Judy Garland combined with Sugarland
Dropping the first two letters of Sugarland will leave Garland, but this would be an impossible combination because Judy Garland died before any of the members of Sugarland were even born.

Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
Misheard Lyrics: Baseball friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more. Original Lyrics: Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Mary Ann Brite I was shopping in a store when this came on the sound system, not all too loudly for me, as I wasn't particularly close to a speaker at the time. These words seemed to resonate in my head as if they sounded just like "Baseball friends...", etc., even though I already knew the real lyrics! |

Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Meet Me In St. Louis"
The Funny Lyrics: We will dance the hoochie coochie

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"San Francisco"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: But the only bridge
That's a real darn bridge Is the bridge across the bay Why They're Inappropriate: Judy is no doubt referring to the Golden Gate Bridge... except that bridge actually crosses the Golden Gate Strait (hence its name). There is a bridge that does cross the San Francisco Bay called, of course, the San Francisco Bay Bridge, but why would Judy be singing its praises?

Onomatopoeia in Lyrics:
"The Trolley Song"
The Lyrics: Clang clang clang went the trolley!
Ding ding ding went the bell! Why: Covered by many other artists, this song evokes the mood of riding an old trolley car at the turn of the century in America.
Submitted by: Agrimorfee
| "Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart"
The Lyrics: Zing went the strings of my heart.
Why: "Zing" represents the sound a stringed instrument (perhaps a harp or violin) when its strings are struck by hand. Although it would be literally impossible for a heart's strings to make that noise. :)

Performers with Handicaps:
"Possible scoliosis"
Though it was never conclusively diagnosed, Garland is believed to have had scoliosis, an abnormal side-to-side curvature of the vertebral chain, or spine, of backbones. This might have contributed to her persistent weight problems and even given her breathing difficulties that gave her voice the ragged quality it had in her last years.
Submitted by: Parker Gabriel
What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Taking Pills"
Even before making it big with MGM, Judy Garland took many pills for energy and sleep. But eventually, she got addicted to the pills and died from overdose in 1969.
