Good evening folks,

I love music (as I'm sure many of you do), and on occasion I encounter songs with sections I either cannot understand (because the artist fails to properly enunciate words) or deliberately inject my own lyrics. In this thread I'd like for us to have fun and at the same time seek assistance in finally finding out WHAT THE $^#! WAS ACTUALLY SAID.

Here is an example of Justin Timberlake's attempt with Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin Somethin":


The official Lyrics are "Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah".

While I like the official one, Justin's rendition not only doesn't sound bad it makes good sense.


Ok, I think you all understand what's being asked here so I'll kick it off with a silly take.

JAY-Z - Empire State Of Mind ft. Alicia Keys: Time Stamp


Official Chorus:
New York (Ayy, aha) (Uh, yeah)
Concrete jungle (Yeah) where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do (Yeah) (Okay)
Now you're in New York (Aha, aha, aha) (Uh, yeah)

What I hear:
New York (Ayy, aha) (Uh, yeah)
Concrete jungle wet dream tomato
There's nothin' you can't do (Yeah) (Okay)
Now you're in New York (Aha, aha, aha) (Uh, yeah)

If you listen closely, you should hear what I hear. :ROFLMAO:
