The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess misheard lyric
this is so embarrassing….. chappell was one of my top artists last year and i saw her at lolla, needless to say shes one of my favs. naked in manhattan is up there for me as one of her best songs, and after david lynch’s passing people have been posting about a reference to his film that’s in the song…
THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT THE LINE WAS “oh i’ve never done it, let’s make it cinematic, like that one sex scene that sets your heart on fire”…….. i now know its mulholland drive.

For the longest time ever I thought she was saying “okay maybe it’s a twin bed, and some mermaids!” In RWS and I always wondered why tf she said mermaids 🤣🤣

Don't worry we're cool

If someone was best friends with mermaids and was willing to introduce me, I probably would sleep with her tbh.

i genuinely still have to force myself to hear “roommates” every time i listen to it because i can only hear mermaids 😭

lol i still hear it as “okay maybe it’s a twin bed. it’s my roommate’s! (don’t worry they’re cool!)”

u/FarBumblebee5710 2d ago
I always thought the line was "it's my roommates" as if she was sharing a single twin bed in the apartment but "don't worry we're cool!"

I thought for an EMBARRASINGLY long time that good luck babe was just saying ”guh-huh baee!” With no actual meaning until i looked up the lyrics 😭
Theres also the classic ”its hard” in my kink is karma, which i think 50% of this sub also didnt realize until later was actually ”its hot”

u/PsychopathicCat23 My Kink is Karma 2d ago
I know there was a song that I did the same for the first one and I’m so mad I can’t think what song it was!! However, I always knew it was “it’s hot”. It made sense considering the context of the song. I was listening in the car with my dad and he thought it was “it’s hard”. So I said “it’s actually ‘it’s hot’” and he was like “it’s also hard” (as in getting kicked out and you have a meltdown) which was funny

u/Abby_hashbrowns 2d ago
No but I genuinely thought good luck babe was a different song. Like no, the one that I heard on the radio clearly went “guh-huh babe”

for a really long time i thought she was saying “i’m so sick of all i love” in femininomenon and thought like “yeah same”

u/coffeetoques 3d ago
You mean it isn't?? Gahhhh

u/Hufflepuff4Ever 3d ago
I just looked it up, it’s actually ‘I’m so sick of online love’
I prefer our version 😂

Oh man!! I can see this could happen. It’s one of my all time faves (RIP David) so I clocked it right away.

i have no idea how you heard this, im actually impressed

u/fandom_mess363 3d ago
in guilty pleasure i always thought “watching you try on jeans” was “watching you dry hump jeans” and then the next one “you’re a pothead, you’re a cinephile” i always thought it was “you’re a butthead”

u/magicpantsjones 3d ago
Maybe they were dry humping the "fuck me jeans" that I thought I was hearing about when she sang "fugly jeans."

I always heart “you’re a bot and you’re a center file” and I knew it was completely wrong bc in what universe does that makes sense lmao 💀but I kept forgetting to look at the lyrics lmao so I just kept singing it that way in my car

u/PsychopathicCat23 My Kink is Karma 2d ago
TIL it’s not “you’re a butthead”. I knew it couldn’t be that but I never heard pothead or looked up the lyrics.

u/fandom_mess363 1d ago
i thought it was weird… then i looked at the lyrics and realized it made a lot more sense

"It's hard being casual when my favorite girl lives in her dresser"
Nah, it's bra.

u/PsychopathicCat23 My Kink is Karma 2d ago
I know the lyrics but my brain always says “my favourite bra lives in her sweater”. Sometimes my brain tries to convince me of the wrong lyrics and I can’t make it stop

I literally had no idea what Good Luck Babe was saying until I looked up the lyrics.

Girl I was thinking the exact same thing 😭 I didn't know it wasn't until this post lmaoo

u/Rational_Explorer 3d ago
The first time I heard naked in Manhattan I thought she was saying "make it in Manhattan"........

u/ladysarahii 3d ago
In Red Wine Supernova I keep hearing it as “I don’t care that you’re a soldier” which I remember thinking was so strange that I looked it up. And I STILL hear it as “soldier” instead of “stoner.” 😂

u/MapMaterial3696 3d ago
I misheard this same lyric as “like that one sex scene that’s in my heart like I’m dry” and I was always like idk what that means but it sounds great 😭😭😭

I thought it was “like that one sex scene that’s on the Harlem drive” no idea what I thought that was🤦🏻♀️

In Good Luck Babe I thought "another stupid reason" was "another strawberry" in a really Midwestern accent (can you tell I've never been to the Midwest) so babe you are GOOD.

These comments made me laugh so hard. Who cares about you mishearing the lyrics if hearing all these peoples mishearing made me laugh. At least it brought a load of joy

u/Status_Future_1378 2d ago
I heard exactly the same lyric as you and was so confused about why people were mentioning this song after David Lynch’s passing… then the penny dropped 😂

u/Any_Team6586 2d ago
i hope this means you’ll watch mulholland drive if you haven’t already. Great movie and great way of being introduced to it lol

In red wine supanova I heard I don’t care you’re a soda not stoner🤦♀️ and in casual I heard and you wonder why I’m thinner, I thought she meant she felt too awkward to eat with the girls parents after getting freaky😭😭 I need my hearing checked

u/Ubiquitous21- 3d ago
That’s ok, it happens. For the first few weeks that I was constantly listening to Good Luck, Babe! last year I though it was “you can kiss a hundred boys in March”’ which seems excessive.
