“Jeremy broke his glaaaaaass today”.
Once I’d heard the song enough times to discern every fifth or sixth word Mr. Vedder “sings” I kind of got from the context that what Jeremy actually did today was speak in class.
Of course, no one knew what Joe was singing…until now!
It always sounded to me like “She’s so fucking young.” I knew that was highly unlikely, but that’s what it sounded like to me.
Wait. Um… :smack:
I was in the Army in Hawaii and driving a brand new LT from the airport to base and Jeremy was playing on the radio. He started ranting that he hated that song because it was about drugs: “Jeremy smokin’ grass today.”
I had to gently explain to him that it was about a kid comitting suicide in class.
No. no! It’s “Eying little girls with bats in tents.” And if I were a little girl living in an area he frequented who wanted to camp out, I’d definitely take a baseball bat into the tent with me!
In “My Heart Will Go On” (the love song from Titanic), the second time Celine Dion says, “Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on,” it sounds like she is saying “The hot dog goes on.” My kids always used to crack up when they heard it.

No, that’s the best line. Who else could attempt to put “Kilaminjaro” and Serengeti" in a rock song lyric, much less pull it off?
Except I also thought it was “an empress”. I like that better.
Still wonder about Everclear’s “Santa Monica”, with the line:
I don’t want to be your stupid game.
I heard it as “stool pig-on”. And wondered how dumb did they have to be to mispronounce “stool pigeon” and nobody catch it in production.
