The New Christy Minstrels combined with Tony Christie

Tony Hawk

Tony Christie combined with Hawk Nelson

Hawk Nelson did take the "Hawk" from the man many believe is the best skateboarder ever, so why not? Also there are probably many people named "Christie Nelson" so this is the best "Tony" for the job, so if Hawk has a problem, they can use the second words as a new name.

Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"The Way To Amarillo"

Misheard Lyrics:

Sweet Maria waits for me.

Original Lyrics:

Sweet Marie, she waits for me.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Dan Fletcher

My wife's name is Maria, and I first played this song for her, and told her they were talking about her. She quickly corrected me, and asked me who I had her confused with. I slept on the couch that night.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Amarillo"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

There's a church bell ringing
Hear the song of joy that it's singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy who's coming to see her

Why They're Nonsensical:

In the chorus, her name is Marie, not Maria! And also, how can a church bell sing?

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:

"Avenues & Alleyways" The Misrhymed Lyrics: Sleep like a baby! My little lady! Why They're Misrhymed: Baby and lady sort of rhyme, but they don't! Submitted by: K.Y.L.E	"Amarillo" The Misrhymed Lyrics: When the day is dawning On a Texas Sunday morning! Why They're Misrhymed: Dawning, morning! They just don't rhyme! They can't possibly rhyme! He is forcing them to rhyme, isn't that pretty stretching the rhyming! (So-called rhyming, as it just doesn't rhyme!) Though it's a great song - but he was lazy with rhyming! Submitted by: Tarquin
