Story about this misheard lyric by: Bart

During college I was mumbling these misheard lyrics in the kitchen when my roommate Andre overheard me. He asked me to repeat what I had just sung and immediately collapsed in laughter. That was over ten years ago and that f***er hasn't let me live it down yet. In my defense, I didn't have the album or the song sheet, just a crummy little Maxell 90 minute tape.

Repetitive Lyrics:

"She Blinded Me With Science"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
She blinded me with science
Why They're Repetitive:
It's sung by Dolby, then is said by an elderly scientist. It's just lame.
Submitted by: newave
"Windpower"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
Wer'e a continent, a continent, a continent,a continent,a-.
Why They're Repetitive:
I love Thomas Dolby's songs, but this line is sorta repetitive in this song, and he says it about 12x times and this is more repetitive than the 5x he said 'She Blinded Me With Science'.
