On the topic of lyrics...

[AllMakesCombined]

I got bored and a little tipsy, so here's my rendition of a worn out song on the radio.
Works best if you find the song and play it while reading the words...


Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter*

(intro)

Own a zebay. Own a push up letter zed.
And I said. I won on e-bay again.
Want a Sawyer and a piece of leather zed.
Don't want a zed. I won on e-bay again.

On a wheelie and I whiz it all away, yeah.
And a cold and a zed and a mole and a safe and a cola brigade.
In the wes' side. On a lever combat-oh.
I said. I know when I win in a black soda bag!

Aaaayeahhhhhhh.
And a ceiling. Oh, no, no, Porsche.
Eh, I'm gaining weight. My ceiling!
Round 'em my way! And I know, and I know, I don't want a zed.

(made me cry Sad )

(Guitar solo)

nwaaaaaa heeeee.
Water gnome and-a some thin elf.
I'm a comin' and away.
I said I don't ... I don't know where there's a black soda bag!
Aaahh yeahhhh....
Candy's teething... on her boy. Yeah I take him away.
On my ceiling. Brown and my weight, yeah.
And I know, and I know, I don't want a zey.
Oh no. I don't want a stain.
I don't want a staheeeeeEEEEEeeee
I don't was a stay. errrmmrmmrmmmmrrgghgllgll
OoooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooOOOooOooooooo

(Outro)






*Disclaimer: (I do not actually like this song.)

 

[Lallapalalable]

Thats just awesome!

And what do you mean, overplayed? I never hear this song on the radio, and I tune into Philly stations in addition to my local rock. I guess its demographics?

(disclaimer: I do like this song, but maybe because the radio stations I listen to havent killed it for me)

 

[Squagnut]

Yep, I don't know the song so I just dug it up on YT, and I have no idea what the fuck he's trying to say.

That said, it's worth having a look at Know Your Meme, which kinda takes the fun out of this sort of thing. To add to the de-funning process, I'd just like to point out that a song has only one lyric - a song's words are its lyric. A bunch of songs has lyrics. Not that this error has occurred in this thread, yet.

My personal favourite, from the Soromimi [?spelling?] class of misheard lyric videos, is the classic remake of Yatta:

 

[TheFlyingBastard]

I had forgotten about Yatta. Damn you Squagnut. Now I've got that song stuck in my head again.
