Better Lyrics:
That Harry Connick is just a punk.
His record shows, he really blows
Can't do it My Way
His record shows, he really blows
Can't do it My Way
Original Lyrics:
To say the things he truly feels
and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way!
and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way!

Original Lyrics:
Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night

That we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through

That we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"The Best Is Yet To Come"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine.
Why They're Nonsensical: Since the Sun shines continuously, one can't see it without seeing it shine. Even if the Sun's light ever could go out for a time, the Sun would be quite invisible during that time, and no one would see it, since no other source of light in our solar system or its vicinity is anywhere nearly bright enough to illuminate anything so distant as the Sun to the point that it could be visible by reflected light.
Submitted by: Valerie Cameron
| "The Lady Is A Tramp"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: She's always too early for dinner at eight.
She loves the theatre and never comes late. She never bothers with people she hates. That's why the lady is a tramp. Why They're Nonsensical: I've never been able to make any sense of this song. Who is the lady being referred to? And how do any of those attributes in the first three lines contribute to making one a tramp?

Insulting Song Lyrics:
"My Funny Valentine"
The Insulting Lyrics: Your looks are laughable, Unphotographable. (also) Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak, Are you smart?
Why They're Insulting: At the end of the song, the singer begs the woman to stay with him in spite of all the physical and intellectual faults he sees in her. Good luck!

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"Nice 'N' Easy"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: The problem now, of course,
is to simply hold our horses. To rush would be a crime. Why They're Inappropriate: The song's whole message is about not rushing it. So from that point of view, holding one's horses is clearly part of a solution, not the problem.
Submitted by: Alison Runyon
| "The Lady Is A Tramp"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: She hates California --
It's cold and it's damp. Why They're Inappropriate: Since when is California noted for being cold and damp? Sure it's mountain heights can be cold, but isn't most of the state known for a mild to warm climate? And doesn't it have a lot of desert, including the driest in the United States?
