Misheard Lyrics:

"We Need A Little Christmas"
Misheard Lyrics:
Candles in the window,
Carol ate your spinach.
Original Lyrics:
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
"We Need A Little Christmas"
Misheard Lyrics:
It's time we hung some tin snips
On your head again now.
Original Lyrics:
It's time we hung some tinsel
On the evergreen bough.
"We Need A Little Christmas"
Misheard Lyrics:
Camels in the window
Carols at the spinet
Original Lyrics:
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinet
"Misty"
Misheard Lyrics:
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My cat from Mike Love
Into mystery and too much in love.
Original Lyrics:
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty and too much in love.

Funny Lyrics:

"Misty"
The Funny Lyrics:
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play.
Why They're Funny:
Oh, how that makes true love such a hard thing to call. So often have I been deceived in my search for true love when someone walked my way and only 999 violins began to play!

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Marshmallow World"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
The world is your snowball, see how it grows.
Thats how it goes whenever it snows.
The world is your snowball just for a song.
Get out and roll it along!
Why They're Nonsensical:
First, the thought of the world growing like a snowball? Huuunnnnhh? And then telling you to roll the world along like a snowball. Think you could, considering the Earth only weighs about 6 sextillion tons? But even if you COULD roll something that heavy, on what surface would you roll it?!? This song is generally delightful, quaint and dainty to be sure, but these lines are just OVER THE TOP in the nonsense category, compared to most anything!

"Wonderful, Wonderful"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
Why They're Nonsensical:
And why not a gaze in her lips while she's at it?
Submitted by: Heather Patton

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Small World"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
We have so much in common, it's a phenomenon
Why They're Misrhymed:
Would have worked as a rhyme, except for that troublesome last syllable of 'phenomenon', which just dangles there without being part of the rhyme.

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Merry Christmas"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Santa Claus will stop,
And I know he'll drop
Exactly what you wanted
From your chimney top.
Why They're Inappropriate:
Gee, hope that "exactly what you wanted" isn't breakable! This isn't the usual Santa Claus story. In the usual version he comes down the chimney with what you want (If you're nice, at least!) and puts it in your stocking. I like the usual version better! This song as a whole isn't bad, but it probably is my least favorite on a CD called "Winter Wonderland" by Johnny Mathis.
