"Vulnerable"
Misheard Lyrics: She's so vulnerable, vagina in my hands

Story about this misheard lyric by: Michael Vergara I tried to figure out the lyrics just by listening to the song over and over again, and sang it at a singing contest in high school, a Catholic school. All 5 judges (faculty members, including the principal) gasped and everyone broke out into laughter. |

"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)

| "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.

"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.'

"The Centre Of The Heart"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: What am I gonna do when I get a little excited, a little in pain?
Tell me what am I gonna say when I find the centre of my heart is a suburb to the brain? Why They're Nonsensical: First off, you wouldn't sing that line if you didn't already know that the centre of your heart was a suburb to the brain, and thus you would know what you said when you found out. Second of all, what the **** is that supposed to mean anyway? I think Per Gessle is on drugs (can I say that?) or something.

"The Look"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Tasty like a raindrop
AND Heaven's got a number when she's spinning me around AND Shaking like a mad bull Why They're Inappropriate: If these lines are about what I think they're about, I'll give Per Gessle credit for... let's just say being intimate with this woman, but come on! Did he write this song in seventh grade?

"Harleys and Indians (Riders in the Sky)"
The Dated Lyrics: While Marlon's on his way
Why They're Dated: Per Gessle is singing about when he goes to heaven. This song came out in 1994, ten years before Marlon Brando died, so he is no longer on his way to heaven.
