The lyrics in the clip are as follows:
A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain’t no hollaback girl
I ain’t no hollaback girl
So, you’re thinking to yourself, how the hell can you mess this one up? Well I didn’t. After admitting my lyrics of fail, a few of my friends decided to fess up to some of theirs. Here’s what one of my friends thought Gwen was saying:
A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain’t no Harlem black girl
I ain’t no Harlem black girl
Brings an entirely new meaning to the song. Needless to say, whenever I hear that song now I hear “ain’t no Harlem black girl.”

The lyrics in the clip are as follows:
Finally it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feelin’s can’t describe it
Innocent enough and, one would think, also easy to understand; unless you’re me. Here’s what I thought she was saying: (feel free to play the part back go get the whole humiliating effect)
Finally it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
Mafi Lens can’t describe it
I know what you’re thinking, you thought it was Mafi Lens too. So I won’t make fun of you, but what in the hell is a Mafi Lens. And you should of heard me belt this jam OUT. I was all over the Mafi Lens. Had no clue what it was, but sure was loud as could be.

The lyrics for the clip are as follows:
Don’t believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
Innocent enough and, one would think, also easy to understand; unless you’re me. Here’s what I thought he was saying:
Don’t believe everything that you breathe
You get a HOCKEY violation and a maggot on your sleeve
Awesome, right?
Imagine me singing that out loud. What in the hell is a hockey violation? Hockey penalty sure, but violation? I can even remember thinking, while singing the lyric, what the hell is he talking about? I even slipped some times and would say pockey violation , which is arguably even worse.

Vanilla Ice – Ice Ice Baby
on February 7, 2009 in Lyrics of FAIL
Vanilla Ice’s hit song Ice Ice Baby was the first song I can remember listening to and later finding out that I had misunderstood some of the lyrics. Now I know what you’re thinking, big deal, there are lots of songs out there with hard to understand lyrics. And I would agree, however; that’s if you’re normal. The songs I messed up, most people will hear clear as day. I not only frequently misunderstood easy lyrics, but I also would belt them out like a 14 year old choir girl trying to impress her daddy.
Today I’m creating a new category for FunnyAssBlog in honor of my incredible ability to misunderstand song lyrics. I call it, Lyrics of FAIL. Enjoy.
A clip from Vanilla Ice’s – Ice Ice Baby:

The lyrics for the clip are as follows:
Yo man let’s get out of here
Word to your mother
Ice ice baby too cold
Ice ice baby too cold too cold
Ice ice baby too cold too cold
Ice ice baby too cold too cold
Easy? Not for me. Oh yeah, another thing. One of my little brothers was also guilty of this same mistake. We would actually sit down in front of our little boom box and mess up these lyrics together. Here’s what we thought they were saying:
Yo man let’s get out of here
Word to your mother
Ice ice baby chica
Ice ice baby chick-ahh chick-ahh
Ice ice baby chick-ahh chick-ahh
Ice ice baby chick-ahh chick-ahh
Chick-ahh!
I’d like to think that embarrassing little mix up was to be my last. Fortunately, I’ll be posting them all on future entries in the Lyrics of FAIL.
