Why the Name is Stupid:
The Flys
Ordinarily, I wouldn't care that the name is misspelt. However, when I heard the name on the radio, I assumed it had the normal spelling ("flies"), so when I searched it on Google and NOTHING came up [band-wise, I mean], I naturally got frustrated. I only found out the "correct" spelling by accident while looking at a radio station's playlist! In short, don't make a band name that's going to cause that much confusion. Submitted by: Jonathan S.

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Boom Boom Pow (Clean Version)" by Black Eyed Peas
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Here we go, here we go (bleep) radio
Y'all getting hit with the boom, boom!
Y'all getting hit with the boom, boom!
Why They're Nonsensical:
If you haven't heard the explicit version (or even haven't heard the song at all), I bet you'll never guess what the bleeped word is in the clean version. It is 'satellite'. Now why censor the word 'satellite' when it isn't a swear word?

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Rock n' Roll Singer" by AC/DC
