Misheard Lyrics Story:

"You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man"

Misheard Lyrics:

For you're a big-toothed hen.
I happen to know it,
And I'm gonna stand right here.

Original Lyrics:

For you to get to him,
I'd have to move over,
And I'm gonna stand right here.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Robert Jones

First heard this as a child, when the misheard lyrics were as nearly as I could make out what was being said. As a grown up, I heard it again, after a long span of not hearing it, and my grown up perception and language skills made it more obvious what was actually being said.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Coal Miner's Daughter"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

The work we done was hard
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tard

Why They're Misrhymed:

Um, first of all, 'the work we done' is incorrect, grammatically speaking. It should be 'the work we did was hard' or “the work we had done was hard”. Second, and most obvious, 'hard' and 'tired' do not rhyme and never will, even with the Southern accent that makes it sounds really, really, really bad. Also, 'at night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired' doesn't make sense, because it implies that tiredness from their work is the only reason they sleep, even though sleep is natural. This song is screwed up.

"Coal Miner's Daughter"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

The work we done was hard
At night we'd sleep, 'cause we were tired

Why They're Misrhymed:

I think Loretta Lynn is the only person in the world who can make 'hard' rhyme with 'tired'.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"To Heck With Old Santa Claus"

The Lyrics:

So this year I'll build a big fire in the fireplace
Just like three little pigs I've read about.
And when that big bad wolf in red comes down the chimney,
He'll burn his whiskers, there'll be no doubt.

So to heck with old Santa Claus!
When he comes dashing through the show, I hope he falls.
I'd like to hit him in his ho-ho-ho
With a bunch of big snowballs!
To heck with old Santa Claus!

Why:

This could really put a damper on anybody's Christmas spirit, whether one believes Santa Claus to be real or not! And yet it is sung to a rousing and lively tune that could fit joyful lyrics. If I were Loretta, I'd be slower to admit wanting to act like pigs, even in allusion to a story in which the pigs were the heroes. The pigs' heroism certainly doesn't much transfer to her plan expressed herein!
