Sabaton's, "Father"
The Lyrics:
And on the battlefield they're dying,
And on the fields, the crops are grown.
Why:
I think only the second sentence should've started with "and".
Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Inmate 4859"
The Lyrics:
Join the uprising, fight on the streets while hiding his rank.
Why:
It says, "join" instead of "joins" and "fight" instead of "fights", but strangely the next line correctly says "takes".

Sabaton's, "Inmate 4859"
The Lyrics:
The dawn of century.
Why:
The "a" is missing: The dawn of *a* century.

Andy Williams', "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"
The Lyrics:
It's the hap-happiest season of all.
Why:
I think singing "happiest" for longer sounds better, rather than squeezing in the "hap" bit of "happiest".

Jason Derulo's, "Want to Want Me"
The Lyrics:
There's nothing I, no, I wouldn't do
Why:
The pronoun "I" is repeated and the word "no" is inserted between "There's nothing I" and "I wouldn't do". No is not a verb.

Sabaton's, "Resist and Bite"
The Lyrics:
Honored were our orders in despite of our foe.
Why:
It should be "In SPITE of", but that doesn't match the rhythm.
Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "The Price of a Mile"
The Lyrics:
Know that many men has suffered
Know that many men has died.
Why:
It's supposed to be "have", not "has".
Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "White Death"
The Lyrics:
Painting thousand lakes red.
Why:
He says, "thousand" instead of "a thousand".
Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Great War"
The Lyrics:
Where dead men lies, I'm paralyzed, my brother's eyes are gone.
Why:
It should be "lie" instead of "lies", but "lie" and "paralyzed" don't rhyme.
Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Devil Dogs"
The Lyrics:
[I]nspire the lost into glorious deeds
That would give them a name that live on to this day.
Why:
It's meant to be, "*lives* on", not "live on".
