I've always found the occasion of mishearing lyrics interesting. It can, for better or worse, give a song a different meaning. It can sometimes give us a funny story or maybe just slightly confuse us.
What I want to know is if there an equivalent to this for playing video james?
P.S. I am absolutely not here to hear about Street Fighter's accidental comboes becoming a system in future games. That would be like an artist remastering a single to include fan favourite lyrics (which has probably already happened).
I think the best example of this is misinterpreting sprites in old games. Thereās tons of examples of this out there frmo Zelda and Pokemon. One of those things where once you see it, you canāt un-see it.
Well this is just an example of the exact thing youāre talking about, but the Nadesico opening was used in the Saturn game so Iāll count it:

At exactly the 60 second mark she says "you get a bunny"

there's also this (as filtered through anime)

turns out the answer is just "gibberish" which is easily arguable as racist!? It is a little difficult to tell where they were coming from but the fact they originally wanted to do it in japanese kinda clinches it for me. https://archive.org/details/GamePro_Issue_058_May_1994/page/n27/mode/2up
@Syzygy#29894 @exodus#29892 The character is named Tarin and is probably supposed to be reminiscent of Mario, yeah. Especially since they reused his design for a character in Ocarina of Time named Talon, who has a very Luigi-ish brother named Ingo
@Syzygy#29894 Oh yeah I definitely saw Agahnim that way. Thereās also the discussion here of the FF7 save point and how itās not a question mark.
Speaking of FF7. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/b/b9/Sector_6.png
This has got to be one of the top contenders for the most commonly mis interpreted visuals in video games.
Speaking of Linkās Awakening, the Power Bracelet in that game always looked like a croissant to Toby, so thereās an easter egg reference to that fact in Undertale.
The Revelations: Persona remake into modern Persona standards on the PSP featured numerous cuts to the soundtrack and remixes that I personally didnāt like as much as the originals.
Among those changes, by far my least favorite was the remix of the main battle theme, the track you probably hear the most in the game, which was given a vocal track in the P3 onward style.
I mishear a lot of the lyrics. Which wouldnāt be a big deal if it wasnāt, again, the most frequently played track in the game.
I wish I could ignore the vocal track here and let it blend into the background music, like most non-English lyrics to me or even to English vocals when theyāre mixed so low to be mostly unintelligible (like the Deva Yuga track in the original game). Here, where the vocals are impossible to ignore but Iām struggling to figure out exactly what is being sung and make it make sense (ā¦I canāt hear anything other than āoh, my ride is bentā at 0:36) it just takes me completely out of the game.
