Check out the two amIright misheard lyrics books including one book devoted to misheard lyrics of the 1980s.
Music Trivia -> Lighter Side of Serious Bands -> I
Some bands don't wait around for Weird Al to parody one of their songs, and take a pre-emptive strike and write a silly song of their own.
Entries Beginning with I
"I Love My Shirt," Donovan
This song is about clothing that you love even when they become tattered and torn.
Paul Warren
"I'm Coming Out," Diana Ross
This song is about hitting the town yet now LGBT organizations use it as an anthem, just like "We Are the Champions" by Queen. Look at the title words to see why.
Star 80
"I'm In Love With My Car," Queen
This song almost didn't make it onto the album because Brian May just couldn't take it seriously (and it is pretty silly, but it's not like Brian never has any fun- he wrote "Fat Bottomed Girls"- so who is he to judge?).
Amanda
"If I Had $1,000,000," Barenaked Ladies
Granted, BNL isn't the most serious band in the world, but this particular track has a number of lyrics that are rather humorous ("If I had a million dollars, we wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner...but we WOULD eat Kraft Dinner"/"Of course we would! We would just eat more of it!") and they even laugh during one part.
Jonathan S.
"The Intergalatic Laxative," Donovan
Considered to be Donovan's worst song about toliet arrangements for astronauts, from 1973.
KL Fan
"Intermission," Sixx A.M.
All it is, is Nikki Sixx talking about his crappy life with depressing carnival music playing in the background.
Travis
"It Doesn't Really Matter," Platinum Blonde
In the video Mark Holmes shouts out "NO!" But when the song is performed live Mark always seems to shout out "SERGE GALLI" or "GUITAR!"
