Song Parody Fragments:

"Street of Dreams"
Better Lyrics:
There you stood a distant memory

It was good like we never parted

I recall one day I meant to pee

But I didn't and I only farted
Original Lyrics:
There you stood a distant memory

It was good like we never parted

Said to myself I knew you'd set me free

And here we are right back where we started
Submitted by: Ed Ehren

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:

"Since You Been Gone"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the nighttime comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me
Why They're Misrhymed:
Change the "mean" to "meant", and the words would rhyme. (Though I don't know for sure, I think the original written lyrics may have used the word "meant".)
