Have you ever been singing along to a song and caught yourself belting out something, er, weird? Sometimes song lyrics are not always what they seem, or sound like, rather. Case in point: Chad Kroeger of Nickelback’s “Hero” from the first Spider-Man movie soundtrack.
There’s a verse near the end of the song where Chad and the featured artist Josey Scott (um, where are you now?) do a back-and-forth vocal exchange, which really confused me when the song was released back in 2002.
Misheard lyric:
“And they’re washing us (washing us)
They’re washing us (washing us)
As we all fly away”
Correction:
“And they’re watching us (watching us)
They’re watching us (watching us)
As we all fly away”
