Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Don't Talk to Strangers"
Misheard Lyrics:
Now who's this someone I've been hearing of?
Original Lyrics:
Now who's this Don Juan I've been hearing of?

Story about this misheard lyric by: Samantha

After a few weeks of listening to Rick's cds, my daughters were all singing to the lyrics. I noticed my teen was missing this one lyric. I asked her about it one evening when my mom was over. Even my mom thought he was saying 'someone I've been hearing of.' I told them no, the word he is saying is Don Juan. I had to play it back a few times for them to hear it. I half expected my mom to miss this but not my teenager.

Funny Lyrics:

"'Jessie's Girl'"
The Funny Lyrics:
And she's lovin' him with that body,
I just know it
Why They're Funny:
I don't know, but this particular lyric makes the singer sound like a stalking freak. I also love it how his voice goes to a different pitch when he says 'I just know it'.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Love Somebody"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
You're undernourished and overfed
Why They're Nonsensical:
How can one be undernourished if one is overfed, which means, eating too much?

Insincere Lyrics:

"Jessie's Girl"
The Insincere Lyrics:
I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot.
Why They're Insincere:
Well, maybe if Rick had the b*lls to tell her that, he would know if the point was moot or not. As Phoebe of 'Friends' would say, 'Stop being so testosterony!'

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Jessie's Girl"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
I've played along with this charade
There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
Why They're Misrhymed:
Was Rick really thinking about these lyrics when he sung them?
Submitted by: rocky
"Jesse's Girl"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
You know I feel so dirty when they start talkin’ cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot
Why They're Misrhymed:
Not only do 'cute' and 'moot' not rhyme, these two lines are just plain bad lyrics.
