Listening to Pandora while winding down the day and Sleepyhead by Passion Pit comes on with the lyrics "Please unicorn eat tacos with me." Got me wondering, could that possibly be the most random song lyric this side of Beck?

Whee areyou getting those lyrics from?

Here are the real lyrics to the whole song:


And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going

And you said
It was like fire around the brim
Burning solid
Burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I drag you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst
With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls against your rules against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes but go in disguise like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

Go ahead

Well done. One of my favorite songs.

If you can translate the lyrics to the Flys - Got you where I want you, when they're rapping at the end I'd appreciate it.

You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
But I don't care for sugar, honey if I can't have you
Since you've abandoned me
My whole life has crashed
Won't you pick the pieces up
'Cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass

Love me some Annie Lennox


Oh wait...I thought you meant just post a random songs lyrics...damn, I failed. Let me get back to you on this one.

I'm not personally a fan of this song, but I always found it funny that at the 37 second mark he says "I see inside the salad bar". Makes me hungry every time.

Listen starting at 0:08. On this version it just says "vocalizing"

Sleepyhead- Passion Pit Lyrics - YouTube


Gotcha, I figured it out.

It is a sample from a Celtic folk song. Óró Mo Bháidín by Mary O'Hara.
It's tough to figure out, becuase it's not in english.

The section in the beginning of the song is as follows:

‘S go hOíche Fhéil’ Eoin ní thiocfaidh mé aniar

translates to:
And I won't come back until St. John's Night

The same song is sampled at the end of the song where it sounds like Aaaah aaaahh....

Óró mo churaichín ó!

translates to:
Oh, my little currach o! (A currach is a boat)


It's a pretty song played on a harp. Some of the tune is in Sleepyhead as well.



I had to look this up, because I've seen Passion Pit in concert (they were extremely good) and not once did I ever hear anything about tacos.







I like tacos...

Those definitely aren't the words, but it does sound like that. I think you just hijacked this thread and turned it into "Best misheard lyrics". I remember someone singing "soup inside a bun" to Suicide Blonde by INXS.

Yeah sorry, I kind of did. But it didn't seem like the thread was really going anywhere anyway. Just doing my best to keep you on the recent threads page!

By the way, I fully recomend the full Passion Pit album, Manners to anyone. It is a really good album from start to finish.

My buddies and I use to joke that all Deftones songs were written totally random. I know, they are probably suppose to be deep and meaningful, but it has to atleast resemble SOMETHING!

All you'd ever want to know in the wide world of misinterpreted lyrics.

Also, to add to the conversation of random lyrics, I give you my personal favorite from the song "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand" by Primitive Radio Gods:

"You swim like lions through the crest and bathe yourself in zebra flesh."

:laugh:

Every song by The Mars Volta's has lyrics that can only be described as completely inane babble...which doesn't detract one bit from the amazing musicianship that band possesses.

Also, Passion Pit is terrible. Yuck.

From the same song...my brother thought the part that was sampled from B.B. King ("I've been down-hearted, baby") was "I bent down and farted, baby!" when it first came out.

Ahh, middle school. :rolleyes:

Now I have to listen to that song...
