Queen's, "'39"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
For many a lonely day
sailed across the milky seas
sailed across the milky seas
Why They're Misrhymed:
"Day" does not rhyme with "seas". Actually this is an easter egg: the song is about space travel on relativistic speeds and time dilation (remember Brian May is an astronomer and knows his stuff!). When you change the "seas" into something which rhymes with "day" - "way" - WHAM! You get it! Milky Way is the galaxy, and now the lyrics make sense.

Queen's, "'39"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
In the year of '39, assembled here the Volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
Why They're Misrhymed:
'Seen' doesn't rhyme with 'few'. To me, the lyric should have been 'the sweetest sight ever *viewed*'; this would have been a much closer rhyme while leaving the meaning intact.

Queen's, "Bohemian Rhapsody"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Mama, just killed a man.
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life has just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life has just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Why They're Misrhymed:
"Head" and "dead" are the only rhyming lines.

Queen's, "Bohemian Rhapsody"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Too late,
My time has come.
Send shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye everybody,
I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh.
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
My time has come.
Send shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye everybody,
I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh.
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
Why They're Misrhymed:
A lot of people would say "spine" and "time" are non-rhyming words. The rest of this section definitely doesn't rhyme.

Queen's, "Love of My Life"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Love of my life, you've hurt me,
You've broken my heart, and now you leave me.
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me.
Because you don't know,
What it means to me.
Love of my life, don't leave me,
You've taken my love, and now desert me...
(later) Back, hurry back,
Please, bring it back home to me.
Because you don't know
What it means to me.
You've broken my heart, and now you leave me.
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me.
Because you don't know,
What it means to me.
Love of my life, don't leave me,
You've taken my love, and now desert me...
(later) Back, hurry back,
Please, bring it back home to me.
Because you don't know
What it means to me.
Why They're Misrhymed:
Almost every line ends with the word, "me". "Back" doesn't rhyme with "me".

Queen's, "Love of My Life"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
You will remember
When this is blown over,
And everything's all by the way.
When I grow older,
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you,
I still love you.
When this is blown over,
And everything's all by the way.
When I grow older,
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you,
I still love you.
Why They're Misrhymed:
Not only do "over" and "way" not rhyme, but he also says "you" 3 times.

Queen's, "The Show Must Go On"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Empty spaces,
What are we living for?
Abandoned places,
I guess we know the score.
On and on,
Does anybody know what we are looking for?...
(a few lines later) Hold the line,
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
What are we living for?
Abandoned places,
I guess we know the score.
On and on,
Does anybody know what we are looking for?...
(a few lines later) Hold the line,
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
Why They're Misrhymed:
"On" and "for" don't rhyme. "Line" and "anymore" also don't.
