12 Misheard Lyrics

If you are anything like me, you will hear a song over and over again and still won't get the lyrics right. There are those over achievers who will go and look up the lyrics if they aren't certain if they are getting them correct, or there are the people like me, who know they aren't saying the right words, but just go with it anyways. Here are a few of my worst interpretations.

1. "Lean On" by Major Lazer and Dj Snake

"Marcus, fire a gun. We need someone to lean on. Marcus, fire a gun. All we need is somebody to lean on"

2. "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi

"We've gotta hold on to what we've got. It doesn't make a difference if we are naked or not. We've got each other and that's a lot. For love we'll give it a shot."

3. "Cheap Thrills" by Sia

" Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight. I love cheap pills! Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight. I love cheap pills! I don't need no money."

4. "Dancing Queen" by ABBA

"You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tangerine."

5. "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys

"Barbara Ann, you ate my ham Barbara Ann You got me rockin' and a-rollin' Rockin' and a-reelin' Barbara Ann ba ba Ba Barbara Ann."

6. "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift

"You can tell me when it's over if the high was worth the pain. Got a long list of starbucks lovers. They'll tell you I'm insane."

7. "Move" by Little Mix

"I gotta fever for you. I just can't explain. But there's just one problem
at my middle school. When it comes to lovin' I ain't chasing you"

8. "Black Widow" by Iggy Azalea

"You should've known better than to mess with me, honey I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya Gonna love ya, gonna love ya Like a black little baby."

9. "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran

"So, honey, now Take me into your lemon arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud"

10. "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees

"Ah, ha, ha, ha, stay in a line, stay in a line Ah, ha, ha, ha, stay in a line"

11. "Love You Like a Love Song" by Selena Gomez

"I, I love you like a love song, baby and I keep hearing that beep beep beep beep beep."

12. "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen

"And another one gone and another one gone. Another one bites the crust hey"

One may wonder, how do you mess up the lyrics that bad even though the title of the song makes up some of the lyrics? Well, I could not tell you. My brain hears what it wants to hear and I make no apologies for that. I'll just keep singing my heart out and continue to sing the wrong lyrics.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
