"99 Problems"
Misheard Lyrics: If you're havin' girl problems
I feel bad for you, son I got 99 bottles, but the b**** ain't done. Original Lyrics: If you're havin' girl problems
I feel bad for you, son I got 99 problems, but a b**** ain't one. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Sully I had no idea what the song title was, I had heard it a few times on my computer. I started singing these misheard lyrics in my friends car, when he turns to me and solemnly says, 'You are wrong, dude.' Then he explains what the real lyrics are, and I explain why I thought it was 99 bottles. We laugh hysterically. I sincerely thought that this song was about a guy who was drinking a lot of alcohol at a party with a girl. Now what exactly could it mean by 'the bitch ain't done?' Well it could mean that she is just psychotic and wants to drink herself to death. I could also imagine a fat chick drinking a shitload of beer, and Jay-Z fearing that even with 99 bottles left he would still run out of alcohol. Jay-Z of course empatizes with the listener stating 'I feel bad for ya son.' |

Song Parody Fragments:
Gotta go and brush your shoulders off
Short hair's the worst too, go and brush your shoulders off
Dandruff is crazy baby, don't forget that I need to
Buy you some Head & Shoulders
I gotta buy you some Head & Shoulders
I gotta buy you some Head & Shoulders
I gotta buy you some Head & Shoulders
I gotta buy you some Head & Shoulders
Go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
N----z is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
Where's my motherfucking dinner.
And who be rolling with my dinner.
Delivery boy better get it right.
He better get it right.
What's my mother fucking name? Jigga.
And who am I rolling with?
My niggas.
Bitches better get it right.
You better get it right.

Insulting Lyrics:
"Encore"
The Insulting Lyrics: [I'm} Back to take over the globe, now break bread.
Why They're Insulting: I find these lyrics insulting. He is saying that he is going to take over the earth and that we should break bread for him. Is it just me or don't you usually break bread at church for Jesus?! Get a grip and a life, Jay- Z! You are no Jesus Crist.
