"Happy Together"
Misheard Lyrics: I can't see me lovin' somebody
But you were on my mind. Original Lyrics: I can't see me lovin' nobody
But you for all my life. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Dj Milek After bursting into song with a group of fellow travelers (fortunately not heard above them), I thought this song would be better if it were more positive. So I looked up the lyrics. How many decades later to discover what a lovely declaration of love it is (rather than love the one you're with)??? |

Funny Lyrics:
"'Happy Together'"
The Funny Lyrics: No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be.
Why They're Funny: The term 'No matter how they toss the dice' is an old saying. It means the same as 'Let the chips fall where they may'. It's funny because people think it's another funny lyric by Kaylan and Volman, but all they were doing this time is quoting an old saying about letting fate take its course.

Why They're Funny: What does that have to do with if you're happy together or not? Did they run out of rhyming words or something?
