Misheard Lyrics:
Ed O'Neil put it down
Original Lyrics:
Yeah old Neil put it down
Story about this misheard lyric by: Scandia: Back when I first heard the song in the early 90s, "Married with Children" was very popular. And Ed O'Neil played Al Bundy. So I honestly thought the band was talking about this actor dissing the state of Alabama. It was not till I read the lyrics that I realized it was Neil Young who put it down, NOT Ed O'Neil!

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Hold On" by Good Charlotte
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead, what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead, what are you waiting for?
Why They're Nonsensical:
This is supposed to be an anti-suicide song right? So why is he saying Go ahead.....What are you waiting for? That sounds like they want you to go ahead and forget what the rest of the song is saying.

"Slept So Long" by Jay Gordon
The Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Blinded By The Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And little Early Purly came by in his curly wurly and asked me if I needed a ride.
Why They're Nonsensical:
These are the actual lyrics and also how you spell "Early Purly" and "curly wurly". Of all the nonsensical lyrics in this song, written by Bruce Springsteen but made more absurd by Manfred, this takes the cake. It's not that "Early Purly" or "curly wurly" aren't actually real things, because they are ("Early Purly" is a white flower grown in many gardens -- it's where "Purly" whites with teeth came from and "Curly Wurly" is a type of candy bar still in existence sold by Marathon candy company in many parts of the world, although "Curly Wurly" candy bars aren't as popular as they were in the 1970's when this song was written and first popularized), no that isn't the problem. The problem and the nonsense for this song and line is: How would a flower ride a candy bar and ask anyone for a ride (unless it was a metaphysical reference out of The Boss in regards to in his adolescence eating candy bars to get a sugar rush and then ending up having acne?)

"Dead" by They Might Be Giants
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I returned a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself
Why They're Nonsensical:
Why would you return groceries *before* the expiration date? I mean, aren't all of the groceries on the shelf supposed to be there before their expiration date? If not, then I think there'd be cause for concern. As for the last three lines (about coming back AS a bag of croceries, and stamping a date on yourself), I can't figure those out.
