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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Proof that our species is insane,
This review is from: When a Man Loves a Walnut (Paperback)
Have you ever heard a song where one of the lines just didn't seem to fit? This book chronicles the loony mishearings of various songs, from Frank Sinatra to Tori Amos, that various people have sent in! Real Line: See the thorn twist in your side. Misheard Line: See the phone twist in your side. Real Line: We're never going to survive unless we get a little crazy. Misheard Line: We're never going to survive homelessness, we get a little crazy. This is a riot of a humor book, revealing to me that I am not alone after the many, many... lyrics that I have mangled over the years. For proof that this is done by many, many people....

This review is from: When a Man Loves a Walnut (Paperback)
This book is almost as funny as the original. And the illustrations are so funny they make me cry. I still hear "Those dirty witch clothes even fit me" on the radio all the time.
4.0 out of 5 stars

Proof we need more songs about food.
My favorite book in this series is "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."
