Subject: Blatantly "made up" misheard lyrics
Written By: Jason on 10/10/06 at 2:58 pm
Dear ChuckyG
I have noticed that some "misheard lyrics" on the site are blatantly made up. For example on the Wham! page: http://www.amiright.com/artists/wham.shtml
someone has submitted "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" misheard as "Throw The Jew Down The Well". There is NO WAY this can be regarded as misheard. Also on the Queen misheard lyrics section, "Bohemian Rhapsody" crops up misheard as "Bohemian Rap City" or "Bohemian Rap CD", except that Bohemian Rhapsody is never sung in the song!

I just happened to come across this. I know this message is kind of old...but I would like to report that those "made up" misheards are all gone now. I have been reviewing existing entries for the past four months, getting rid of duplicate entries, fixing problems with the existing ones, and getting rid of bogus mishearings. There are plenty more that probably still have faults with them, but I will get to those when I have a chance.
