Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Rosalie"
Misheard Lyrics:
My tea queen, Rosalie
Original Lyrics:
The teen queen, Rosalie

Story about this misheard lyric by: Clive

I thought it was 'tea queen', because Rosalie is like a Cockney rhyming slang for 'tea' - 'rosy lea' = tea.

Funny Lyrics:

I always get chocolate stains on my pants.
Why They're Funny:
Is this a euphemism for involuntery defication or just that Phil isn't very good at finding his mouth

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Jailbreak"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
Why They're Nonsensical:
You can imagine a police force somewhere picking up on this and thinking where the jailbreak is going to happen.....the pub? The hospital? The fish n chip shop? Duh!!!!! It might just take place at the local jail.....you don't need to be a rocket scientist to work that one out. And it's not a good idea to boast about having a jailbreak for obvious reasons....
Submitted by: Gripper Stebson
"The Boys Are Back In Town"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
Why They're Nonsensical:
What does that mean, 'we just fell about the place'? If it means that they fell on the floor laughing when Johnny got slapped, then they should just say so instead of concocting their own slang phrase so that it rhymes with 'face'. Man, my head just hurts about the place when I hear this line.
