Story about this misheard lyric by: Dr. Eggplant

This song was part of the soundtrack to the video game True Crime: New York City, making it one of my most-listened-to Misfits songs and even though I knew these weren't the correct lyrics (they don't make any sense) I never looked them up until a couple of years ago, so I've been singing the wrong lyrics probably hundreds of times and then living with them for about a decade. Let's just say they stuck.

Funniest Song Lyrics:

"Helena" The Funny Lyrics: If I cut off your arms and I cut off your legs would you still love me? Why They're Funny: I sincerely doubt that she would still love you if you did that. Submitted by: Lou Zer	"Last Caress" The Funny Lyrics: I got something to say, I killed your baby today Doesn't matter much to me, as long as it's dead Why They're Funny: This is a horrible line in such a peppy little tune - you can't help but sing right along. I'm probably going to hell for it, but I laugh my head off whenever I hear this. Submitted by: Jdawg

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Helena"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

There are fifty-two ways to kill a man
One and two are the same and they both work as well

Why They're Nonsensical:

If there are fifty-two ways to kill someone, two of which are identical to one another; then ultimately there are only fifty-one ways. Why say there are fifty-two and then imply that there are fifty-one? And furthermore, how does the singer know for sure that there are a certain number of ways to kill someone??? Did he count??

"Helena"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

If I cut off your arms, and cut off your legs
Will you still love me, anyway?

Why They're Nonsensical:

Sure, I'd still love you! All you did was mutilate half my body! *Blood is splashing everywhere*
