"Old Time Rock & Roll" by Bob Seger
Better Lyrics:
The Salvation Army
Original Lyrics:
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself.
Today's music ain't got the same soul,
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself.
Today's music ain't got the same soul,
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

"Hellfighters" by Sabaton
The Repetitive Lyrics:
Hear the toll of the bell,
Kept fighting for 6 months in hell.
As the war rages on,
They fight at the edge of the Argonne.
Hear the toll of the bell,
Over 6 months in hell,
Out of the trenches they came.
As the war rages on
At the edge of the Argonne,
Hellfighters earning their name.
Kept fighting for 6 months in hell.
As the war rages on,
They fight at the edge of the Argonne.
Hear the toll of the bell,
Over 6 months in hell,
Out of the trenches they came.
As the war rages on
At the edge of the Argonne,
Hellfighters earning their name.
Why They're Repetitive:
The pre-chorus and the actual chorus have almost the same lyrics. You would think they were both the chorus if you hadn't heard the song.

Misrhymed Song Lyrics -> Latest Entries
"Ordinary World" by Duran Duran
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed,
Fear today, forgot tomorrow.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need,
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk.
Fear today, forgot tomorrow.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need,
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk.
Why They're Misrhymed:
It would've rhymed if he'd ended with just the word "sorrow", instead of "sorrowed talk".

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue,
Thought I heard you talking softly.
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio,
Still, I can't escape the ghost of you.

At dawn, envoy arrives,
Morning of October 28th...

Bombers are flying both day and night...
(later) Strike hard, the tables have turned,
Drive them back over the hills...
Morning of October 28th...

"Saboteurs" by Sabaton
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Dropped down to a world of ice,
A plateau of frozen lakes.
A Nazi place of doom in their sights,
Training camps on Scottish Heights
To commando saboteurs,
A mission of their lives lies ahead.
Called in to serve,
And they knew what to do,
They were the heroes of the cold.
Warrior soul, they signed a book of history,
They played a leading role to win the 2nd war.
Allied time was running short,
They would race against the bomb,
And hours turned to days, time passed on.
As the nature test their strength,
They would fight through night and day,
To live amongst the wild, stay alive...
(later) Heroes of the Telemark
Carry Viking blood in veins.
Warriors of the northern land,
They live forever more...
A plateau of frozen lakes.
A Nazi place of doom in their sights,
Training camps on Scottish Heights
To commando saboteurs,
A mission of their lives lies ahead.
Called in to serve,
And they knew what to do,
They were the heroes of the cold.
Warrior soul, they signed a book of history,
They played a leading role to win the 2nd war.
Allied time was running short,
They would race against the bomb,
And hours turned to days, time passed on.
As the nature test their strength,
They would fight through night and day,
To live amongst the wild, stay alive...
(later) Heroes of the Telemark
Carry Viking blood in veins.
Warriors of the northern land,
They live forever more...
Why They're Misrhymed:
Only 1 or 2 lines rhyme in this song.

"Midway" by Sabaton
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Calling all men to deck,
Got to be airborne.
Head out into the sun,
Descending on our foes.
This is the crucial moment
In the heat of the war,
To fly and hit our targets
Down in the waves.
Got to be airborne.
Head out into the sun,
Descending on our foes.
This is the crucial moment
In the heat of the war,
To fly and hit our targets
Down in the waves.

Send them over the waves,
Our sentinels.

This battlefield's been chosen
Tactically in advance.
Time to alert our fighters,
We're soon in range.

They report in the news,
Position of our foes.

"Attero Dominatus" by Sabaton
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Artillery leading our way,
A million grenades has been launched.
The Nazis must pay for their crimes,
The wings of the eagle has been broken...
(later) The price of a war must be payed,
Millions of lives has been lost.
The price must be paid by the men
That started the war in the 30’s.
The spring of the year '45,
The year when the Nazis will fall.
We’re inside the gates of Berlin,
The beak of the eagle is broken.
A million grenades has been launched.
The Nazis must pay for their crimes,
The wings of the eagle has been broken...
(later) The price of a war must be payed,
Millions of lives has been lost.
The price must be paid by the men
That started the war in the 30’s.
The spring of the year '45,
The year when the Nazis will fall.
We’re inside the gates of Berlin,
The beak of the eagle is broken.
Why They're Misrhymed:

Marshall Zhukov’s orders:
Serve me Berlin on a plate!
Disregard the losses,

Serve me it’s head on a plate!
Disregard the losses,
The eagle’s land is ours to take.
Serve me Berlin on a plate!

We stand at the gates of Berlin
With two-and-a-half-million men.
With six-thousand tanks in our ranks,
Use them as battering rams.
