"Viva la Vida"
Misheard Lyrics: I hear carousel bells ringing,
Rowan Calgary choirs singing He more, mirror my soul, seal My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can’t explain, I know Saint Peter will call my name And rule this world, But that was when I ruled the world. Original Lyrics: I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing,
Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain, I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word, But that was when I ruled the world. |

Funniest Song Lyrics:

The Funny Lyrics: I jumped across; I swam across for you....
Oh what a thing to do And it was all yellow Why They're Funny: Haaaaaaaaa!! This is funny because he swam across some thing and he says 'it was all yellow' which implies that he peed in the water!

Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"A Whisper"
The Repetitive Lyrics: A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper
I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks I remember your face remember when you are lost A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper Why They're Repetitive: Definitely the worst Coldplay song, that set of lyrics is all he says, I think, I can't stand it.
Submitted by: silverbeatle
| "Clocks"
The Repetitive Lyrics: 1. The Chord layout
2. Ooooooooo ahhhhh ooooo ahhh Why They're Repetitive: Ok, first of all, he just keeps playing the same chords over and over again. Congratulations man, you can move your fingers in the same direction on a piano. I'm surprised he didn't get carpal tunnel syndrome. Second, if the chords weren't boring enough, he just keeps singing oooooooo ahhhh, which doesn't even make sense. If that is seriously the chorus, I'm mourning for my generation.
