Misheard Lyrics: She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion Got run over by a prophet from Hohzion Original Lyrics: She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion Got run over by a crappy purple Scion |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Shari K.W. I heard that line a million times & NEVER knew what he was saying! I knew what I heard didn't make sense; why would a prophet be driving & hitting people? And there's no such place as Hohzion (it sounds like a cross between Hosannah and Zion, LOL!) But honestly, my misheard line is the only thing that sounded remotely plausible. Why can't singers enunciate their words better? |

Song Parody Fragments:
"Hey, Soul Sister"
Better Lyrics:
The way you catch cholera
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangsta, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself behind a tree
In fact there's nothing I can see
I want the world to see you be with cheese
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangsta, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself behind a tree
In fact there's nothing I can see
I want the world to see you be with cheese
Original Lyrics:
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Better Lyrics:
Hey toe blister
Ain't that Mr. Mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move can scare a gnome
Ain't that Mr. Mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move can scare a gnome
Original Lyrics:
Hey soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Ain't that Mr. Mister

Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Meet Virginia"
The Funny Lyrics: Wears high heels when she exercises,
ain't that beautiful? Why They're Funny: The first time I heard this line, I got mental pictures of an 80's woman with those freakishly large slouch socks, skin tight leggings, and pumps... getting all 'aerobicized' and trust me that's more hilarious than beautiful.
Submitted by: Jay J.
| "All American Girl"
The Funny Lyrics: My dad used to tell me I was lazy
You know I got moves like Patrick Swayze Why They're Funny: It seems that Pat Monahan desperately needed a rhyme.

Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Calling All Angels"
The Repetitive Lyrics: I won't give up if you don't give up
I won't give up if you don't give up I won't give up if you don't give up I won't give up if you don't give up Why They're Repetitive: Sounds like they ran out of lyrics and had to release the song before they could think of new ones. Otherwise a pretty good song, but this part really sounds stupid.
Submitted by: UrbanPeaceArtist
| "Calling All Angels"
The Repetitive Lyrics: And I won’t give up if you don’t give up
I won’t give up if you don’t give up I won’t give up if you don’t give up I won’t give up if you don’t give up... Why They're Repetitive: Why four times? This does not enhance the song at all!

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Save Me San Francisco"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I used to love the tenderloin until I made some tender coin.
Why They're Nonsensical: Why would coins make you give up tenderloin?
Submitted by: Paul Bunions
| "Meet Virginia"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Well she wants to be the queen
and she thinks about her scene. Pulls her hair back as she screams I don't really want to be the queen. Why They're Nonsensical: Come on Train, which is it? You can't have it both ways. Either Virginia wants to be the queen or she doesn't.

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:
"Meet Virginia"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Well she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life Pulls her hair back as she screams I don't really wanna live this life Why They're Misrhymed: We know life rhymes with itself but how lazy can you get when writing a song? Here's proof.
Submitted by: Alec
| "Drops of Jupiter"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey She acts like summer and walks like rain Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey Why They're Misrhymed: This is simply blatant idiocy. Don't get me wrong, the song thereafter is alright (not perfect, but nothing to point a finger at), but come on; the first two rhymes of the song and they're way off from even a remotely flowing sound! I wonder if it sounded good to them?

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"Save The Day"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Street smart like a Courtney Love,
Can't get enough Hollywood stories of, Anybody famous that can make her feel like they're all kinda friends in a way Why They're Inappropriate: I'm absolutely mad for this song and I love this band, but I wish Train didn't try to be cool by making references to celebrities in their songs since It'll be outdated in a couple of years. That's a shame considering Train's best music has a kind of 'timeless' classic rock sound.
Submitted by: FuNkY mOnKeY
| "Drops Of Jupiter"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong Why They're Inappropriate: Where is her best friend mentioned anywhere else in the song? And when do you equate love and pride with deep-fried chicken?
