from the nonsense lyrics section
“Roxette’s, “The Centre Of The Heart”
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
What am I gonna do when I get a little excited, a little in pain?
Tell me what am I gonna say when I find the centre of my heart
is a suburb to the brain?
Why They’re Nonsensical:
First off, you wouldn’t sing that line if you didn’t already know that the centre of your heart was a suburb to the brain, and thus you would know what you said when you found out. Second of all, what the frick is that supposed to mean anyway? I think Per Gessle is on drugs (can I say that?) or something.

Jefferson:
I remember when we both threw up
–>I remember when we both grew up
And there are lots more, for instance Breathe. Sometimes they pronounce the words quite oddly.

@zeeshan:
I don’t think the misheard IMHBL song is really a misheard lyric but more of a joke. I do believe that some misheard lyric posted in amiright.com are meant to be a joke while (of course) some are real.

No worries =)
@everyone:
Did some of you contributed to the amiright.com site??? The last time I’ve been to that site there was about 4 or 5 misheard songs.
Now when I went there again there are lots!!!

Since all Roxette albums have lyrics booklet in them. I was just wondering how many of you guys and gals misheard a Roxette song the first time you’ve heard it (before you actually get to read the lyrics), and which songs (and words) were they?
The reason I’m asking this is because I’ve come across a funny site while doing my nightly routine of net-surfing.
The page contains a series of “incorrect/misheard lyrics” and its corresponding “correct lyrics”
I thought the misheard lyrics of DFS and IMHBL (drunk/sober one) was funny. Although I have to point out that some lyrics that is suppose to be correct turned out to be “still” incorrect.
In the page you will find the following:
—–START-QUOTE—–
Misheard Lyrics:
You’ve gotta get dressed for some sex
Correct Lyrics:
You’ve gotta get dressed for success
——END-QUOTE——
But even the correct lyrics is wrong, isn’t it suppose to be “I’m gonna get dressed for success” ???
Anyway, the following is the link, check if for yourself. I found some misheard lyrics really funny.
