Video: ‘Are those Reebok or the Nike?’ is a misheard lyric, can you figure out the song?

We guarantee you know this song...

Joe Harrington

This could be the greatest misheard lyric of all time…

A DJ in a radio station in the Dominican Republic got a caller on during his request show and the outcome was just brilliant. We hear it a bit on Irish radio when callers go on air to pick a song but they can’t remember the title so they start to sing/say some of the lyrics.

The chap in the Central American country was in the same boat so he asked for the classic hit: “Are those Reebok or the Nike?”

The DJ scrolls through a few songs and finally finds what the listener is looking for, can you figure it out before the DJ does?

Even if this is a set up, we don’t care, it’s just great.

If you liked that, there are some more great misheard lyrics right here.
