Story about this misheard lyric by: Lauren Overstreet This is a very bizarre mishearing of a lyric, but I promise, my story is absolutely true. I was shopping in a Wal Mart, where they often play music on a sound system, but the music is sometimes interrupted by announcements. I didn't even know for sure until I came home and searched lyrics sites whether I heard the beginning of the song or a part that came back after an announcement interrupted it. It must have been the latter case, for the real lyrics as cited above are towards the end of the song, not at the beginning (though very similar lines occur closer to the beginning). Anyhow, at the point where it first caught my ear, it sounded for all the world like she was singing "War is cool" (I didn't recognize the song or the singer at that point), I thought for a moment I must be hearing some satirical anti-war song, with "War is cool" being declared ironically. Then by the time she reached the high note on the second syllable of sugar, I suddenly recognized the song for the old familiar song from 'Mary Poppins' that it is. I knew by then that she hadn't sung "War is cool". Now recognizing the song, I knew the lyrics approximately as something like "Oh, a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down." I puzzled for a while over how "Oh" could sound so much like "War". But then a lyrics site told me that this particular instance of the chorus, later in the song, has "For" instead of "Oh" as in the earlier occurrence of the chorus. "For" could sound much more like "War', making my mishearing somewhat less outlandish than it seemed all the way home from Wal Mart! |

Song Parody Fragments:
If I am firm but kind.
And all those children, Heaven bless me.
They will play tricks on me and scare me.
(Certainly better fits how her early encounters with the children are about to go!)
I will be firm but kind.
And all those children, Heaven bless them.
They will look up to me and mind me.
And done a thousand guys
I'd never done before
And done a thousand things
I'd never done before

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Sunny Bank"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning. And who should be upon that ship On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day? And who should be upon that ship On Christmas Day in the morning? Why They're Nonsensical: This song is a somewhat variant version of what seems to be known better (in the U.S. at least) as "I Saw Three Ships". The words vary considerably from that familiar song, and the tune varies somewhat as well. The first two lines cited end the song's second verse, and what follows is in the third verse. Neither in these lines nore elsewhere in the song is there any hint as to how three ships suddenly turned to one ship, or why the reference suddenly went from three ships to the singular "that ship" without explanation. It is still nonsensical, even if it is intended to be an improvement over other versions of "I Saw Three Ships", with words such as "And what was in those ships all three?", with answers such as "'Twas Joseph and his fair lady" or "The Virgin Mary and Christ were there", creating most bizarre images indeed as to how either of those pairs might be in all three ships. This "Sunny Bank" version seems to mysteriously deal with that dilemma by having the three ships inexplicably turn into just a single vessel. Those aforesaid familiar "I Saw Three Ships" versions generally go on to say that the three ships sailed into (the non-seaport of) Bethlehem. At least this "Sunny Bank" version foregoes that absurdity.

Misrhymed Lyrics:
"The Rain In Spain"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
Why They're Misrhymed: Julie Andrews forces rain, spain, main and plain to rhyme - they just don't!!
[Ed's note: Whether one can stand Julie Andrews is another matter, but I am speechless by the assertion that "Rain", "Spain", "Main" and "Plain" don't rhyme. By definition, they MUST rhyme. They are all single-syllable words that end with "ain" and there is no difference in the way the are pronounced!] Submitted by: Monkees Nelly Lady

| "Just You Wait"
Opening Lines: Just you wait 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
Comments: "Just You Wait" is from the 1957 Broadway musical "My Fair Lady" (music by Frederick Lowe and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner). "My Fair Lady" was based upon George Bernard Shaw's play, "Pygmalian". Julie Andrews played the original Eliza Doolittle, but unfortunately would not get the role in the 1964 motion picture adaption, that would go to Audrey Hepburn.
