"Ken Lee?" you ask, puzzled. "I've never heard of that one."
We've all heard Carmina Burana's "O Fortuna" at some point or another, but have we sat down and really listened to the lyrics? I never knew the song was so food-oriented. From tuna to cheese, chips, chili, cherries, and berries — it's all in there.
They can be corny and repetitive, but I never get sick of misheard lyrics. If anyone has ideas for a song or video that makes no sense, send 'em to me! I wanna Gnu, have you ever seen Lorraine.
I can make out some of these lyrics, but most of what I caught makes about as much sense as this "translation." My fave? "I wanna be keeping you, worm."

Misheard music lyrics are always a source of good fun— unless, of course, they're vulgar and you're reciting them in front of a TV audience. I don't think this woman's naiveté is going to get her fired, but give it a rest lady—your co-anchor can't explain this to you on air!

We featured a "loose translation" of this popular Bollywood song a while back, but the following is the misheard lyrics version.

Trying to decipher Pearl Jam lyrics is like reading tea leaves: you just kind of have to make sh*t up. I love the "Misheard Lyrics" guy who has done this with almost all of their songs, including Yellow Ledbetter. You gotta wonder, do they even know what they're singing?
From their name, Pearl Jam (?!) to their lyrics, nothin' makes sense. Until now.
