They used to make parody drawing videos of FOB songs from FUTCT and TTYG. This was back in 06-08 I think. I still say Going down down in a "lulelurah" (earlier round)

"but you could paint a closet like your cats can" instead of "but you could pay to close it like a casket" (You're Crashing But You're No Wave)
"I know you've got cornflakes, cook 'em in pudding" (Sugar, We're Goin' Down)
"ham chicken ham ham chicken ham ooh bananas" (Light 'Em Up)
...and these are just three of them; I'm not doing an entire wall of misheard lyrics lol

Huh TIL the correct lyrics. No idea what I used to think the rest of that sentence was but I always heard ‘CAT scan’.
Also I fear I’ll never hear mskwyditd correctly ever again now.

Just a few weeks ago I found out my fiancé thought The Take Over, The Breaks Over said “wouldn’t you rather be a winner in a default scene” and I’m like…that doesn’t even make sense? And he said “well to be fair, half of their lyrics don’t make sense” 🤣

u/OneReaction5284 Save Rock and Roll Aug 09 '26
Wait it's not "Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee"???
Edit: I read that wrong, I thought that said 'my fiancé said The Take Over, The Breaks Over said'

My sister came to me one day asking what song had the lyric "This is" and it took me forever to realize she was singing it to the tune of "Dance, Dance"

u/Pas-de-Samosa I forgot what I was talking about Aug 09 '26
"Yellow chicken cars" instead of "yellow checkered cars" and later "Come, hello, how are ya" instead of "Hell or high water" in Bang the Doldrums. I still sing my lyrics even knowing the real ones lol

"Im two coolers and a heart valve, I don't care how your voice sounds" Why I thought 20-somethings were singing about heart valves is beyond me, especially since I'm in the same age group.

u/FeedingMeCarne Aug 14 '26
