Misrhymed Lyrics:
"At My Funeral"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Well I can't be sure where I'm headed after death,
But if I can I would ike to meet my Maker There's one or two things I'd sure like to ask. Why They're Misrhymed: Brad Roberts may be a lyrical genius, but that doesn't even come close to rhyming! (and kinda ironic for a confirmed atheist to be pondering such things.)

Scary Song Lyrics:
"Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm"
The Lyrics: they lurched and shook all over the church floor
he couldn't quite explain it they had always just gone there Why: okay well the whole song actually scared me to a point where I even had nightmares about it and I was thirteen when this song was hot and always on the radio airwaves (pretty pathetic huh? a 13 year old having nightmares because of a song) and these lyrics always terrified me to no end for some reason oh and also Brad Roberts' voice didn't help at all to calm me down
