Zach Weinersmith @zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Funny thing is how misheard things are almost always more interesting? Like apparently a ton of songs just say something like "ah the years pass by," whereas some middle-aged guy talking about "the years that belong to girls" has a weird poignancy. 8250
Rob Beauchamp @robeauch.bsky.social · 24/08/2026For decades, I was off by one word for the chorus to "What a Fool Believes." I thought it was "What a fool believes he sees, the wise man has the power to reason away." I recently learned it's actually "NO wise man has the power to reason away." 100
Rob Beauchamp @robeauch.bsky.social · 24/08/2026In my version, the idea is that a wise man can be too smart for his own good, whereas a fool at least knows what he's seeing. It fits the theme of the song (and scans better). The correct version suggests that dummies should listen to smart people. I like my mis-heard version. 010
