Misheard Lyrics

by Gavin Edwards

From the author who brought us "'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Pants" comes another hilarious collection of misunderstood lyrics. Mishearing the words of such classic rock artists as the Beatles and Bruce Springsteen, as well as alternative bands like Nine Inch Nails and Pearl Jam, Gavin Edwards provides an assemblage of more than 250 misconstrued song lyrics. 90 line drawings.

This short book provided a few laughs but I read at the end that it's the third of it's kind; 'Scuse Me, While I Kiss This Guy was the first misheard lyric book the author wrote. Perhaps Edwards should've quit after the first endeavor because some of these "misheard lyrics" seem like a LONG stretch and, quite frankly, weren't even all that funny.

It was okay. I have, many times, mistaken song lyrics and it's humorous to see what others are singing instead of the real lyrics. There were many songs in this book that I didn't even recognize.

3rd time not the charm, the bit has just worn thin

Some of the supposed "misconstrued/misheard" lyrics are silly. I don't understand how someone could hear anything BUT the lyrics in some of these.

Another enjoyable book by the author of He's Got The Whole World in His Pants.

More funny mondegreens. My husband's infamous mondegreen was "A White Sportcoat and a Pink Car Nation." In his defense, this was at the time of Elvis Presley's pink Caddilacs
