Put your sweet lips a little closer to the floor.

Original Lyrics:

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Patti Drennan

I was about 9 and would sing along to the radio with the incorrect lyrics. I learned from my mother the accurate lyrics!

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Billy Bayou"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

Billy was a boy kinda big for his size.

Why They're Nonsensical:

I suppose the nonsense here is intentional, aimed at being whimsical. But "big for his size" makes no sense. Whatever his size is, it is just that. One can be neither big nor little for one's size. A similar (and I suppose intentionally) nonsensical phrase that I've heard is "young for his age".

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Blue Skies"

The Inappropriate Lyrics:

Nothing but blue skies from now on

Why They're Inappropriate:

Surely the song should have been called Grey skies.Blue skies,on the other hand,are supposed to cheer you up.I'm well aware that the word Blue,as used here,may be referring to blue in the context of unhappiness,but even so,if your girlfriend dumps you it's far more appropriate to say you've got nothing but GREY skies from now on.Blue feelings and blue skies just dont sit well together.

Dated Lyrics:

"'Little Old Dime'"

The Dated Lyrics:

'I can't call anymore, you're my last dime',

Why They're Dated:

The cheapest pay phone I've seen in the last five years has been 35c. [I cringe to think what songwriters will do when payphones hit $1 per call; after all, how many things rhyme with 'buck' that you can sing in mixed company?]
