Quoted from Bobber


Well, it is about the Blue Jay Way in Los Angeles, isn't it?


I don't know if this is going back to being sarcastic or anything, but if you read my post again, you'll see that I was just referring to my thinking that it says 'lake'. And that I think it sounds better to me that way. That's all.

I was referring to your remark that 'lake' would be more in line with the song... Never mind.

OK. Fair enough, I jumped to a conclusion. But it's all in the context of stuff that's gone funny over the last 18 months I've been here on and off. Apology is not below me, so - sorry.

come together -

hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

ACTUALLY

hold you in his arms yeah you can feel his disease


Isn't it "hold you in his armchair"? I thought the "arms yeah" was something someone misheard (as i read it somewhere)

I always heard in "Act Naturally' Ringo says "Bending down apalling bended knee" instaed of "begging down upon his bended knee"

Also I always heard in We Can Work it Out "life is very sharp" instead of short"

Haha, misheard lyrics are always a funny subject!  
...but I don't actually have any particularly funny ones.
In "It's Only Love", I thought John said "haven't I the right to make it happen", when he actually said "to make it up, girl".
Then in "Things We Said Today", I heard "love to hear you say that love is blind" rather than "love is luck", partially coz I thought that this line was meant to rhyme with "me I'm just the lucky kind"...

But the funnier one was when I misheard George in Something as saying:
"you're asking me where my love grows" instead of will my love grow". Hehe, where my love grows... in the garden, perhaps?  



I'd ask my friends to come and see... an Octopus's Garden with me ^___^

I gotta go listen to Things We Said Today one more time because since I bought the album over 40 years ago I hear "Love to hear you say that love is love." On I hold your hand I hear "I Get High" every time I listen to it.

Help

Actual: Help! I need somebody.

Heard as: Help! I need you-- yeah, you, the one in the second row, with the teeth and the hair. Yeah, baby YOU. Come on up here and let's get it oooooooon!

I will only add that I believe many girls heard this lyric in this exact same way.  


All you've got to do is choose love.  That's how I live it now.  I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden.  I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007

For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison

Quoted from raxo
In I Am The Walrus, does anybody hear:

"Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain."?  


Yeah that's what I hear is standing in the English rain

Yes, if we're talking about the early take included on the Anthology 2 CD 2 ... there is very clear, I agree!

In Please Please Me I heard "You dont need me to show the weather" instead of "You don’t need me to show the way love"

Hehehe, good one Harihead!  

Oh yeah, I just remembered another mishearing on my part:
In "One After 909", I heard "Grandma said, you've got the wrong location" instead of "railman said..."
