"Unchained Melody"
Misheard Lyrics: A long, lonely time
Original Lyrics: Alone, lonely time
|
Story about this misheard lyric by: Daniel Johnson Frequently misheard (probably as part of some confirmation bias) as "a long, lonely time", which were likely the original lyrics, but were altered by The Righteous Brothers in their recording "Alone, lonely time", decidedly the evolution, offers new meaning as a more emphatic intro (as in "she is the only one that he's ever hungered for, and yet hungers for") as opposed to a simple description of "a long time". It also initiates an extended metaphor on the agonisingly tepid progress of "lonely time" which mightily culminates in its power ("Time can do so much"). |

"You've Lost that Loving Feeling"
Better Lyrics:
You never make me fries anymore
When I ask for chips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your sirloin tips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby I know it
You've lost that home-cooked feeling
You've lost that home-cooked feeling
Baby baby I get down on my knees for stew
If you would only make it like you used to do
When I ask for chips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your sirloin tips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby I know it
You've lost that home-cooked feeling
You've lost that home-cooked feeling
Baby baby I get down on my knees for stew
If you would only make it like you used to do
Original Lyrics:
You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby I know it
You've lost that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Baby baby I get down on my knees for you< BR> If you would only love me like you used to do
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby I know it
You've lost that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Baby baby I get down on my knees for you< BR> If you would only love me like you used to do

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
Why They're Inappropriate: How does the singer know his girlfriend's eyes are open when they kiss unless his are as well? A bit hypocritical I'd say. Can't you just see these two clowns pretending to kiss romantically whilst staring at each other eyeball to eyeball?
