Song Parody Fragments:
"Street of Dreams"
Better Lyrics:
There you stood a distant memory
It was good like we never parted
I recall one day I meant to pee
But I didn't and I only farted
It was good like we never parted
I recall one day I meant to pee
But I didn't and I only farted
Original Lyrics:
There you stood a distant memory
It was good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started
It was good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:
"Since You Been Gone"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: I get the same old dreams, same time every night,
Fall to the ground and I wake up. So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head, Thoughts fly back to the break-up. These four walls are closing in, Look at the fix you've put me in. Since you been gone, since you been gone, I'm out of my head, can't take it. Could I be wrong, but since you been gone, You cast the spell, so break it. So in the night, I stand beneath the back-street light, I read the words that you sent to me. I can take the afternoon, the night-time comes around too soon, You can't know what you mean to me. Why They're Misrhymed: The whole song rhymes the same words with themselves. The exception is Pre-Chorus 2.

The Misrhymed Lyrics: So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the nighttime comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Why They're Misrhymed: Change the "mean" to "meant", and the words would rhyme. (Though I don't know for sure, I think the original written lyrics may have used the word "meant".)
