Summary: Mishearing lyrics has become a new hobby!
Review: 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy, and its followup, He's Got The Whole World in His Pants (both by Gavin Edwards) had me, as well as everyone in my office, laughing so hard we couldn't speak.
After you read these books, you sing the wrong lyrics on purpose when you hear the songs on the radio! You also find yourself making up wrong lyrics just for the fun of it!
Edwards provide the right and wrong lyrics, as well as the name of the song and the artist(s)!
For some of the songs, illustrations are included (although Edwards used a different illustrator for each book). In some cases, the illustrations are the best part of the book.
My third favorite misheard lyric was: Oh, beautiful for spaceship guys
instead of
Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, from America the Beautiful!
My favorite two lyrics are actually a little too risque to print here, but they alone are worth buying these books for.

Summary: It made me comfortable to think i am not alone on this one!
Review: all i kept thinking of when reading this more than humourous book was that darn Enya song that plagues my very existence.You might know this one already or have even sung it wrong yourself...Orinoco Flow-(actual words)Sail Away, sail away, sail away...(what can be actually interpreted)-Save the Whales, Save the Whales, Save the Whales... i highly recommend this book for not only the music buff, but the music blunderer!!!

Summary: I'm ashamed to admit
Review: but I must. I recently found out that the words to a "Blind Melon" song which I thought were "Ya know I like to keep my chi extracted . . ." we're "You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today . . ." To me - too funny. If anyone runs into the author tell him he can use that one! Word!!!

Summary: Nothing special
Review: Eh... whatever. Good book for Dave Barry fans (this excludes me). Although on occasion this book did crack me up, and did indicate which AD/DC lyrics I misheard... on the whole it seemed just a tad too flaky for me. Also, I highly doubt the "misheard" lyrics are genuine - many are just too far off to be plausible. It just seems that the author went out of his way to make the lyrics funnier. The results are often pretty fake. So like I said: Eh... whatever. Kills an hour of your time.

Summary: Did not like it!!!
Review: I have never heard of any of these misheard lyrics. The knew every lyric that was "misheard". I thought I would be getting a book full of lyrics that I couldn't understand. These must all be from small children who do not understand. It was a pitiful attempt to be funny. He probably sat at home and made up his own misinterpretations instead of going out and researching what other people thought they heard.

Summary: Lyrics, Please!
Review: I have read and sung so many lyrics in my career - and heard so many funny mis-interpretations of lyrics. My own kids "murdered" some lyrics when they were small. This book is a kick! Just sit back and relax and enjoy some chuckles at the end of the day!!
