I should have said that "for those of us between the ages of 11 and 16 when we first heard the song, it tracks."

I'm at work. We have some random Spotify generated Rock Mix playlist going. The song that's playing is almost over. My coworker, who hasn't spoken in probably 20 minutes, just says, "why can't they find the pyramids?" I have no idea what she's talking about and I tell her as much.

"What's he saying?" She says.
"What's who saying? Do you mean Eddie Vedder?" I say.
"Yeah."
"He's not saying anything about pyramids."
"What are the lyrics to this song?"
"Well... the song is called Better Man.... he's saying 'Can't find a better man.'"

I might never stop laughing. Of all the misheard PJ lyrics I've encountered, never once has "can't find the pyramids" come up. Amazing.

Recently I was taken aback when I learned that the second line in Release is “I feel the chill”. This whole time I swore he was saying “I hear the tune”. I even thought it was weird how he would say “tune” with a “ch” sound, like “chTune”, but I just chalked it up to one of Eddie’s weird vocal ticks.

It true. But just for accuracy sake, there is no "I" in either the real or misheard lyric.

I do kind of like my misheard lyric better. "I see the world, hear the tune" is nice. Although "chill" does rhyme with "windowsill".

Wow... though this may very well be his most mumbly song at that point.

You're telling me you've heard other people in your life hear "pyramids?" Really?

It's weird how the brain works. Now that I know, it's clear as day that's what he's saying.
