There are times in our lives when we all make mistakes - and many of those times come when we're trying to sing songs along with the radio. Fortunately, the good folks at www.amiright.com have decided to compile the best of these lyrical faux-pas sent in by the site's loyal fans.
For example, J. Lo confused some "Jenny from the Block" listeners with this line: "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got," when they thought she said, "Don't be cruel to the crocs that I bought," "Don't be fooled by the glocks that I got," or "Don't be crude to the rocks Daddy got."
Other music lovers/pervs hear slutty references in Britney and Christina songs, even during the rare times they aren't really there. In "Come on Over Baby" - before Christina's whorish conversion - listeners heard "Oh, I wanna screw," or "Oh, I want a Jew," instead of "All I want is you." In the refrain, instead of the title, the wrong lyrics were "Cum all over, cum all over baby." Sadly, Ms. Aguilera wasn't talking about giving an infant a money shot.
Some fan must of thought Justin had something Britney was looking for when he heard her singing "Baby it's big enough to keep me up all night," instead of "Baby thinking of you keeps me up all night," in "Crazy." But Justin got his revenge in "Cry Me a River," because one fan heard, "Bitch you were confirmed/ Now it's your time to die," instead of "Bridges were burned/ Now it's your turn to cry."
But this isn't the only service the site offers. There are complete song parodies sent in (my current favorite is Shakira's "Underneath Your Clothes" rewritten for the Incredible Hulk), the origins of band names and funny real lyrics. Now, if you'll excuse me while I kiss this guy.
