Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Loser"

Misheard Lyrics:

Soy un parado(r)

Original Lyrics:

Soy un perdedor

Story about this misheard lyric by: Eric

My girlfriend insisted that it was part of the clever nonsense that makes up most of the song. One day, I mentioned it to a friend of mine who was in Spanish class. He said it was "Soy un perdedor", which was Spanish for "I'm a loser", much more fitting for the song. He pointed it out to me in his Spanish dictionary, where as I showed him the homonym "parado(r)", which meant "fork".

Hidden Messages:

"Waitin' For A Train"

At the beginning of the song for the first 30 seconds, the man says "I'm an alien from another sphere. The thing I like about the Earth is the range of colors, fantastic to mundane, brilliant to dull. As I was penetrating the ozone, I perchance to notice the orange peel like quality of light playing upon the ocean. I got to go right now. Someone is videotaping me in my spaceship."
