Wait...that isn't what the lyrics say?

I Must Have Misheard You
Wallpaperus

I am awful with lyrics. Let me rephrase that: I am awful at understanding what people say in songs. If I know lyrics, I will know them until I die. Today I was listening to a song and after looking up the lyrics, realized that they were not what I thought they were. I decided to compile a small sample list of some of my favorite misheard lyrics of mine. Some of these I misheard the artist and some of them were just words I made up to fill space. Either way, they are entertaining. Enjoy!

1. “Say My Name” – Destiny’s Child

Actual Lyric: “Why can’t you just tell the truth.”

My Lyric: “Rocky chews stellar shoes.”

2. “Breakeven (Falling To Pieces)” – The Script

Actual Lyric: “What am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re OK.”

My Lyric: “What am I supposed to say when I’m aunch your dove and you’re okay.”

3. “Breaking Free” – High School Musical

Actual Lyric: “More than you, more than me. Not a want, but a need.”

My Lyric: “More than you, more than me. Not a want, but a be.”

4. “Sit Still, Look Pretty” – Daya

Actual Lyric: “The only thing a boy's gonna give a girl for free is captivity.”

My Lyric: “The only thing a boy's gonna give a girl for free is from Tiffany.”

5. “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” – Shania Twain

Actual Lyric: “Ain’t gonna act politically correct.”

My Lyric: “Ain’t gonna have no little people breakin’.”

6. "Ain’t It Fun” – Paramore

Actual Lyric: “See it's easy to ignore trouble, when you’re living in a bubble.”

My Lyric: “See it's easy to ignore trouble, when you’re living in a pond.”

7. “Classic”—MKTO

Actual Lyric: “I wanna thrill you like Michael.”

My Lyric: “I wanna do you like Michael.”

8. “Love Yourself” – Justin Bieber

11. “Baby It’s Cold Outside” – Any rendition

My Lyric: “I've gotta get home(but baby, you'd freeze out there)/ Say lend me a COMB (it's up to your knees out there)

12. “Naturally” – Selena Gomez

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
