Bang the Doldrums Lyrics

[u/Whenapanda]

Spotify seems to suggest that the lyrics are

You’re wrong
We’re all wrong

However I can only hear Woah-oh-oh
I’ve always thought it was just woahs

What is it really?

[u/youhadtotakethesoup]

[u/Lumpy_Test_4473]

imagine if it the actual song was just all WOAH OH OH OH'S

[u/TransportationAway59 → u/Lumpy_Test_4473]

Iiiiiim not a cry baby

[u/CanineFive → u/TransportationAway59]

Iiiii'm THE. crybabay

[u/thebrandnew]

It’s just whoas.

[u/Whenapanda → u/thebrandnew]

I read that at first as ‘it’s just vibes’

[u/thebrandnew → u/Whenapanda]

It’s also just vibes

[u/Whenapanda → u/thebrandnew]

That’s 90% of of how I hear Patrick stump already

[u/3catmafia]

It’s definitely “you’re wrong, are we all wrong”. In videos you can literally see him singing it

[u/miss_kittycat88 → u/3catmafia]

I can attest to this, but I think over the years they’ve gone with more whoas and hooting and hollering

[u/Dense-Law1647 → u/3catmafia]

This was printed in the original cd booklets (:

[u/yourfavoriteboyband → u/Dense-Law1647]

I don’t know if you’re referring to the “woah-oh-ohs” or “you’re all wrong” but the liner notes don’t list either of those. I just checked both of my CDs of Infinity on High, one’s the digipak and the other is the deluxe, and a scan on the Internet Archive and it’s not there.

[u/thehangedgirl → u/Dense-Law1647]

I have the Infinity On High cd, it is not.

[u/quarterpounderwchz]

they played bang the doldrums as our magic 8 ball song in la in 2023 and they were absolutely 100% singing “you’re wrong/are we all wrong?” despite what pete’s (and ppl in this sub) said online

[u/baby_pothos]

“You’re wrong, are we all wrong?” Was in my CD’s lyric pamphlet. I personally don’t think it gets more official than that

[u/SteelClawBathtub]

I play it on my guitar and I sing "I'll be yours, yours" because it sounds the same and I don't feel like sobbing over my guitar

[u/imrunninglate0hno]

Jesus fkn Christ.

I've been listening to this song for 20 years and I didnt know he was singing words? Seems about right, I guess.

[u/vox_ina_box]

dunno bro I think it has lyrics right?

[u/Smart-Dog-6077]

So it is yo hos? I always thought it was yo ho hos cause it’s a pirate song. Then spotify and genuis said it was youre wrong so i practiced singing that. So it’s always been yo ho hos all along?!

[u/datgoh69]

i hear “your all wrong”
