Story about this misheard lyric by: Kev

When all you have to listen to in the 1970's (or whenever this song came out) was the radio, you're dependent on the DJ playing it & you hearing it. Since R&B is not my first choice in musical genre, I only heard this occasionally. Only the chorus was memorable (blame the producer) and I misheard even that.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"My Funny Valentine"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

My funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.

Why They're Nonsensical:

One smiles with one's face, not with one's heart. Smiling, in fact, is a form of non-verbal communication. So even if one's heart COULD smile, with whom or what would it be communicating inside one's body? One's lungs, maybe?
