I learned this today and felt it was relevant to the fall out boy community.

mondegreen (English, Bone Apple Tea Dialect) [ˈmɑndəɡɹiːn] a misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing of the lyrics of a song. Mondegreen is itself a mondegreen of a line from the Scottish ballad "The Bonny Earl of Murray", with the line "layd him on the green" misheard as "Lady Mondegreen."
Verfremdungseffekt (German) [vɜːˈfɹɛmduŋsəˌfɛkt] Bertolt Brecht's "alienating or distancing effect"; when you are constantly aware that you are watching a play and can never achieve catharsis or empathy, instead being encouraged to analyze and feel empowered to make political or social change.

TV reporter lady on a news ad: “What do you like about running?”
Adorable little girl jogging down the sidewalk with her classmates: “ENERGYYYY!!”
What I THOUGHT the adorable little girl was saying at first: “ANARCHYYYY!!”
I keep getting recommended this FB group for punk rock bird watching or something so I guess the next logical solution is anarchist cross country?

Deafness, remixes, and misheard lyrics.
Or, Mrs. Carmen? Look at my erection.
I’m partially deaf in one ear which occasionally produces unintended comic results.
The satellite played a couple of remixes of songs I knew from childhood. The remixes combined with my deafness changed how I heard these old favorites.
“Look in my direction” is now and forever “look at my erection”.
The version of this song was an extended remix version and I swear after the two piano chords Lennon addresses “Mrs. Carmen’s gonna get you”.
I’m awaiting Decca’s remix of the Stones legendary song Cocksucker Blues. Will I now hear that one as Dockworker blues?

Tell me, what does it sound like they're chanting in this?
To me it sounds like 'They got him, they got him, they captured Harry Potter!'

you know how people talk about their moments where they were a very book-absorbed child who only ever read the word epitome and never questioned its pronunciation until someone laughed at or explained it to them
I just had that fucking moment but with a name.
you’re gonna laugh.
I’ve been pronouncing Eurydice in my head as yuri dice until I was fucking 23

Until I was a 28 I thought the lyric was ‘you can dance / you can die / having the time of your life’
So I talked to a ton of people about the poignancy of the chorus and they all looked at me like I was crazy

So, when I was a younger teenager, I heard the song "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" by the Spin Doctors for the first time. Except for a long time I thought they were saying, "Little Miss Candy Bra." I thought, "Wow, that's super impractical. Wouldn't it melt and get sticky and gross? Why would anyone want a candy bra?"
So I asked a friend of mine who was a little more street-smart than me, and that's how, at the tender age of 14, I accidentally found out that edible underwear is a thing.
Thanks, Spin Doctors.

Hello! Remember this blog?
If you joined Pokemon IRL after January 2023, probably not.
This was the blog that I joined Pokemon IRL with, though I stopped using it in favor of Tropius' blog.
However, I thought it might be fun to bring it back!
These five have no idea yet about the craziness that happens on this website these days. Have fun introducing them to it!
Pelipper Mail and variations are on. Magic anons are off. NSFW interactions are strictly prohibited.
I hope you enjoy this time capsule from early Pokemon IRL!

I always thought that in Jimi Hendrix’s “Manic Depression”, he was saying that “manic depression’s a full straight admiss” - like a shortened version of “admission”, like to a mental hospital. And I thought that it was so cool to shorten that word like that and use it in such an unorthodox way.
And then I learned just right now that he’s actually saying it’s a “frustrating mess”. Thanks, brain.
Still an excellent song, though.
