Misheard Lyrics Story:
|
"I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor"
Misheard Lyrics: Montagues and Calculus
or Montagues and Calus Original Lyrics: Montagues and Capulets
|
Story about this misheard lyric by: Pirka Oh, I've done it this time. I'd always wondered why they mentioned 'Calculus' in the song, and what the heck that had to do with Montagues, or a guy named Montague? Montague doing an equation? Of course, my Father corrected me in the car. So, there is no exam cramming involved, just a well-placed Romeo and Juliet reference...dang me! |
Repetitive Lyrics:
"Say Say Say"
The Repetitive Lyrics: All alone
I'm sitting by the phone Waiting for you Baby Why They're Repetitive: That's all they say in this song!

Dirty Lyrics:
"I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor"
The Dirty Lyrics: I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Why They're Dirty: People often say that someone who is a good dancer (looks good on the dance floor) is a good f**k. So here we have some one saying "I BET that you look good on the dance floor,” Doesn't really take a genius to work out what he is actually saying here.
