| My friend Joe can listen to most any song standing up and rarely be the least bit fazed by any. But whenever he hears Dolly Parton sing "Jolene," he's never still standing by the end of the song. Submitted by: Richard Wetfuss

Misheard Lyrics: Eatin' grits and gravy and country ham, Go to church on Sunday, with dinner on at Gram's
Original Lyrics: Eatin' grits and gravy and country ham, Go to church on Sunday, with dinner on the ground

Story about this misheard lyric by: Dawn I'm a Catholic from New York, and had never heard of "dinner on the ground" after church. For over 30 years, I thought she was talking about going on to her Grandma's for Sunday dinner after church. And "Gram's" does rhyme with "ham". |

"9 to 5"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: They just use your mind, and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it The next verse in the song... They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder Why They're Misrhymed: *credit* and *let it* don't rhyme; neither does *shatter* and *ladder* (nonetheless it still makes sense lyrically, and was a huge hit for Dolly in early 1981).

| "I'll Make Your Bed"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: I'm not the kind of girl that married dear dad
I don't make apple pies and cookies from scratch Later in the song... I promised forever on the day that we met That I'll love you truly and I'll make your bed. Why They're Misrhymed: I don't know why Dolly thinks that 'Dad' rhymes with 'scratch," because they just simply DON'T. 'Met' and 'bed' is perhaps understandable, but still pushing it.

"Me and Little Andy "
The Inappropriate Lyrics: If you don't love, us no one will
Why They're Inappropriate: She's talking about a little girl being neglected by her dad. Earlier in the song she says "my mummy ran away again" and later she says "my daddy's drunk again in town" insinuating that he's an alcoholic and possibly abusive towards her and her mum when she's there.

| "Love Is Like A Butterfly"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies.
Why They're Inappropriate: Before writing this generally delightful song, Dolly Parton would have done well to observe whether she ever actually saw daffodils and butterflies together or not. Chances are she seldom if ever would have seen such an association. To begin with daffodils are late winter to early spring blooming flowers. Than means, at any give location, they bloom at a time of year earlier than when butterflies start appearing there in substantial numbers. Furthermore, even if butterflies were to find daffodils in bloom, they are hardly among the flowers they'd seek out for nectar (which is why butterflies visit flowers). You can find numerous references to what plants are good for growing in 'butterfliy gardens' to attract butterflies. You won't see daffodils listed among them. That is not only because of daffodils' blooming times. It is because flowers best suited for butterfly nectaring, at whatever season they might find them, are flowers that occur in clusters of numerous small flowers (that includes Composite family 'flowers' such as dandelions, goldenrod, etc., which are clusters, not single flowers). Daffodils would be further unsuitable because of their corona, the cup-like structure on top of the petals, a structure few flowers have. Such a corona's rim would be a particularly unsuitable place for a butterfly to try to perch and seek nectar.
