i have been arguing with someone over one of the lines of the count duckula intro song i told him the line was "he won't bite beast or man cos' he's a vegetari-an!" but he said it sounded like "vegan-yeah" im sure its vegetarian but the singer is saying it so fast its hard to make out. why would it be vegan though sounds like half vegan and vegetarian. anyone got any idea of which one it might be? do the subtitles on the dvds say anything about the lyrics?

It's definitely "vegetarian". Like you said, why would it be "vegan"? The reason it's a bit difficult to make out the exact words at that point in the song would be Duckula giving his little shriek. But is it vegetarian, definitely. (The subtitles say so too, I believe.)

Thanks arabella i knew i was right. theres weird stuff on how folk misheard the lyrics. i just typed count duckula lyrics in the google bar and you should have seen the stuff people thought the song was. alright it was only a couple of verses but it was funny all the same.
did you guys have any trouble making out the lyrics when you heard them first time?

I often got confused at one line. I thought for a while it was 'If you're looking for some fun - you can always give him a 'phone!' I was only 8!

did you guys have any trouble making out the lyrics when you heard them first time? There was one point where I thought a line in the credits theme said "Man you had a crush with...", before I eventually found that it was really "Man you had a brush with..."

The very last line of the end song I think I thought was 'and maybe you'll never meet with...' Although my memoey's hazy.

Nightwish, I totally know what you mean. "Vegetarian" does sound very hard to make out, doesn't it? The problem is, during that lyric, the carrot Duckula is holding happens to sprout fangs, and we can vaguely hear the freaked-out Count yell "Ahh!" under the singer's words.
Btw, doesn't it also sound like they say "In the heart of Translyvania, when the vampire pulled a finger..." I always chuckle at that, even though I know what it really says, of course.

hey Shy, i saw that on the one of the websites that got it wrong. (i think they eventually got it right) that was the one i was talking about. the other misheard line was "you won't bite a piece of man. cos you dont know how he hacks" lol Pretty crazy huh?

"In the heart of Transylvania, In the vampire hall of fang-ya..."
That's what I used to think it was. lol
