I know one thing that can be a goof. In Human by Human League, you can clearly hear female singers singing, "I am just a man.":eek: :lol:

View Full Version : Goofs in songs? Janice Johnson 04-25-2006, 11:08 AM I know one thing that can be a goof. In Human by Human League, you can clearly hear female singers singing, "I am just a man.":eek: :lol: Kazza 04-25-2006, 11:57 AM I don't think that's a goof. The 'I am just a man' looks like it's part of the chorus. Ireneparalegal 04-25-2006, 11:59 AM it's not a goof. the girls are singing those words but it's the "guy" in the group who they are saying it for. Many many songs have had female background vocals although the song was being song by a man. no goof in that. I'm only human Of flesh and blood I'm made Human Born to make mistakes I am just a man Please forgive me Steve M. 05-11-2006, 11:35 AM In the Mamas and Papas' "I Saw Her Again," toward the end of the song, Denny Doherty comes in too early on a vocal line. Rather than redo it or edit it out, John Phillips left it in because he thought it sounded good. James 05-17-2006, 03:46 AM The other day I heard Joan Baez's rendition of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," which The Band once did, and she did not change some of the wording, and the song was still written from a man's point of view. :eek: Steve M. 05-17-2006, 09:39 AM The other day I heard Joan Baez's rendition of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," which The Band once did, and she did not change some of the wording, and the song was still written from a man's point of view. :eek: She got two lyrics wrong: She sang, "I took the train to Richmond that fell." The line is "By May the tenth, Richmond had fell." The other line she screwed up is when she sang "Like my father before me, I'm a working man." No, no, no, no, no! It's "Like my father before me, I will work the land!"" ohno: Steve M. 05-17-2006, 09:47 AM Beatles goofs: In the stereo version of "Please Please Me," John sings "Why do I never even try girl" instead of the correct "I know you never even try girl" toward the end, and thus sings "Come on" with a chuckle at his own snafu. In "I'll Get You," Paul sings background. When John sings "I'm gonna change your mind," Paul mistakenly sings "I'm gonna make your mind," and as a result the lyric sounds like "I'm gonna mange your mind." Mangia! :lol: :rotflmao: "In their version of Chuck Berry's "Rock and Roll Music," John sings "Any old time you use it" twice in the last two recitations of the chorus, instead of the correct "any old way you choose it / any old tme you use it" configuration. Also, he begins the last chorus recitation with the line "That's why I go for that. . ." instead of the correct "So I can hear some of that. . . " Check out the original Berry recording. (The Beatles's version, ironically enough, was recorded in one take.) Janice Johnson 05-19-2006, 11:50 AM The goof- one of the singers sings, 'It's just another Sunday", but the "radio" broadcast in the song says, 'It's a beautiful Saturday."(this is the part where a "radio" announcer says "I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday, I've seen that low amount of traffic Here's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps" Steve M. 05-19-2006, 11:54 AM That whole song was a goof! :barf: |
