Lyric Police

My husband is an official member of the Lyric Police.  I am constantly getting lyric fines. Nick doesn't understand how it is possible that I can get the lyrics to songs so wrong.

Maybe it's cause I don't sit on the internet and find out what the real lyrics are. Anyway I happen to think that sometimes my lyrics are way better than the original...or at least funnier.

What are your best and worst incorrect lyrics. Here are some of my classics.

ACDC - Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap

Mel Lyrics - Dirty deeds, Thunder Sheep

Yeah so I thought this song was about doing bad things to sheep, cue aussies taking the piss out of me as a kiwi.


Ini Kamoze - Here Comes the Hotstepper

Mel Lyrics - Here comes the hotstepper, I'm the leprechaun gangsta

Picture it, whats cooler than a mini ginger gangsta


Skrillex - Bangarang

Mel Lyrics - Laser Rays (instead of Bangarang)

Yes I did know the song is called Bangarang, but I thought those lyrics were right and that's why there were so many shooting laser gun sound effects.  I would even pull out my air guns and shoot my laser rays around the room.



And it's not just me, recently on Triple J a guy called in saying he thought the lyrics to the new Calvin Harris song, Sweet Nothing was: "You're giving me sexy gherkin" I definitely prefer this version when I play the song.


What are your favourite wrong song lyrics? Tell me you have some are you're not a member of the Lyric Police...

  1. "Glycerine" by Bush = "Kiss of Rain" I don't think that one is even cooler than the original! Shame.
