Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Don't Pay The Ferryman"

Misheard Lyrics:

Don't lay the pelican
Don't even eat its rice.

Original Lyrics:

Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Jimmy

It could raise certain questions about the artists relationship with pelicans, if what I thought I heard were actualy the real lyrics. So I toiled for endless minutes (without a break, yeah you heard right) to find the true lyrics, and thus put my mind at ease.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Lady In Red"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

I hardly know this beauty by my side

Why They're Nonsensical:

As far as I'm concerned the guy in this number sounds like he's been smoking some mind altering weed or something.Close scrutiny of the lyrics leaves one in a somewhat confused state.Are he and this wonderful lady in red an item or not?Guys,it's difficult to say.If they are,what's with all these men making a play for her?What's with him saying that he's never seen that red dress?What's with him saying that he hardly knows her?If they're not an item,why is he referring to her as MY lady in red at the end of the song?Yes guys,this dude seems to be befogged by a big red cloud of uncertainty.The cloud gets thicker still,for at one point he says that there's nobody at this location but himself and said lady.Like,where did they all go?He says he'll never forget the way she looks tonight..He'd better not,because judging from the pile of disjointed crap we've heard from him,he's just about ready to awake from his drug induced slumbers.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Lady In Red"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
Looking for a little romance

Why They're Misrhymed:

Chris, it may have rhymed on paper but didn't you notice something queer when you sang those lines, especially since you have an English accent with it? 'Dance' and 'romance' don't sound alike! If you had an American tongue, you would've got away with it very easily!
