Colonel Potter was singing this song that goes “I love to go swimming with bowlegged women and swim between their legs…” but I misheard him as saying “four-legged women” instead of “bowlegged women” and for a moment I somehow thought he was singing about horses, and my eyebrows went up. Yeah, we all know he’s a horse guy and some of those old timey songs were bawdy but that’s risqué af!

Out of context thought of the day

what do you MEAN it's about a lonely guy named Jojo and not about the glorious badass trans woman protagonist of the next unreleased JJBA arc?

You’re probably familiar with the classic misheard lyrics like “hold me closer Tony Danza,” but here’s one I personally believed when I was a kid, just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Recently rewatched Once More, With Feeling for the hundredth-something time, and this happens to be the first time I've watched it with captions, and for twenty-four years, I've thought the dialogue between Sweet and Buffy about Buffy taking Dawn's place went:

Sweet: What if I kill you?

Buffy: Trust me, won't help.

Sweet: That's cool with me.

As in, I thought for almost a quarter of a century I thought that was Sweet accepting Buffy's deal, but he was actually saying "That's gloomy" (which in retrospect, makes Buffy's next line of "That's life" make more sense), and that recontectualizes a scene I have seen many times over the majority of my life! I am agog! I am aghast!

Actually, yes, it DOES make a lot more sense with the Wild West setting of the music video to see that the second line in “The Gambler” is “On a train bound for nowhere”, rather than “bound for Norway”.
