Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Cannibal Song" | Neither the word "cannibal" nor the word "song" ever occurs in the lyrics (not that the latter would much be expected to occur). The most repeated line is "Thrown into a cell". Song seems to be more about torture than about cannibalism. - Holly Stefan |

Story about this misheard lyric by: Daniel I honestly thought these were the actual lyrics. Of course, such a depiction of barnyard perversions doesn't fit with the mostly environmental message of the song. It still sounds like "lamb" to me, and now whenever I head the line, I can't help but crack up! No sheep were harmed in the posting of these misheard lyrics. |

Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Jesus Built My Hod Rod"
The Funny Lyrics: And the only thing for me to do
Was to randandang my diggydangdingdong Why They're Funny: This is from the spoken intro to the song. Gibby Haynes makes it sound like a really serious statement of intent.

Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"N.W.O."
The Repetitive Lyrics: A new world order
A new world order Why They're Repetitive: The fact that they sampled this off a George H.W. Bush soundbyte makes this that much more annoying.
Submitted by: newrock

Made Up Words in Songs:
"Jesus Built My Hotrod"
The Made Up Words: Ding, dang, ling, ticky, donga, danga
Comments: Just some of the words Gibby Haynes uses in singing this with Ministry. Maybe that's why his current band is called Gibby Haynes and His Problem.
