Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"In a Darkened Room"

Misheard Lyrics:

That beats the scar of skin so deep

Original Lyrics:

That beats the scar of sin so deep

Story about this misheard lyric by: Cody Finke

This kind of makes sense, since scars do appear on skin. Also, the Stranglers had a song called “Skin Deep”, so it made sense here.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"Youth Gone Wild"

The Lyrics:

They call us "problem child"

Why:

I know, they were wanting to rhyme with the title, but that doesn't make it right. The correct way to to say it would have been "They call us problem CHILDREN" (plural).
