From Raye’s Escapism (“dumb decision” vs. “done decision”) to Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso (“I got this femboy” vs. “I got this one boy”), today we’re going to investigate how our brains trick us into hearing the wrong words.
And so many people misheard Taylor Swift’s Cruel Summer, that even Olivia Rodrigo got the lyrics wrong (“he looks so pretty like a devil” vs. “he looks up grinning like a devil”).
Plus, we’ll listen to Camila Cabello’s “Quismois” in I’ll Be Home for Christmas and why Tate McRae’s It’s Ok I’m Ok has us wondering if she’s saying “I be like I’m a virgin” or “I be like oh what version.”
It’s all thanks to “singing accents” and how our brains make sense of stretched syllables and slurred words. See if you can hear it.
Thank you Earthfueled for the animations!!
