Story about this misheard lyric by: David Pratter

I found out the correct lyrics when I rented the DVD of the movie 'How To Deal' starring Mandy Moore. It's an interesting video, it shows Liz's face on different album covers the whole time. The lyrics of the song are displayed as titles for the CD covers, they are parodies of other albums, similar to the album cover parodies displayed on amiright.com!

Insincere Lyrics:

"Only Son"

The Insincere Lyrics:

I'm the worst kind of son...

Why They're Insincere:

Right... that's because you're not a son, you're a daughter. I could understand if someone else wrote the song, but her name's in the credits.

"Never Said"

The Lyrics:

"I never said nothing."

Why:

We all know two negatives can't be in the same sentence. It sound be: "I never said anything", but we all know that doesn't sound as good as the original lyrics.
