An Ode To The Song Lyrics We Always Get Wrong
NY Daily News

I would pay a lot of money if there was someone in the world that could perfectly decipher every "song lyric" correctly. This week, I asked some friends what their biggest lyric misinterpretations were, and this is what I got...

1. “Cause I’ve been actin’ like someone that fell on the floor, so shove fudge up the refrigerator"

Actually: “'Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor; it's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator”

Song - The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani and Akon

It seems like our girl Gwen needs some annunciation lessons...or maybe rapping just really isn't her forte.

2. "All the lonely Starbucks lovers"

Actually: "Got a long list of ex-lovers"

Song - Blank Space by Taylor Swift

Hey, if I'm going to be lonely, may as well have some good java!

3. "Hold me closer, Tony Danza!"

Actually: "Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer!"

Song - Tiny Dancer by Elton John

Nothing wrong with singing about beloved actors, right?

4. "Ludacris concert cockatoo parrot"

Actually: "A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it"

Song - Sugar, We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy

I don't think even Fall Out Boy ever knows what they're saying...

5. "You can be my green bean and baby I'll rule"

Actually: "You can be my queen bee and baby I'll rule"

Song - Royals by Lorde

It's okay, Lorde, veggies will keep you healthy so you can rule effectively!

6. "Had sweet love but I lost it, she got too close so I farted"

Actually: "Had sweet love but I lost it, she got too close so I fought it"

Song - Knee Deep by Zac Brown Band

Hate when this happens.

7. "Marmalade, we're making out ohhhhh yeeahhhh"

Actually: "Normally we're making out ohhh yeeahhh"

Song - Tongue Tied by Grouplove

Maybe some spreads are better kissers than others.

8. "Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing penguins?"

Actually: "Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements?"

Song - Chasing Pavements by Adele

Hey, penguins are cute. We don't blame you, Adele.

9. "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy"

Actually: "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky"

Song - Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix

In this case, the misinterpreted lyric seems to make way more sense than the actual one!

10. "Concrete jungle, wet dream tomato"

Actually: "Concrete jungle where dreams are made of"

Song - Empire State of Mind by Jay Z and Alicia Keys

Every. Single. Time.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
