Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"Une Annee Sans Lumiere" Misheard Lyrics: Je montrai un cheval (I will show a horse.) Original Lyrics: Je monte un cheval (I mount a horse.)

Story about this misheard lyric by: Cat In my French class, I was taught not to pronounce the final 'e' in words such as 'monte'. So since Win Butler pronounced it, I initially interpreted it as 'montrai.' I think he needs to improve his accent, being that he initially hails from Texas.
