◼
►
see the song is called whipping is he
◼
►
saying that there it sounds kind of like
◼
►
we think is pretty good it's I can't
◼
►
understand the chorus even
◼
►
don't hand there's always a part
◼
►
attached there's all these arms to test
◼
►
oh I thought was there's always arms
◼
►
attached which doesn't make sense
◼
►
I must reach rust all these rusted rails
◼
►
mmm sure that's what he'd saying No
◼
►
see is it there would be the or their or
◼
►
their whipping the song is called
◼
►
whipping but I don't hear that no I
◼
►
don't hear that either
◼
►
you know a he's at the whooping gah I
◼
►
understand actually most of this
◼
►
it just doesn't I said most just doesn't
◼
►
make a lot of sense I might get him to
◼
►
give this an honorable mention okay all
◼
►
right there's also on the list of
◼
►
horrible songs on Vitalogy there's a few
◼
►
I think bugs is the worst but pry to
◼
►
nobody likes bugs don't play bugs whoa
◼
►
this is alright I think we were going
◼
►
all about this all wrong we were
◼
►
listening to the popular song so try and
◼
►
make it better for our audience but
◼
►
really the crazy comes out in between
◼
►
all the popular songs
◼
►
what was he just saying I don't this
◼
►
yeah this is why I can't listen to
◼
►
Vitalogy that it was a song put onto an
◼
►
album intentionally yeah like those
◼
►
placed it took a slot new album and
◼
►
right after that is one of my favorite
◼
►
songs corduroy got the one about the
◼
►
bear who loses the button in the
◼
►
department store it is that Paddington
◼
►
there's that something else no I think
◼
►
that's a train station yes with a hat
◼
►
yes the train station has a hat
◼
►
and see this is mostly okay but all of
◼
►
his lyrics really are on the verge it
◼
►
kind of makes you have that feeling
◼
►
where I feel a little bit smart for
◼
►
knowing exactly what he's saying but but
◼
►
you got a it's you've got a really pay
◼
►
attention to be able to hear a lot of it
◼
►
like sometimes all of Merlin's
◼
►
references yeah I think your brain is
◼
►
yeah you can't play Pearl Jam 1.5 X
◼
►
you'll miss it so yeah he'll cut off and
◼
►
whoa what whoa that was a good one what
◼
►
I don't wanna what I got nothing from
◼
►
that I got nothing I don't know okay so
◼
►
what we're concluding is that you can
◼
►
sing along to a certain point and then
◼
►
everyone becomes that I don't know the
◼
►
lyric person and it sounds like it yeah
◼
►
I think he is becoming that
◼
►
what he doesn't want to wait for them to
◼
►
law and I want to lay
◼
►
what what pay it off in blood in IV wet
◼
►
I mean I played off in blood let I be
◼
►
wet it sounds like that but okay all
◼
►
right I'm gonna start looking up some
◼
►
lyrics this is going to be the official
◼
►
yeah look at the corduroy what are they
◼
►
what are they saying good song man okay
◼
►
it's that the the waiting drove me mad
◼
►
you're finally here and I'm a mess I
◼
►
take my entrance back can't let you roam
◼
►
inside my head I take my entrance back
◼
►
I don't want to hear from those who know
◼
►
he doesn't want to hear from those who
◼
►
know that's it oh I would never have
◼
►
gotten that they take they okay then it
◼
►
says they can buy but can't put on my
◼
►
clothes okay see that I hear that now I
◼
►
would never gotten there well they could
◼
►
buy his clothes but they can't put them
◼
►
on right Wow I don't want to limp I
◼
►
don't want to limp for them to walk wow
◼
►
I didn't even I never limp is there is
◼
►
there a like that was like I don't want
◼
►
to wait for them to okay this is is
◼
►
there any M&P sound in this I don't want
◼
►
to lay like he doesn't even try a limp
◼
►
he's not even trying on that word I mean
◼
►
poetry wise it's actually very clever
◼
►
but not saying these words
◼
►
Fiona near-death that's clear
◼
►
what is that I'll pay it off in blood
◼
►
let I be Wed what does that mean I don't
◼
►
know man it means whatever to whoever is
◼
►
listening to it is it cut up n I'm all
◼
►
going to cut up and half dead
◼
►
how dead I'll end up alone like I began
◼
►
yes some of those words you you can
◼
►
everything has chains at absolutely
◼
►
nothing's changed everything has changed
◼
►
there it is oh my god this is my
◼
►
favorite part of this song I've met I
◼
►
never cook so is that absolutely nothing
◼
►
to change or that another chains
◼
►
absolutely no that's changed everything
◼
►
has chains absolutely nothing and then
◼
►
listen to this I don't even know if this
◼
►
is a word okay take my hand not my
◼
►
picture spill my pink sure that yeah
◼
►
it's that's another word I was just kind
◼
►
of gloss over and singing along
◼
►
a tincture is a medicine made by
◼
►
dissolving a drug in alcohol oh oh yeah
◼
►
vocabulary I always thought that was
◼
►
teacher and I mean it didn't make sense
◼
►
but vocab lesson with Eddie Vedder oh
◼
►
man this song I have a good idea he is
◼
►
saying words that we literally don't
◼
►
even know exists like the he just he's
◼
►
teaching us you think all this time it
◼
►
just been like he has an incredible
◼
►
vocabulary you know much greater than
◼
►
others not that we're miss hearing
◼
►
things he's speaking like an archaic
◼
►
language and we're just not sure of the
◼
►
words they're not in our everyday life
◼
►
that we are you know the he's just a
◼
►
genius that's what it is all right we
◼
►
need to go back I mean he's definitely
◼
►
musical genius like we need to go back
◼
►
to even flow and I'll read the lyric
◼
►
we're gonna listen what we think it is
◼
►
yeah freezer rustles head on a pillow
◼
►
made of concrete okay it's freezin so
◼
►
okay close so it still could be about
◼
►
tempur-pedic pillow zanter
◼
►
so okay I think what he's trying to say
◼
►
is feels like maybe he'll sleep better
◼
►
in seven days but doesn't okay he's lost
◼
►
over a lot of same feeling
◼
►
it makes this seems like this is a
◼
►
person's name Oh feeling yeah like
◼
►
Ophelia but Oh feeling Oh feelin maybe
◼
►
he'll see a little better any days Wow
◼
►
maybe he'll see a little better
◼
►
any day are these what's the source of
◼
►
these lyrics see it just says Pearl Jam
◼
►
that's what he says that can't possibly
◼
►
be like the lyric he wrote in his head
◼
►
okay so head down faces some both hand
◼
►
out faces that he sees come again
◼
►
ain't that familiar what whoa okay okay
◼
►
I hear that all right there's another
◼
►
source it doesn't make sense that says
◼
►
that other line was a feeling maybe
◼
►
he'll see a little better set of days oh
◼
►
yeah okay not that much better
◼
►
all right oat bran he can't happy look
◼
►
insane Oh dark grin he can't help when
◼
►
he's happy he looks insane ok that the
◼
►
second the last part I think was mostly
◼
►
there sort of but Oh dark grin not oat
◼
►
bran no not Oprah and smash you smoke
◼
►
brand you got it yeah gotta go to the
◼
►
yeah it's just a song about his morning
◼
►

◼
►
glorified G okay I like the way the song
◼
►
starts it's a great happy song sort of
◼
►
until you hear the lyrics just like all
◼
►
observers he's got a gun I mean right
◼
►
what's the second line even though like
◼
►
I got a gun in fact I got to okay that's
◼
►
I never would have heard that is that's
◼
►
okay man cuz I love God
◼
►
yeah that part's easy
◼
►
okay it's definitely pellet gun I can't
◼
►
believe you heard that I Laura fired
◼
►
version I've been listening to the song
◼
►
for literally like 20 you thought it was
◼
►
about birds shooting birds I thought it
◼
►
was about Birds Dick Cheney I don't even
◼
►
really heard the gun part like I mean I
◼
►
is it feels familiar with arms feel so
◼
►
manly when armed when armed ok Wow these
◼
►
he really glosses really sick oh no this
◼
►
is a really kind of cool song I think
◼
►
it's a very anti-gun song oh it
◼
►
definitely is obviously but like so like
◼
►
after the but until this recording
◼
►
really after repeating the word Pelican
◼
►
which is really pellet gun 10,000 times
◼
►
the next verse is doublethink
◼
►
dumb is strength what that's double
◼
►
dumb is strength what well one lyric fat
◼
►
says double think other one says don't
◼
►
think so they can't even agree like the
◼
►
lyrics eyes don't even know no and then
◼
►
dumb is strength never shot a living
◼
►
thing hold on dumb is strength don't
◼
►
miss that ring that's a stretch that's
◼
►
head string I like dumb as string bet ya
◼
►
string is not very smart so the next one
◼
►
never shot a living thing
◼
►
yeah that part sounds fine though feels
◼
►
so manly when armed okay and then the
◼
►
always keep it loaded and then kindred
◼
►
to be an American what whoa I've never
◼
►
okay that's been there I can feel your
◼
►
heart I can feel your heart in your neck
◼
►
I can feel your heart in your neck
◼
►
Wow Wow I never heard that before all
◼
►
right Wow all right that's a that's a
◼
►
pretty pretty bold song yeah I actually
◼
►
kind of like it now I like it better
◼
►
what whipping did we do that one this is
◼
►
the one where we couldn't tell if they
◼
►
were saying whipping in the chorus or
◼
►
not whipping add they're whipping
◼
►
they're whipping out of it
◼
►
don't need a hand there's always arms
◼
►
attached oh don't get signed I can fall
◼
►
yeah you're right I call that why must
◼
►
all these rusted rails
◼
►
rales didn't I make a train joke before
◼
►
I think I actually might have heard this
◼
►
mostly correct they don't want no change
◼
►
Wow there we go yeah not bad mm-hmm all
◼
►
right well there's also the last song
◼
►
that we should include his bugs no I'm
◼
►
just kidding no it's nobody wants bugs
◼
►
Marco I'm not sure I've ever heard that
◼
►
song all the way through because every
◼
►
time I play through Vitalogy or I try to
◼
►
play through Vitalogy I get like halfway
◼
►
through I'm just like oh my god I can't
◼
►
take this anymore I have to skip the
◼
►
song nobody wants bugs
◼
►
it's that is by far like I think bugs if
◼
►
we if we had do an episode on the worst
◼
►
Pearl Jam songs ever put on an album I
◼
►
think bugs would have to be number one
◼
►
and and there are some some weird ones
◼
►
in there so that's saying a lot but it's
◼
►
it's got to be bugs it sucks I come down
◼
►
on suction otherwise pretty decent album

►
whoo anyway but the number one I think
◼
►
the master of misheard lyrics has got to
◼
►
be and across all artists not even just
◼
►
Eddie Vedder it's got to be yellow
◼
►
Ledbetter I mean just try to figure out
◼
►
what is being said here I'm not gonna
◼
►
spoil the first word because I actually
◼
►
looked it up a long time ago I remember
◼
►
what the first word was supposed to be
◼
►
and it makes no sense
◼
►
on the ceiling on the voice of glitter
◼
►
fairy that's yeah like that's that I got
◼
►
that's I didn't read that that's that
◼
►
I'm going on the so I don't I don't know
◼
►
it's like I know what it's supposed to
◼
►
be so I'm not gonna say the rest of that
◼
►
sentence but like that does not make any
◼
►
like it's not it's nowhere close well
◼
►
I'll just tell you I'm pretty sure if I
◼
►
remember correctly that is supposed to
◼
►
be unsealed on the porch a letter sat
◼
►
notes on the voice of glitter fairy
◼
►
that is totally it's like it's hardware
◼
►
I can't listen any harder to those
◼
►
lyrics and come up with anything else
◼
►
landfill I want to leave it again I
◼
►
would also want to leave a landfill
◼
►
landfill I want to leave it again ok on
◼
►
the feeling on the voice of glitter
◼
►
fairy landfill I want to leave it again
◼
►
it's like there's no it's I have no idea
◼
►
what that's supposed to be I think that
◼
►
one line I remember go for another line
◼
►
yeah one bizarre him one bizarre him
◼
►
on the beach whether slathered houses on
◼
►
the on the on a beach of weathered sand
◼
►
on the beach no houses he says house is
◼
►
how it's supposed to be on the beach of
◼
►
on the on the Beast of weathered houses
◼
►
obviously what it is and I know he
◼
►
doesn't say sandy says houses on the
◼
►
beast on the I don't hear that B's don't
◼
►

►

◼
►

◼
►
she wants to leave this glittery beast
◼
►

◼
►
no there's no sand its houses sorry on a
◼
►

◼
►
on a whale it can't possibly be that on
◼
►
a wheel on a weasel it's you know on a
◼
►
wizard on a way it's gotta be an oyster
◼
►
in a whale that's I'm totally agreement
◼
►

◼
►
listen as hard as you possibly can and
◼
►

◼
►
thinking it's on a weasel on a wizard on
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
bag no he's back to the whale is the
◼
►

►

◼
►
put some glitter onto the whale oh
◼
►
that's his wizards can make sparkly
◼
►
things happen right but where is Mona
◼
►
can we do we don't have the power to
◼
►
like vacuum up glitter in a permanent

◼
►
okay we're very clear about this box or
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
whale in a box or a bag

◼
►
them out on the porch yeah but they

►
waving to the wizard and the sparkle
◼
►

◼
►

◼
►
there's a team with sparkling bears
◼
►
following it and the wizards like a
◼
►
freakin who's rares there's no bears in
◼
►
this one all the other song had bears no
◼
►
this one has the sparkle bears no the
◼
►
agenda with the bears no I'm getting
◼
►
confused alright yeah this is it's hard
◼
►
to keep track of all these metaphors
◼
►
okay I don't even know if they are
◼
►
metaphors you might have actually seen
◼
►
do you see them around the front way
◼
►
around the runway on the Oh uh is there
◼
►
yes nation now they're at the airport
◼
►
okay wait maybe does the whole thing
◼
►
take place at an airport have a
◼
►
sparkling things he's seeing and maybe
◼
►
Wizards are like like maybe he can't
◼
►
believe that planes can fly so cool so
◼
►
he's like maybe he thinks the pilots are
◼
►
Wizards now you're just being silly
◼
►
I know I know I don't want to say or
◼
►
save now he knows he doesn't want to
◼
►
save the contents of what he just did in
◼
►
his document I know I don't want to save
◼
►
no make maybe why make me fries it's
◼
►
probably making me fries but it's got
◼
►
its a fly baby fly make me fly oh maybe
◼
►
well we're on the airport right make me
◼
►
I'm thinking it's cry I like making me
◼
►
fries yeah but it might be make me fly
◼
►
if we're if we are indeed back at this
◼
►
airport and he thinks the Wizards are
◼
►
controlling all the planes because he
◼
►
doesn't know how planes work then maybe
◼
►
he's asking the wizard pilots to make
◼
►
him fly maybe he's trying to buy a plane
◼
►
ticket and a really read about way okay
◼
►
I am going to let the letter on the
◼
►
porch was an advertisement for a plane
◼
►
ticket and he went to the airport and
◼
►
he's like look baby stop calling me but
◼
►
I'm gonna call you back but call me back
◼
►
and call you back and please could I
◼
►
just have a ticket to get on this plane
◼
►
it's gotta be right I don't know why
◼
►
there's something else maybe oh yeah
◼
►
that sounds pretty good
◼
►
on a combine on away unaware on a
◼
►
combine unaware Hatton okay
◼
►
then we're back to the combine I'm not
◼
►
entirely well-versed in farm equipment
◼
►
but how could you possibly be not aware
◼
►
that you're on a combine aren't they
◼
►
pretty large they're really big yeah
◼
►
they're probably one of the biggest farm
◼
►
equipments you could be on I mean you
◼
►
have to like you have to have drank a
◼
►
lot to not realize that you were on a
◼
►
combine I mean maybe he just was never
◼
►
told it was a combine he doesn't know
◼
►
where there's a box or a bag so he's not
◼
►
he's not aware of the box or the bag or
◼
►
the combine I mean do people usually
◼
►
keep boxes and bags and combines I've
◼
►
never been in one is there like do you
◼
►
keep like a bunch of crap in the cabin
◼
►
so you can like you know maybe
◼
►
castellane bags yeah he's an employee
◼
►
for the song it's a clerk and he's he's
◼
►
packaging things up for people
◼
►
he's just bagging somebody's groceries
◼
►
he's like I don't know where to put this
◼
►
I can't find a box or a bag mm-hmm maybe
◼
►
this is the combine like a store in the
◼
►
south and he worked at oh maybe it's the
◼
►
name of a store yeah who knows they have
◼
►
weird names down there
◼
►
he's asking me is he asking can you see
◼
►
a boxer bag anywhere anybody can you see
◼
►
there's a box or a bag can you see them
◼
►
that's it that must be it
◼
►
code on the port Oh easy backup no no
◼
►
he's on the porch and he's asking if
◼
►
they see the box or the bag out on the
◼
►
porch and they've so okay so he's hoping
◼
►
that the letter carrier will come and
◼
►
take the packages he's trying to send
◼
►
that he put out onto the porch but that
◼
►
didn't sound that sound like port that
◼
►
was like definitely not porch see
◼
►
there's no more port e that's port like
◼
►
so I'm thinking like now he's on a dock
◼
►
or pier alright so now we're loading
◼
►
things onto a boat called the combine
◼
►
that he's a grocery store clerk on this
◼
►
is like somebody's a weird nonsensical
◼
►
dream it is it's like oh you were there
◼
►
but you weren't there and it was your
◼
►
house but it wasn't yeah and we were in
◼
►
an airport but it was really a boat and
◼
►
we're that's whales there was a car only
◼
►
and there's this wizard on top of the
◼
►
whales that's what it is and we were at
◼
►
the grocery store but I couldn't find
◼
►
anything to put your groceries in okay
◼
►
round the wrong way I see yeah see if
◼
►
when I see them rat around the wrong way
◼
►
I wait you so okay so what's around the
◼
►
wrong way the Box in the bag is looking
◼
►
for know that or the wizard in their
◼
►
Sparkle bear I it's hard to keep track
◼
►
there's a lot of things in the song
◼
►
he doesn't want to sleep it off I don't
◼
►
want to say get out what oh I don't want
◼
►
I don't want to say it all that's that's
◼
►
a tough one I don't want to say I wanna
◼
►
say good all I don't want to say it all
◼
►
I don't know he doesn't want to stare
◼
►
okay so is it rude to stare at sparkle
◼
►
Wizards and and Beach bears well he's
◼
►
the people that aren't waving oh well
◼
►
why aren't they waving wouldn't if you
◼
►
saw a wizard followed by Sparkle he's an
◼
►
American pilots like wouldn't you they
◼
►
don't wave he that's he keeps repeating
◼
►
they don't they're just not waving but
◼
►
what's the Box in the bag
◼
►
okay he's an old guy sitting on a porch
◼
►
and people are walking by and they're
◼
►
not waving and he's just mad and he's
◼
►
coming up with stories up but like why
◼
►
they're not waving to him
◼
►
I don't want to stay I don't want to
◼
►
was that a word that's the last word in
◼
►
the song so i i i i think i'm even more
◼
►
confused than ever now like like when i
◼
►
first okay so look at the lyrics now
◼
►
okay first of all did i remember
◼
►
correctly that the first thing is
◼
►
unsealed on a porch a letter so yes
◼
►
uncie he is on a porch veal lid yeah he
◼
►
really draws that out when you said i
◼
►
want to leave it again then you said saw
◼
►
her on a beach of weathered sand
◼
►
hey i got it right on the sand and on
◼
►
i want to leave her again okay so when
◼
►
he says sand yeah that's his language is
◼
►
are we are we making fun of somebody
◼
►
who's a really bad speech impediment no
◼
►
he could actually say these sounds yes
◼
►
okay i don't know there's no okay hold
◼
►
on no way weekend I want to wish it all
◼
►
away yeah that's really a stretch and
◼
►
they all and they called and I said that
◼
►
I'll go and I said that I'll call out
◼
►
I know what was that and I'll go yeah
◼
►
really and out that this is and I'll go
◼
►
and I will be called and I'll go get
◼
►
that's not even go it's he says will he
◼
►
says go I'll go he wishes it together
◼
►
play together he called and I know
◼
►
there's no G sound that's incredible
◼
►
again really that's again again and the
◼
►
reason I ought to leave her calm I know
◼
►
I mean I can I can see where I hear
◼
►
words like Gump and combine and wizard
◼
►
and it's like if you like I don't hear
◼
►
any of these I mean this is like okay I
◼
►
think we should change our top four okay
◼
►
so yes there were some other songs with
◼
►
misheard lyrics but this song is
◼
►
obviously the pinnacle shining star of
◼
►
the misheard Eddie Vedder lyric I think
◼
►
we should choose our favorite misheard
◼
►
line just for the olive or misheard
◼
►
what is Ledbetter is that is that a
◼
►
thing I'm gonna maybe it's one of those
◼
►
it's like the Tincher I'm sure it's a
◼
►
smart reference to something or a drunk
◼
►
reference to something I don't know but
◼
►
it's like it's even hard to say the
◼
►
title is um it comes up with nothing
◼
►
oh my god all right so that's oh my god
◼
►
what said I don't know whether I'm the
◼
►
boxer or the bag a box that makes so
◼
►
much sense I don't know whether I'm the
◼
►
boxer or the bag that's very poetic
◼
►
it is poetic if you would have actually
◼
►
said that oh man see this there's no way
◼
►
he does not say boxer oh hey can you see
◼
►
them out on the porch yeah but they
◼
►
don't wave all right you got that
◼
►
I see them round the front way yeah
◼
►
and I know and I know I don't wanna stay
◼
►
make me cry all right so let's let's not
◼
►
make me fries it's make me cry oh man
◼
►
or make me fly oh I see I don't know why
◼
►
there's something else I want to I want
◼
►
to drum it all away does on a comm line
◼
►
nope I want I wanted to rum it all away
◼
►
no there's not even close but I wanted I
◼
►
wanted to rum it all away it's not even
◼
►
what he says though it's just not
◼
►
Drummond there's no like dr set like
◼
►
that that's not there
◼
►
he doesn't even say boxer no it's it
◼
►
sounds like where there's a box like
◼
►
it's not even hold on so it's supposed
◼
►
to be I don't know whether I'm the box
◼
►
or the bag I said I don't know whether
◼
►
I'm the boxer or the bag boxer right
◼
►
okay and definitely I want to drum it
◼
►
all away oh I said I don't know I don't
◼
►
know whether I'm the boxer or the bag
◼
►
like even with these mobile websites are
◼
►
saying that that's what it is I mean
◼
►
that like as a line of poetry that makes
◼
►
sense but the sounds that are coming out
◼
►
of his mouth like you can't like
◼
►
sometimes when you hear when you find
◼
►
out what a lyric is you can you can kind
◼
►
of realism and you can hear that lyric
◼
►
then like being said you just weren't
◼
►
like hearing it in the right way you
◼
►
weren't like interpreting the words
◼
►
correctly but in this case like the
◼
►
sounds that he's saying do not form
◼
►
these words no matter how you hear it
◼
►
it's not even close I'm gonna vote for
◼
►
my most misheard lyrics oh yeah yellow
◼
►
Ledbetter to be I want to want to drum
◼
►
it all away that's really good and that
◼
►
I don't there's none of those sounds in
◼
►
there at all and then I think my second
◼
►
I don't I don't know whether there's a
◼
►
bot I'm I was the boxer or the bag yeah
◼
►
that's I mean after that it's pretty
◼
►
much I don't want to stay I don't want
◼
►
to stay I don't want to stay I don't I
◼
►
don't want to stay I I think I really
◼
►
got a got a give a shout-out to on a
◼
►
weekend oh yeah that was really good I
◼
►
want to wish it all away yeah that yeah
◼
►
that's a and the reason I ought to leave
◼
►
or come I know that was also like the
◼
►
reason I ought to leave her calm I know
◼
►
this is even like I don't know whether
◼
►
I'm the boxer or the bed like that's
◼
►
there's just like no there's no sound of
◼
►
that here mm-hmm like there's so many
◼
►
completely missing consonant sounds and
◼
►
sometimes wrong and like differently
◼
►
inserted consonant sounds that like it
◼
►
wasn't just that he glossed over some of
◼
►
the words it's that he actually made the
◼
►
wrong size for different words and they
◼
►
called and I said that I'll go
◼
►
I said that I'll call out again
◼
►
yeah that that's transcribed as I don't
◼
►
I don't want to stay but I think you
◼
►
just kind of stops halfway through the
◼
►
first I don't and this isn't a live song
◼
►
like it's not being those live right now
◼
►
studio recording so it's not like he was
◼
►
having a performance no oh my god well I
◼
►
do actually have top four songs
◼
►
I mean yellow Ledbetter is obviously
◼
►
number one and then between Evenflo
◼
►
whipping and corduroy I mean they can be
◼
►
jostled around so III mean it's hard for
◼
►
me to pick like because I think I'm with
◼
►
you like you know it's it's pretty hard
◼
►
to actually rank the songs cuz so many
◼
►
them were more intelligible than we
◼
►
thought but a lot of them were pretty
◼
►
comical but I think nothing compares to
◼
►
yellow Ledbetter it's it stands on its
◼
►
own so far above everything else
◼
►
it falls on its own yeah exactly it
◼
►
stumbles over on so I honestly I think I
◼
►
might like my version of the song better
◼
►
with the Wizards and the glittery bears
◼
►
and stuff but it's Minh you know the
◼
►
grocery clerk who can't find a pilot in
◼
►
the airport like it and but for some
◼
►
reason on a boat also I'm sure that
◼
►
everyone can sing along to this song
◼
►
yeah really yeah it doesn't I'm equally
◼
►
unstable footing yeah because it doesn't
◼
►
really first of all no one knows lyrics
◼
►
when they when you're saying along with
◼
►
the group people are and no one knows
◼
►
that the lyrics actually are even if you
◼
►
do know what the lyrics actually are it
◼
►
doesn't make sense or sound like that
◼
►
so you even if you sang the correct
◼
►
lyrics it would sound like you were
◼
►
singing the wrong lyrics alright so we
◼
►
definitely have number one
◼
►
yo Ledbetter yeah and everything else
◼
►
after that I mean I guess we have even
◼
►
flow whipping and corduroy kind of in
◼
►
the same camp glorified G I thought was
◼
►
good with the Pelican but that ended up
◼
►
being pretty clear yeah get out pellet
◼
►
gun I did yeah even flow I think we had
◼
►
a lot of good fun with yeah so maybe I
◼
►
put even plot number two quarter by
◼
►
three glorified Pelican number four well
◼
►
what about corduroy oh no what about
◼
►
whipping whooping was okay I think
◼
►
Whitman was better than glorified G
◼
►
alright so you can rank so okay my
◼
►
ranking is number one yellow Ledbetter
◼
►
number two even flow three corridor a
◼
►
for glorified G what is your ranking
◼
►
Leadbetter number one Evenflo corduroy
◼
►
and then whipping alright thanks for
◼
►
listening everybody I can't believe you
◼
►
made it through this I can't believe we
◼
►
made it through this Thank You Eddie
◼
►
Vetter for providing years of decades
◼
►
really of amazing music that we really
◼
►
do enjoy and for hopefully not having a
◼
►
problem with this podcast I don't know
◼
►
whether I'm the boxer or the bag Marco
◼
►
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
