Story about this misheard lyric by: Mary S.

My girlfriend and co-worker was singing along with the radio at work and was singing "It's a wheezy to fall in love." I listened for a few repeats of the catchy refrain before I aked her, "What's a wheezy?" She stopped singing with her mouth open and had the dumbest look on her face before she said, "I don't know. I think it's just something bad."

Funny Lyrics:

"Blue Bayou"
The Funny Lyrics:
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
Why They're Funny:
Every time I hear this, it is difficult restraining my laughter, if I'm in a situation where that is prudent. Maybe I learned an obscure term from my mother who once worked in a sewing room. She told me that in that sewing room, the term 'baby behind' was used for a certain anatomical feature. It is the anatomical feature that I've since discovered to be more commonly referred to as 'cleavage'.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):

"Getting Banned in Vegas"
Clean-cut Linda Ronstadt would seem to be the last person to get ousted from Sin City, but indeed she was. The grounds: during one of her shows, she dedicated a performance of her hit song, "Desperado" (originally by the Eagles), to radical leftist author and documentarian Michael Moore. While this gesture, considering the lyrics of the song, was probably tongue-in-cheek, the conservative local business-owners didn't find it funny, so they banned her.

"Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me"
The Lyrics:
Poor, poor, pitiful me.
(also)
Lord have mercy on me; Woe is me.
Why:
You wouldn't want this ringtone to suddenly become your entrance music while walking down the aisle.
