Story about this misheard lyric by: Stephanie Dawson This is what I thought the lyrics were when I first heard this masterpiece on my radio. I immediately called the station and asked the dj who performs the song that goes, 'Your skin is like a tire.' It took him a while to figure out what I was talking about. Oops!! Now my friends and I alwasy sing it wrong, even in concert! |
Misrhymed Song Lyrics:
"Crank"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Call me crank, my idea.
Crank, so severe. Crank, my conscience clear. Why They're Misrhymed: An excellent song, but idea doesn't rhyme with severe or clear. (Unless you're from Brooklyn.)
