Am I the only one this happens to? I used to "feel it coming in the yellow night" with Phil Collins. What are yours?

English is a stress based language (if you heard a peanuts-style audio blurrer, you’d still hear regular ups and downs, whereas Spanish would sound monotone), so English speakers rely on that emphasis to determine where one word ends and another begins. When we sing, we lose a lot of the stress indicators, so it’s pretty common for songs in stress based languages to be misunderstood.
Plus people get audiologically confused by all the sounds in any language
And once you hear it wrong the first time, your brain keeps perceiving it that way every time you hear the song lol
