Misunderstood Weezer Lyrics
So, I've had a few embarrassing misunderstood-lyrics moments in my life. What are yours?
From "My Name is Jonas":
I thought "fresh out of batteries" was "fresh out of Baton Rouge."
From "The World has turned"
"You left enchanted by my intellect, or maybe, you didn't"
I thought the last part was "Old Navy, you did it!" (I have no idea why I thought that.)
I also know someone that spent more than a year thinking that "The Good Life" was called "the Nomad song," as in, "I don't wanna be a Nomad anymore..."
It'll be interesting to see what you guys have misunderstood. : )

I've always found Weezer's vocals to be very understandable for the most part, so I only have one example.
Actual lyrics from "Memories":
Listening to techno music on the bus where we earned our checks.
What I thought:
Listening to techno music on the bus while we undigest
Made sense to me seeing as it comes directly after a line containing the word vomit.

I too thought he said "I don't want to be a Nomad anymore" for a little bit. Figured he meant he was tired of being on the road.

It's "You laughed enchanted by my intellect" :) So you can add that to your list.

At some point in time I thought of the lyric in "Why Bother?" as "crack it open, make an om-e-let" but I don't think I misheard it so much as I didn't know what he said and misthought it while away from the stereo.

LOL. All this time, I thought it was "listening to techno music on the bus while we're under chicks."

Haha, this is a great discussion idea! I agree the lyrics are usually easy to understand, but sometimes...
I used to think "The Good Life" went, "I don't want to be lonely anymore..." instead of "I don't want to be an old man anymore" and I used to hear "Troublemaker" as "I will be a rockstar and you will go to bed with me" instead of "you are gonna bear with me"
And yes, I also heard "Memories" as "on the bus while we undigest", "earned our checks" makes WAY more sense :)
