Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"I'm Going Down"

Misheard Lyrics:

My whole world stops, sundown.

Original Lyrics:

My whole world's upside down.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Alicia

I was in my 4th period class. I was singing at the top of my lungs after my teacher told me to stop. But I didn't like her, so I didn't listen. I blurted out these lyrics, and everybody just stop what they were doing and looked at me crazy. Even people who didn't even know the song looked at me strange. My lyrics really don't make any sense?

Song Parody Fragments:

"Family Affair"

Better Lyrics:

Let's get up off our @$$#$, school the masses
Of society
Don't let'em get away with slaying English
Language, can't you see
Don't need no education, graduation
Vocabulary skills
Just need a record deal with time to kill
And hundred dollar bills

Original Lyrics:

Let's get it crunk, we gon' have fun up on it
In this dance-arie
We got ya'll open, now ya floatin'
So you gots to dance for me
Don't need no hateration, holleration
In this dance-arie
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waiting
So just dance for me

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"When We"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

I know you'll always choose what's best for us
Cuz we make good love

Why They're Nonsensical:

Great song, but I think the lyrics are nonsensical, because it doesn't automatically follow from the fact that the guy is good in bed that he will be able to make sound decisions regarding the entire relationship.

"Family Affair"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

Don't need no hateration, holeration.

Why They're Nonsensical:

The obvious double-negative doesn't bother me, but Mary seems to write her songs with help from the ever useful 'Big Book of Made-up Words'. Tell me, what is "hateration" and/or "holeration"?
