- They named themselves after an alchohol drink that looked like water but had the "secret evil" of alchohol and they though that they were like that. Submitted by: Copper

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:
"I Will Buy You a New Life"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom I will buy you a new car Perfect shiny and new Why They're Misrhymed: I always though it should be "perfect shiny and ZOOM" since that rhymes with "bloom" and "new" doesn't.(plus "new" was already used in the previous line)!
Submitted by: David Shobe
| "The Honeymoon Song"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: We said I do
Then ate some food Why They're Misrhymed: Yeah, the lyrics make sense with the song, but a horrible choice (the song has a lot of them, actually -- but what can you expect? It's Eklund's first song).

Insulting Song Lyrics:
"Santa Monica"
The Insulting Lyrics: We can live beside the ocean,
Leave the fire behind. Swim out past the breaker, And watch the world die. Why They're Insulting: The last line is the insulting part. Apparently the narrator wants himself to drown? That doesn't sound very encouraging. :(

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Father Of Mine"
The Lyrics: I remember blue skies walking the block
Why: Dangling participle! Do blue skies physically walk? No. It should be "I remember seeing blue skies WHILE I WAS walking the block", but that definitely would not fit the meter. This lyric is Bad Grammar and Literally Impossible at the same time.
