Misheard Lyrics Story:
|
"More than words"
Misheard Lyrics: Not desepa
Original Lyrics: Not to say but

Story about this misheard lyric by: Christine I felt incredibly mortified, after I taught my friend the lyrics to 'More than Words'. We loved harmonizing songs and since we didn't have the cd, I decided to write down all the words by listening to the tape over and over again. I got stuck, I admit, on this particular verse.. we laughed hours on end because I, had convinced her 'not to say but' was some special word in latin.. 'desepa'.. is there even such a word?! |

Dirty Lyrics:
"More Than Words"
The Dirty Lyrics: ...how easy, it would be to show me how you feel
more than words is all you have to do to make it real then you wouldn't have to say that you love me coz I already know. Why They're Dirty: The whole song is about a guy (or a girl, I'm not going to be sexist) trying to pressurize his/her sweetheart into having sex. Listen to the words very carefully and you'll get it.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"More Than Words"
The Lyrics: Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you.
Its not that I want you not to say.... More than words is all you have to do to make it real.... Why: This song is a grammatical nightmare, with awful sentence structure; these are just some of the lyrics to show it. Gerund-verb agreement, subject-verb agreement, phrasing, and missing pronouns in this song are all atrocious! What were they thinking when they wrote this? Elementary students compose better sentences than this band can!

"Pornograffiti"
Extreme's most successful album originally had a "Parental Advisory" sticker on the cover until "More Than Words" became a hit. Then it was removed from future printings. Actually, the only thing obscene about the album was its title.
