Best of Singers with Bad Hearing   (0)  [vote for, against]
A collection of songs sung by people who heard the lyrics completely the wrong way.

"Kick the world in a loving place. Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space."

"I can see clearly now my brain is gone, I can see all orchestras in my day."

"I can see Cleveland now, Lorraine is gone..."

"Let me introduce you...to Sergeant Pepper's Foamy Harps Club Band."

Etc.

Some good parodies, too [ghillie, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

"Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with colitis goes by."
-- Klaatu, Apr 03 2004


I've read this one before here.
The idea is edging dangerously close to list-ville.

There are tons of sites about this kind of thing.

Yes, but is there a CD yet?
-- Eugene, Apr 03 2004


No, 'cause it's stupid.

I'd have great fun at one of these, although I never would learn the *real* words, (or sing them again).

waugs, reconsider that aside from parodies, misheard lyrics haven't been done as an audio release. I mean, just because this concept is "stupid" doesn't necessarily mean most lyric/song/album/concepts are "smart." For example, If the attempt is earnest to duplicate what has been "heard" - not contrived/faked/precious, (think karaoke done from misheard memory) to the point that the misheard lyrics are indistinguishable from the real thing, then there's the possibility that *listeners* may mishear misheard lyrics and think they're hearing the original, "correct" lyrics. Full circle.
