jamesdean Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Interesting but I would wager they made most of them up. A few I can believe but others....no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks Mark Its a fact that many lyrics can give a huge misunderstanding in meaning ... - if they are heard by native English people they can be understood out of context - the fun part is : if non English people are listening to a song ... many languages have similar sources to one or more words it can happen that one word (lyric) gets an own life when heard by French, German, Dutch etc etc people ... for reason that the "sound" of it is similar to a native word used by them Visit and listen @ BW !

saint Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 One that always threw me for a loop was Thomas Dolby - One of our submarines is missing What was sang - seems she ran aground on maneuvers I always thought they were talking about getting lost near Dover or something, then it finally dawned on me. Bad part about that is I am a native English speaker, Meu Deus Relaxing Entertainment For The World - - www.ScenicRadio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
