I want your Buddha paradise.

Original Lyrics:

I want your bird of paradise.

Story about this misheard lyric by: V

I was asking my friend if these were actually the real lyrics, which was right about when she broke into laughter. She explained there was a bird involved and no Buddhism references whatsoever. Shame.

Funny Lyrics:

"Crush On You" The Funny Lyrics: Dead flies in my scotch with ice Why They're Funny: Really, can I explain it? It's a riot! Next thing you know they'll say something like "I made you a cookie but I eated it". (that quote was from I Can Has Cheezburger) Submitted by: Amanda	"The Look" The Funny Lyrics: Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer, she's a juvenile scam. Never was a quitter. Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look. Why They're Funny: Who is this chick? And why do we need so many mixed metaphors to describe her?? Maybe this song makes sense when translated into Swedish... Tasty like a raindrop?? Delicious. Submitted by: Benjamin

Repetitive Lyrics:

"The Look"

The Repetitive Lyrics:

Na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na
She's got the look.

Why They're Repetitive:

This happens at the end of the song. Not only is the 'na na ... na na she's got the look!' is annoying even once, but they do that line quite a few times at the end. As a matter of fact, to end the song they fade out while this is happening. Ran out of ideas I guess.

"Joyride"

The Repetitive Lyrics:

He says: 'hello you fool I love you.'
C'mon join the joyride,
join the joyride

Why They're Repetitive:

That's basically the entire chorus except in the very last line they change 'c'mon join the joyride' to 'be a joyride.'
