I was just wondering if at some point in your TSOM loving life, anyone here misheard any quotes or lyrics. I know I did.
Originally I thought 'It'll be my first party, Father' was 'It'll be my best party Father' and 'Oh can this be happening to me?' was 'Things must be happening to me'. I also misheard 'A lark who is learning to pray' as 'A lark who is sailing away'
Don't ask me why.
Anyway, I was just curious to see if anyone here was in the same boat.

YES! Okay so this one is kind of embarrassing. I had this happen to me with this line... Max: "They just wanted to sing for me, bless their hearts."
When I was a kid... I misheard it as: Max: "They just wanted to sing for me, Bestard."
As in I thought Georg's name was Bestard. I was like what kind of name is that!?

I spent the first few years of my TSOM obsession as a small child thinking that Georg's name was Gail. It made my mother so angry, lol, but she knows diddly squat about German so she couldn't actually tell me what his name was. I'm not entirely sure when or how that one got corrected, to be honest. I wish I knew.
My seven-year-old charge, on the other hand, is much more forward-thinking and asked me very loudly several months ago, "Is his name GAAAAAY?"

you should just look at her pointedly and say, "you may call him 'Captain'..." and then do a double take.

Oh I remember when I first watched it I misheard the Reverend Mother I thought she said "His wife died seven years ago" and my eight year old self was frantically doing some math in her head and going ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) when she realised that Gretl was only five years old. Of course, now I know it's actually "several years ago" haha Omg cass I remember thinking he name was Gail too! And I was thinking what a funky German name that was

I had forgotten that. This doesn't apply to me, but I know quite a few people seem to have thought that when Maria's at the gates to the villa, she says "Oh, hell" and not "Oh, help." ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) As for the Gail thing, it's Elsa who's to blame for that one. When she says, "Oh, Georg, he's just a boy!" it sounded to me like she was saying Gail, and to be honest, it still does. you should just look at her pointedly and say, "you may call him 'Captain'..." and then do a double take. If it weren't for the fact that I've been tutoring her in German for a while now, I would have, but instead it spiraled into an exclamation that when she has a baby, she's going to name it "Of" (Rolfe). Whoa girl, slow down!!

The last time I watched the film (the other week on the bus on my TSOM tour) I heard Max say 'our little Fraulein'. I always thought it was 'out of our Fraulein'

"Berlin. They've offered me a commission. "
I thought it was "Fraulein,they've offered me a commission. "

Yeah yeah I misheard the lyrics of "My favourite things" Instead of "schnitzel with noodles" I thought it was "Shrimp soup with noodles" ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Well, hey, as far as dishes go, this is probably just as (if not more) authentic

When I was young, I always thought the Captain said, "...borrow your cattager's car." I asked my aunt what a 'cattager' was and then found out it was 'caretaker's' car, haha. We now joke about it to this day.

I lost someone very close to me this weekend. I only had one conversation with her about TSOM (most of the people in my life have seen it once or twice, but have no devotion to it like I do). Anyway, we were talking about it being a good movie, and she said "Don't you think it's kind of weird that his name is Gaylord?" hahaha. The thought of this is making me laugh, which I desperately need today.
As for me, I used to think that Liesl said "willingly iverly" instead of "willingly I believe" during 16 going on 17. I always thought, I wonder what ivery means.
