Four Catholic mothers are discussing how important their children are.

The second Catholic mother chirps "Well, my son is a Bishop, whenever he walks into a room people say 'Your Grace'."
The third mother says smugly "Well, not to put you down but my son is a Cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say 'Your Emincence'."
The fourth Catholic mother sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her this subtle 'Well... ?'

Band Name Origins:

  • It is true that the band is named after Jon, but he never changed his name (officially) to "Bon Jovi". Submitted by: Hannah
  • Jon's last name is Bongiovi. So they mixed it up a little and became "Bon Jovi" and personally i have always wondered if this has caused any onimosity within the band. Evidently not, they've been together 20 years or whatever. But they rock! Submitted by: Sydney

Performer Pseudonyms:

Also known as: John Francis Bongiovi Jr. . Submitted by: Bill Tong

Because he says, "There's no price I won't pay to say these words to you.." you'd think he would sing more words but instead there is an intense guitar solo.. maybe the guitar is speaking those words.. I think it is funny :)

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"I'll Be There For You"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I guess this time you're really leaving,
I heard your suitcase say goodbye.
Why They're Nonsensical:
This makes no sense because suitcases can't talk and anyway, who is the suitcase saying goodbye to, Jon or his girl?
Submitted by: Chandra
"If I Was Your Mother"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Tell me there's no other
To who you're telling your secrets
And would you tell me
'Bout all the boys you been
Bringing home to meet me
Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours Mother, mother
If I was your Mother, mother
Why They're Nonsensical:
First, Jon, girls don't discuss their intimate relationships with their mother (most don't anyway) and second 'If I was your mother!?!?!?' I'm sorry but that's so weird that I don't even want to think of that option! Besides isn't this streching the Mother-Myth a bit too far, I mean mothers and fathers can be equally close to a child... Way to go Jon!

I want to taste the sweat
That's rolling off your body

I can everybody can figure that out... they're pretty explicit!
Submitted by: JoviChick
