[Wrightfan]

A Thing or two:
Real: When I see my baby. When I see my little girl
What I thought: When I see my baby. When I see my n-word

She Knows me Too Well:
Real: I treat her so mean, I don't deserve what I have. And I think that she'll forget just by making her laugh
What I thought: Real: I treat her so mean, I don't deserve what I have. And I think that she'll forgive just by making her laugh

"I talked your folks out of making you cut off your head..."

[Awesoman]

"I talked your folks out of making you cut off your head..."

*or*

"I taught your folks how to make you count on your hands..."

[STE]

You ever hear lyrics incorrectly, and even after you know the correct ones, still try to pretend that yours are the real ones because the ones in your head are so much better?

Example:

"But in a child's eyes/there were feelings/touching my violent schemes", which I think is a lot better than "...my violent skin".

I thought it was "violet skin"...

Right. I'm saying I heard it as "scheme", and I like that better than "skin".

Yes but violet not violent

[Rick5150]

Friends: "I talked your folks out of making you cut off your hair" / "I talked your folks out of making you cut off your head"
I was Made To Love Her: "Hey, Hey – yes I was made to love her"/ "Hey, hey - you son of a bitch..." (glad I was not alone here)
Trader: "Passing the Eden of Flowers" / "Can’t seem to eat enough flowers"
Marcella: "She’s a bright girl…" / "She’s a fat Girlfriend"  (I still hear this actually - the "f" sound still seems so clear to me)
Catch A Wave: "Just get away from that shady turf..." / "Just get away from that shitty turf..."

[Mr. Cohen]

"A Thing or Two": When I see my baby/When I see my n*****/I'm gonna tell her about the lonely hours I just spent/And say the thing we got going hope it never ends
Well I'm gonna teach that n***** a thing or two

I swear that's what they say!

[Andrew G. Doe]

Well since she put me down
There's been owls pukin' in my bed.

[gfac22]

They'll eat their words with a f*ckin' spoon

[joshferrell]

I get a lot of farts in the morning.

[Awesoman]

"A Thing or Two": When I see my baby/When I see my n*****/I'm gonna tell her about the lonely hours I just spent/And say the thing we got going hope it never ends
Well I'm gonna teach that n***** a thing or two

I swear that's what they say!

I totally thought I heard that two the first time I listened to that song. 

[Dudd]

And find a meadow filled with reindeer.

[Wild-Honey]

Admit it - you sang that, didn't you ? And now, the song will never, ever be the same. 

Yup. Damn catchy too

[NHC]

In 1965 I was visiting my aunt and uncle in San Jose during summer vacation and they liked the Concert and All Summer Long albums was I playing for them  But I could never figure out on a map where "Ballport, California" (concert intro) was until my uncle explained the Beach Boys were from "Hawthorne, California", and also I knew of Burlingame on the SF peninsula and figured it was a big town, but I didn't know about Blasingame, then my aunt told me Mike was really singing "I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down", not "I know Blasingame's an awful big town". Then they played the Getz-Gilberto "Girl From Ipanema" album for me, and had to buy me a copy before I went home to the ranch. That opened up another whole new world of smooth Latin jazz.  And it was good to hear my aunt and uncle tell me about the Beach Boys concert they saw in Lake Tahoe in the mid-80's - - - and knew all the songs, even the one about Blasingame.

[Al Jardine: Pick Up Artist]

I really have to ask how you people heard hey hey you son of a bitch...I can MAYBE here you son but nothing else

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

"Date rape over the ocean"

[Wild-Honey]

I really have to ask how you people heard hey hey you son of a bitch...I can MAYBE here you son but nothing else

It's the part that says "Yes I was made to love her",   It sounds like "you son of a bitch I love her"   I never heard it until someone on this board mentioned it,  now that's ALL I hear   

[Sheriff John Stone]

"Date rape over the ocean"

Hey, there is another one from "Daybreak Over The Ocean"!!!

When Mike sings "We'll soon be together, never to depart", it sounds like he's saying "Wilson be together".

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

"Date rape over the ocean"

Hey, there is another one from "Daybreak Over The Ocean"!!!

When Mike sings "We'll soon be together, never to depart", it sounds like he's saying "Wilson be together".

Yeah, it totally does!

[Andrew G. Doe]

I really have to ask how you people heard hey hey you son of a bitch...I can MAYBE here you son but nothing else

Call me crazy, call me wacky (but don't call me at four in the morning*...) but I've always heard it as:

"Hey, hey/Yes I was made to love her"

Pretty rad, huh ?
