Ascended Fanon: Difference between revisions

* The song "Alive" by [[Pearl Jam]], wherein the lyrics are about a widowed woman who grows sexually attracted to her son because he looks just like his deceased father, a textbook example of [[Lyrical Dissonance]]. This hasn't stopped fans from embracing it as an anthem of celebrating life. Eddie Vedder, having written the song partly from his own experience, gradually found that what he saw as the "curse" of the song had been lifted by fans' more uplifting interpretation.

** This is the same case with "Bad Moon Rising" by [[Creedence Clearwater Revival]]. The actual lyric is "There's a bad moon on the rise," but it was often misheard as "There's a bathroom on the right." John Fogerty has been known to sing this line in live performances of "Bad Moon Rising."

** Likewise, in [[They Might Be Giants]]' song "Ana Ng" the line "Where the world goes by like the humid air" is often misheard as "Where the world goes by like the human hair." They occasionally sing the mondegreen instead of the original line live.

{{quote|'''Jerry Casale''': "We didn't want to ruin it and tell them the truth, because they just wouldn't get off on the truth."}}

* After the chorus of Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't a Scene" was famously misheard as "I'm a little man, and I'm also evil, also into cats," friend of FOB member Pete Wentz and frontman of [[Cobra Starship]] Gabe Saporta made a Youtube video where he showed off a fake tattoo of a cat and said he got it because he was "also into cats."
