Story about this misheard lyric by: Cody Finke

I thought it had to do with the Lone Star State!

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"I Gotcha"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

Now, kiss me, hold it a long time, now hold it
Don't turn it a-loose, now hold it
A little bit longer, now hold it, come on
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
Now ease up on me now, hey

Why They're Nonsensical:

Okay, if you're kissing and holding it a long time, then...who's doing the singing?

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"Ain't Gonna Bump No More"

The Lyrics:

She wanted to get on down, still wanna get on down
I told her to go on and leave me alone
I ain't gettin' down
You done hurt my hip once

Why:

Pretty obvious; you can see that even the title is lazily worded (by today's standards the song may offend some people due to the reference to an unnamed overweight person that is mentioned in the lyrics). Despite the somewhat bad grammar, overall it's not a bad song for its time.
