It wasn't until I looked up the lyrics that I found out Offspring's Come Out and Play was about schoolyard violence...

When my younger brother was little, he thought the lyrics from Maroon 5's "She will be loved" weren't "I know where you hide, alone in your car", but "I know where you hide, Bologna your car". XD

I used to believe, that when you had to sing a song, it didn't matter if you screwed up the lyrics with something you THINK souned like the words, because if YOU thought it sounded like it, everyone else wouldn't notice 'cause it souned similar.

Oh how wrong i was. I found out that is not true after i sang science i walked away from school,
when it should have been SINCE i walked away from YOU.

How embarrasing (sp?)

Intewwups-choo.

I thought David Archuleta's song Crush said "where this sneaker go" instead of "where this thing can go".
