I had two of these happen to me lately that I can’t unhear even though I now know I misheard them.
One is the tv ad for a new medication for IBS called Linzess. I wasn’t paying attention the first time I heard it and it caught my attention since they kept saying what I heard as “ask your doctor about Lynn’s ass”, “Lynn’s ass can cause serious side effects.” Now that’s all I hear whenever it airs.
The other was a song I heard on the radio that I had never heard. It made me laugh cause the chorus was “I’m a black widdle baby” with ‘widdle’ sounding like baby talk for ‘little’. I thought it was an odd song till the dj said the song was Iggy Azalea’s Black Widow. Even though I’ve been corrected I can’t not hear “black widdle baby” and laugh at it every time.
One time I swore I heard someone call Sarah Jessica Parker “Sarica Jessica Parker” and since then I always hear it that way.
Louie Armstrong: the bright blessed day, the dogs say goodnight…
There’s a local jewelry place that runs frequent TV ads. The name is The Gold and Diamond Source. I have had two people point out that it sounds like they’re saying Golden Dinosaur and now that is all I hear whenever the ads play.
There was a thread here debating Hotel California lyrics whether they said “the pink Champagne on ice” or “depict Champagne on ice” and I always thought it was the former but now every time I listen to the song I hear the latter
There’s a radio ad for “Hitch City” that I hear as “Bitch City”.
Another radio ad was for the Ontario Lottery Corporation, what would you do if you won the millions. I heard “fresh lemons on the bed every day.” A friend corrected me: it’s “linens”.
My friend used to love to sing Offspring’s Pretty Fly for a White Guy out loud. He thought the line that goes “The world wants wannabes” was “The world wants one-eyed pizza.” I thought about correcting him, but then thought that one-eyed pizza would be something cool to have.
I honestly thought that the name of that infamous Queen song really was Another One Rides the Bus even before Weird Al parodied it.
